Abstract :Coleus hadiensis (Forssk.) A.J.Paton is a horticultural herb that goes to the Lamiaceae family. This plant species has been using to treat diarrhea, skin and digestive disorders, diabetes, and carcinoma in ethnomedicines. This minireview work purposes to analyze, summarize, and document the reported bioactivities of C. hadiensis. Suitable published works were obtained employing the Web of Science, Scopus, PubMed, Semantic Scholar, and ScienceDirect databases from 1900 to December 2020. Hitherto, in vitro level of scientific evidence is the highest level of scientific evidence available for the bioactivities of this plant species. Various parts of C. hadiensis exhibited antioxidant, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, anticancer, and antimalarial activities in a range of assays. To date, eight bioactive (antimalarial and antioxidant) compounds have been isolated from C. hadiensis. This minireview analyzed, summarized, and documented the reported bioactivities of C. hadiensis. In addition, this minireview provides a basis for further bioactivities researches using C. hadiensis in future.Keywords : Bioactivities, Coleus hadiensis, Lamiaceae, Plectranthus hadiensis, Plectranthus zatarhendi, Siddha medicine, Sri Lanka
