Abstract

This review compiles in vitro and in vivo studies on the antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial and antidiabetic activity of wild cherry Prunus serotina (and Prunus padus), and characterises the phytochemical content (tocopherols, vitamins, polyphenols, terpenes and cyanogenic glycosides) of the leaves, bark and fruits, indicating their health-promoting potential.
