Viburnum opulus L., commonly known as the European cranberry bush or The guelder rose is a widely distributed deciduous shrub in Asia, Europe, and North America. Traditionally, its fruits and bark have been used to treat various ailments, including uterine cramps, inflammation, and gastrointestinal disorders. The plant is rich in diverse phytochemicals such as phenolic acids, flavonoids, anthocyanins, triterpenes, coumarins, and iridoids, which contribute to its wide range of pharmacological effects. Experimental studies have demonstrated significant antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antispasmodic, antimicrobial, cardioprotective, and antidiabetic activities. Primarily, these biological effects attributed to compounds like cyanidin-3-glucoside, chlorogenic acid, and derivatives of ursolic acid. The present review consolidates current knowledge on the botanical characteristics, phytochemical composition, extraction processes, and pharmacological properties of Viburnum opulus, emphasizing its potential as a valuable source of natural therapeutics and functional food ingredients.
