Kidney diseases represent an increasingly significant global public health challenge, with an estimated prevalence of around 10% among adults and a rising trend influenced by factors such as population aging and exposure to nephrotoxic agents. Given the limitations of conventional treatments, which often only slow disease progression and may cause adverse effects, there is growing interest in exploring alternative therapies based on natural compounds. Sansevieria trifasciata, commonly known for its ornamental use, has been widely used in traditional medicine in Mexico and other tropical regions due to its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and regenerative properties. Recently, its phytochemical profile has drawn scientific attention, particularly due to its high content of hydroxylated aromatic compounds such as flavonoids, terpenes, and phenolic acids, which may offer protective effects on kidney function. For this review, searches were conducted in specialized databases such as PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar, as well as platforms like ChEMBL and SWISS, selecting articles published between 2008 and 2025. This work aims to compile and critically analyze the available scientific literature on the nephroprotective potential of the phytochemicals found in S. trifasciata, and includes a preliminary exploration of their possible mechanisms of action using pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic prediction tools.
