This document summarizes several sources that discuss the traditional uses and phytochemical constituents of Syzygium cumini (jamun). Specifically, it reviews research from India and the Philippines on the medicinal properties and insecticidal activity of extracts from S. cumini seeds and plants against pests like diamondback moth and cabbage worm. Traditional uses of S. cumini discussed include treatment of diabetes, digestive issues, and skin diseases. Several studies identified phytochemicals in S. cumini including flavonoids, tannins, alkaloids, and phenolic compounds which may contribute to its reported medicinal effects.
