Eating habits are changing over time and new innovative nutrient-rich foods will play a great role in the future. Awareness of the importance of a healthy diet is growing, so consumers are looking for new creative food products rich in phytochemicals, i.e., specialized metabolites (SM). The consumption of fruits, vegetables and aromatic species occupies an important place in the daily diet, but different edible flower species are still neglected and unexplored. Flowers are rich in SM, have strong antioxidant capacities and also possess significant functional and biological values with favorable impacts on human health. The main aim of this study was to evaluate the content of SM and the antioxidant capacities of the edible flower species: Calendula officinalis L. (common marigold), Tagetes erecta L. (African marigold), Tropaeolum majus L. (nasturtium), Cucurbita pepo L. convar. giromontiina (zucchini) and Centaurea cyanus L. (cornflower). The obtained results showed the highest content of ascorbic acid (129.70 mg/100 g fw) and anthocyanins (1012.09 mg/kg) recorded for cornflower, phenolic compounds (898.19 mg GAE/100 g fw) and carotenoids (0.58 mg/g) for African marigold and total chlorophylls (0.75 mg/g) for common marigold. In addition to the esthetic impression of the food, they represent an important source of SM and thus can have a significant impact if incorporated in the daily diet.

“…-it has a bitter, tart taste, can be used as a seasoning for soups and salads. The leaves are traditionally used as stomachic, diuretic, expectorant, hypoglycemic and stimulant agents (Chaudhary et al 2018). N. officinale herb contains a significant amount of iodine, ascorbic acid, carotene, mustard essential oil, glyconasturtin glycoside, organic acids, sugars and trace elements (potassium, iron, arsenic).…”

Abstract. Pozdnyakova Y, Omarova G, Murzatayeva A, Tankibaeva N. 2022. Biodiversity of wild spice plants of the Central Kazakhstan region and their medicinal potential. Biodiversitas 23: 4609-4625. The Central Asian region stretches from the Caspian Sea in the west to the border of western China in the east. Central Kazakhstan occupies the space of steppe and semi-desert zones within the Turgay Plateau in the west and the Kazakh Uplands in the center and in the east. Due to the remoteness of the steppes of Central Kazakhstan from the oceans, the climate in the region is extremely continental and arid. Due to this, the diversity of plant species is quite small. In this work, we have studied the biodiversity of wild herbs growing in the climatic conditions of Central Asia. We also assessed the prospects of the found plant species as medicines. This study took place as part of the traditional summer practice of biology students in the period July-August 2019. The main method used in the field research was route reconnaissance. As a result of field research, 40 wild spice plant species belonging to 17 families were found. Among them, the most numerous are the families Lamiaceae - 9 species, Brassicaceae - 6 species, Apiaceae - 5 species, Asteraceae - 4 species, the families Rosaceae and Fabaceae - 2 species of herbs. All of these species are mentioned in a number of old recipes and can be revived and re-recommended for widespread use. A critical assessment of the literature on the medicinal properties of the studied spices irrefutably shows that they have enormous health potential. Based on the data obtained, it can be concluded that wild spice plants growing in the territory of Central Kazakhstan have a wide range of taste diversity and prospects for successful commercial exploitation.

“…27) was developed back in the late 1950s; all of these drugs contained catechol groups, such as gallic acid (58), caffeic acid (59), U-0521 (60), 2-hydroxyoestrogen (61), and flavonoids like quercetin (62). However, there are numerous reports available, revealing the inhibition of COMT by some plant-derived alkaloids and phenolics (Abdel-Moty et al, 1998;Chaudhary et al, 2016Chaudhary et al, , 2018aChaudhary et al, , 2018bChaudhary et al, , 2019Chaudhary et al, , 2020El-Shorbagi et al, 2015Mohamed et al, 1993;Soliman et al, 2019;Vieira-Coelho et al, 1996). These drugs have undergone insufficient clinical trials, so they are not actually used as medicines due to unsatisfactory selectivity, toxicity, and disadvantageous pharmacokinetics (Backstrom et al, 1989;Ruottinen and Rinne, 1998).…”

Parkinson's disease (PD) is the second most prevailing neurodegenerative disorder and is indicated by the degeneration of dopaminergic neurons within the substantia nigra; various categories of drugs aim to ensure the controlling of motor symptoms; nonetheless, the same will contribute to multiple side effects. This review dispatches a synopsis about physiopathology, clinical features, and etiology of PD and demonstrates the most common drug classes currently used in the management of PD as well as future treatment strategies. This review highlights the miscellaneous aims, targets, and drugs concerted during the years, for the management of PD. This assessment targets predominantly most of the drugs and chemical agents that have been used in treating PD and understanding their synthesis, uses (alone or in combination), and their imperfections. In this review, we have identified the current therapies used in treating PD patients along with the promising therapies for treatment of PD.
