Java plum is widely recognized as a plant with valuable medical properties, originating from Indonesia and India and distributed globally in the tropics and sub-tropics. The plant is rich in alkaloids, flavonoids, phenyl propanoids, terpenes, tannins, and lipids. The phytoconstituents of the plant seeds possess various vital pharmacological activities and clinical effects including its antidiabetic potential. The bioactive phytoconstituents of java plum seeds includes jambosine, gallic acid, quercetin, β-sitosterol, ferulic acid, guaiacol, resorcinol, p-coumaric acid, corilagin, ellagic acid, catechin, epicatechin, tannic acid, 4,6 hexahydroxydiphenoylglucose, 3,6-hexahydroxy diphenoylglucose,1-galloylglucose, and 3-galloylglucose. Considering all the potential benifical effects of the major bioactive compounds of the seeds of this plant species, in the current investigation, the specific clinical effects and the mechanism of action of the major bioactive compounds along with the extraction procedure are discussed.
