Pongamiapinnata, sometimes known as the karanja tree, is a fast-growing evergreen tree native to Asia and Australia that belongs to the pea family, Fabaceae. Pongamiapinnata has long been regarded for its medicinal, agricultural, and industrial purposes, but it has recently received attention for its potential in antifungal therapies. This review looks at the development and therapeutic effects of antifungal creams made using Pongamiapinnata extracts. The antifungal effects of Pongamiapinnata are mostly due to its bioactive component, karanjin, which has substantial antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and antifungal capabilities. These characteristics make it a good candidate for treating a variety of skin disorders, including psoriasis, eczema, and fungal infections. This paper covers the botanical properties of Pongamiapinnata, its phytochemical composition, and current advances in creating potent antifungals.treatments.

These developments have far-reaching ramifications, including improved patient outcomes, expanded therapeutic applications, and eventual integration into mainstream dermatological treatments. Future study will focus on enhancing formulation stability and efficacy, investigating synergistic effects with other antifungal drugs, and completing full clinical studies.to demonstrate the therapeutic potential of Pongamiapinnata-based antifungal creams. Overall, recent advances in this sector show great potential for improving antifungal treatment options and broadening the medicinal use of Pongamiapinnata.
