Potential metabolites of Arecaceae family for the natural anti-osteoarthritis medicine: A review

“…Some plants from this family, namely sugar palm ( Arenga pinnata ) and palmyra palm ( Borassus flabellifer ) have reportedly been used empirically and scientifically proven to treat OA because they contain polysaccharides as chondroprotectors [ 31 , 32 ]. Both plants have also been reported to produce various anti-inflammatory secondary metabolites, such as flavonoids, alkaloids, steroids, and phenolic compounds [ 33 , 34 ]. Economically, the development of natural medicines from plants of the Arecaceae family can provide advantages over existing anti-osteoarthritis drugs, supported by abundant natural resources.…”
