Papaya seeds are reported to have higher therapeutic potential in comparison to the fruits in which they reside. Thus, the present in-vitro study aimed to evaluate and compare the anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory and anti-microbial effect of seed extracts on Carica papaya L. (Caricaceae). The bioactive form the seeds were sequentially fractionated with hexane, chloroform, diethyl ether, and methanol in the increasing order of polarity. Total phenolic and flavonoid contents were estimated. These extracts were assessed for an antioxidant property by 1, 1-diphenyl-2-picryl-hydroxyl (DPPH) method and reducing power assay was carried out using the FeCl3 method. Inhibition of 15-lipoxygenase (LOX) by these extracts at 5 -25μg to asses anti-inflammatory capacity was studied.
Neurodegenerative diseases are multifactorial nervous system deteriorating conditions that concern over 30 million aging populations worldwide. The effect of protein malfunction or defective trafficking is neurodegenerative disease, such as Alzheimer disease [AD], Parkinson’s disease [PD], Huntington's and Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis disorders. Furthermore, mitochondrial dysfunction, oxidative stress / age-linked environmental factors have also been involved. Prolonged use of synthetic medications could lead to adverse side effects for these illnesses. Henceforth herbal therapy attracts much attention rather than a pharmaceutical therapy is favoured. Indeed, several research studies have identified use of medicinal plants and their components for drug production, and recently more than 100 new medicines are now being established clinically. Accumulative data shows that nutraceuticals property is critical for cognition optimisation and risk mitigation. The study explores the role of phytochemical based antioxidants in cognitive and adverse signal transduction events, with a special focus on the Mediterranean diet [MeDi] comprising bioactive compounds like - xanthophyll carotenoids and omega-3 fatty acids. These phytochemical compounds are capable of improving cognition, considering their selective brain involvement and their specifically oxidative damage and inflammation. The objective of this study is to detail the molecular mechanisms of some Ayurvedic plants signal transduction and locations of operation. It is hoped that this review further helps to examine a new therapeutic recommendations and further research in clinical trials on the use of poly-herbal Ayurvedic medicine for the treatment and prevention of dementia. It is expected to increase the ease in the usage of Ayurveda-based knowledge base combined with combined scientific and high-performance screening strategies in the drug research and development campaign, while offering new practical guidelines for neurosurgical diseases linked to age.
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.
