Persian walnut (Juglans regia L) is a tree species that has been of interest to humans since its medicinal and nutritional effects. The wild population of this species has been recorded in the temperate and semi-arid mountainous regions of Central Asia, East and South Asia, the Middle East and the Caucasus region. The origin of Iran's walnut communities is in the Hyrcanian forest in the north of Iran. Walnut is a source of various medicinal compounds such as various biologically active substances such as polyphenols, flavonoids, steroids, phospholipids, triterpenes, kinins, fatty acids, tannins, gallic acid and ellagic acid, and plays an important role in medicine, especially in traditional Iranian medicine. All these compounds have turned walnut into an important commercial product that is of high value in the pharmaceutical and food industry. In this study, various medicinal effects of this valuable species such as anti-cancer, anti-oxidant and anti-diabetic effects have been investigated according to recent researches and it shows that depending on the different climatic conditions, the medicinal compounds of walnut can change and this phenomenon is necessary. It creates more research in this field.
