Use of herbs and plants in cooking and medicinal dates back thousands of years. In this overview, we look at the many plant species that still have immune-boosting and cancer-fighting properties. Carotenoids, flavonoids, ligands, polyphenolics, terpenoids, sulphides, lignans, and plant sterols are only some of the many active phytochemicals found in different types of herbs. There are a number of mechanisms through which these phytochemicals exert their effects. They either prevent cell division or stimulate the synthesis of a protective enzyme such as glutathione transferase. The cancer-fighting and cholesterol-lowering effects of mevalonate are counteracted by the volatile oils and plant extracts from various herbs and plants.
Objectives: This study's objective was to investigate whether or not a methanolic extract of Mallotus japonicas could decrease H+-K+ ATPase activity and neutralise acid.
Materials and Methods: We assessed the total phenolic and flavonoid contents of the sample while it was exposed to varying amounts of standard esmoprazole and methanol extract.
Results: The proton pump inhibitory activity of the extract from stomach mucosal homogenate was found to be significant (*P<0.05) and on par with the standard.
Conclusions: Based on these findings, it may be concluded that the proton pump can be effectively blocked by the methanolic extract.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
