1. Introduction

Plants are indispensable sources of medicine. Research on products obtained from nature is usually aimed to determine the medicinal values by exploring the available scientific knowledge and traditional uses. The phytochemicals isolated from these plants can be used as templates for further optimization of the lead molecules. It has been reported that in developing countries, 25% of the drugs are based on plants and their derivatives (Ramesh et al., 2013, Nahida et al., 2012). Several plants have been investigated for their phytochemical and pharmacological activities by various groups of researchers. One such plant of interest is Tectona grandis L.f (TG). It belongs to the family Verbenaceae. It is commonly referred to as teak. It is a large deciduous tree and may reach a height of 30–40 m with fluting and buttresses found at the base of older trees. The color of the bark is light grayish-brown. The leaves are large, shiny, opposite, and elliptic. The lower surface of the leaf is gray and covered with glandulous hairs. The flowers are small, white in color, and bisexual, appearing as large panicles. The fruit is a green, hairy, woody, irregularly rounded drupe (Nilesh et al., 2017). The tree can be found in several regions of south Asian countries and its parts such as root, bark, flowers, wood and oil are reported to be an important source of medical properties. The various parts of the plant have been used traditionally and ethnopharmacologically for the treatment of common cold, headache, in wound healing, bronchitis scabies, as a laxative, diuretic, antidiabetic, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, lipid disorders, constipation, and diuretic (Kruger and Schulz, 2007). These pharmacological activities were found to be augmented when combined with other extracts. The unique combinations of such natural ingredients have been filed for patents. This review intended to compile the phytoconstituents identified along with the part and the solvent used for the extract and methods utilized for quantifying these compounds, listing the biological activities along with the methods applied, the extracts used, a brief account of toxicological evaluation, allergic manifestations and also the list of important information regarding patents/patent applications that have been filed concerning this plant.

Inappropriate articles were excluded for the following reasons i.e. unrelated topic, insufficient data, duplication and unavailablity of the abstract or full-text. The qualification of each paper was assessed by reading the full-text. There was no limitation in the search period. In the systematic review, articles were included from the available databases from 1986 to 2021.

2. Phytochemical profile of Tectona grandis

Several instrumental methods are available for identifying and quantifying the phytoconstituents in plants. The literature review describes the use of classical techniques such as high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), high-performance thin-layer chromatography (HPTLC), gas chromatography-mass spectrometry [GC–MS], and various other methods in the field of medicinal and aromatic plants (Kruger and Schulz, 2007). Researchers have reported a wide gamut of phytoconstituents. The preliminary investigation of the different parts of the plant, such as bark, wood, leaves, flowers, fruits, etc. has revealed the presence of flavonoids, phenolics, alkaloids, and certain glycosides (Nayeem and Karvekar, 2011a). Several methods have been reported for quantifying the secondary metabolites found in the various parts of TG following the ICH guidelines.

The chemical structures of the different constituents of TG are provided in earlier publications (Neha and Sangeetha, 2013, Vyas et al., 2019, Goswami et al., 2009). The chemical structures of some important constituents of TG are provided below.

4. Toxicological studies

Acute toxicity studies are designed so as to determine the dose that will produce death or serious toxicological manifestations when the dose is given once or over a few administrations. These studies are significant in determining the margin of safety of a drug. Several reports are available for the toxicological screening of the different parts of TG. Review reveals that various parts were evaluated for their toxicity in a dose ranging from 1000 mg/kg to 5000 mg/kg body weight. The solvents used for the preparation of the extracts were water, methanol and ethanol. The extract was found to show no signs of toxicity even at a dose of 5000 mg/kg. However the maximum dose used in most of the studies were limited to 2000 mg/kg. The following table depicts some of the toxicological studies conducted on the plant along with the part, solvent and animal used.

5. Teak allergy

Plants are one of the major causes of contact dermatitis (Verma et al., 2001). Dust from tropical hardwoods such as teak can cause both irritant contact dermatitis and allergic contact dermatitis. Teak is a fairly potent sensitizer it contains primary irritants and is also a common cause of allergic contact dermatitis which have been confirmed by various studies (Rao and Balachandran, 2010, Estlander et al., 2001). The main allergens that have been identified are polyphenols, naphthoquinones, their dimers, lapachol and deoxylapachol. The presence of these constituents explains the allergenic properties of this plant species. Lapachol is less potent than deoxylapachol as sensitizer (Christensen, 2018, Carrieri et al., 2014). The most common reactions are eye, skin, and respiratory irritation and nausea.

6. Patent literature of Tectona grandis L.f

The patents for plants were filed in diversified areas taking into consideration the cultivation, harvesting, drying, extraction, standardization, formulation methods, the devices used, etc (Pennyroyal et al., 2011). The patent literature of TG was collected by performing the Keyword search (Tectona grandis and teak wood) in the Espacenet Patent Search database (https://worldwide.espacenet.com/patent/search). The claims of the obtained patents/patent applications were reviewed. The patents/patent applications mentioning the name of TG or teak wood along with pharmaceutical use were segregated. Authors independently analyzed the language, content and description mentioned in the patents. The important data from the selected patent applications are mentioned in Table 3.
