This review provides a comprehensive overview of Microcos paniculata’s phytoconstituents, traditional uses, and various activities present on the various parts of the plant. The primary photochemical evaluation of crude methanolic extract of stem bark of M. paniculata revealed the presence of flavonoids, diterpenes, alkaloids, saponin, tannin and phenols. This plant has anti diarrheal, analgesic, membrane stabilizing, cytotoxic, antioxidant, antimicrobial, antifungal and thrombolytic activities. Traditionally, Microcos paniculata has been used to treat heat stroke, hepatitis, diarrhoea, wounds, cold, and fever.
