Novel Development of Nutritive, Enhanced Bioactivities, Antioxidant, Antimicrobial, Antiparasitic, DNA Protection and New Insights

Abstract

Herbal remedies are widely utilized as therapeutic approaches for different medical conditions all over the globe. Various chemical herbicides and pesticides, including the organic and inorganic Sulphur compounds, benzimidazoles, imazalil, and oxidizing compounds, have just been proposed to handle the diseases in plants in recent years to achieve this goal. Anti-inflammatory, antihyperlipidemic, anticancer, and oxidative, analgesics, anorexiant, plasmid curing, and antihyperglycemic properties prominent in medicinal plants. The leaves of another medicinal plant , Dracocephalum moldavica have been used for the treatment of stomach and liver disorders, headaches and congestion. Different plants also exhibit the multiple action against variety of microbial pathogens. Baccharis trimera used against the infections caused by Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonella gallinarum and Escherichia coli, Bacillus cereus strains. Ascorbic acid (vitamin C), carotenoids, tocopherol (vitamin E), and plant phenolic compounds are examples of low-molecular-weight compounds, non-enzymatic anti - oxidants obtained from nutrition. Bilirubin, serotonin, lipoic acid, ketoacids, uric acid, sex hormones, coenzyme Q, and other low-molecular-mass antioxidant chemicals are produced in vivo.

Evaluation of the Cytotoxic, Antioxidative and Antimicrobial Effects of Dracocephalum moldavica L. Cultivars

“…Medicinal plants have a long history of use for the treatment of a large variety of ailments, including infectious or cancerous disorders, and there are a large number of species that have been studied for their potential therapeutic properties [ 34 ]. At the basis of numerous of these ailments, antioxidative mechanisms exhibit one of the most important roles [ 43 ].…”

“…On the other hand, the cytotoxic activity of the species is less documented in previously performed studies, being attributed to flavonoids and studied on multiple myeloma and acute myeloid leukemia cell lines [ 14 ], but also to triterpenes and tested against cervical, lung, and hepatic cancerous cell lines [ 32 ]. The vast majority of the biological activities of this species are strongly related to its antioxidative mechanisms [ 16 , 34 ]. The antioxidant potential of the species is its most studied biological activity and is most frequently linked to the flavonoids composition [ 6 , 12 , 13 , 20 ], but also to its essential oils [ 11 , 18 , 19 ].…”

“…Plant phenols are essential because they are low-molecular-mass antioxidants that can be obtained from food (Nadeem et al, 2022).…”

“…Plant phenols are essential because they are low‐molecular‐mass antioxidants that can be obtained from food (Nadeem et al, 2022 ). In vitro and in vivo, several plant phenols demonstrated antibacterial or antioxidant activity (Prior, 2003 ).…”
