Convolvulus plant—A comprehensive review from phytochemical composition to pharmacy

Abstract

Convolvulus genus is a representative of the family of Convolvulaceae. Convolvulus plants are broadly distributed all over the world and has been used for many centuries as herbal medicine. Convolvulus genus contains various phytochemicals such as flavonoids, alkaloids, carbohydrates, phenolic compounds, mucilage, unsaturated sterols or terpenes, resin, tannins, lactones, and proteins. phytochemical composition, antimicrobial and antioxidant activities, application as food preservative, traditional medicine use, anticancer activities, and clinical effectiveness in human of Convolvulus plants. All the parts of Convolvulus plants possess therapeutic benefits; preliminary pharmacological data validated their use in traditional medicine. However, further preclinical and clinical experiments are warranted before any application in human health.

The value of bioactive compounds of cruciferous vegetables (Brassica) as antimicrobials and antioxidants: A review

“…They are unique compounds, that cannot be equaled by synthetic molecules. Also, they have good tolerance and great acceptance by sick patients (Salehi et al, 2019). Many plants have been studied, but few have been applied commercially and it is expected that with new technologies, the production costs of these natural compounds will decrease and become more attractive to the market (M. and their corresponding enzymatically hydrolyzed products and find null antibacterial activity for intact glucosinolates.…”

Impact of Natural Compounds on Neurodegenerative Disorders: From Preclinical to Pharmacotherapeutics

“…In contemporary America, the herbal therapies are used in complementary or alternative medicine for many diseases and one in three patients with NDDs use herbal therapies. The most frequently used plant species for the treatment of NDDs in the Current evidence supports the applicability of natural compounds in human health, and their high diversity makes secondary metabolites a valuable source of novel drugs [16]. In fact, there is a growing interest in the potential use of secondary metabolites to prevent and manage NDDs.…”

“…metabolites are categorized into a number of compound classes, including terpenoids, alkaloids and phenylpropanoids and allied phenolic compounds, depending on their biosynthetic origins [11], or are broadly classified as nitrogen-containing or non-nitrogen-containing metabolites [10] (Figure 2). Current evidence supports the applicability of natural compounds in human health, and their high diversity makes secondary metabolites a valuable source of novel drugs [16]. In fact, there is a growing interest in the potential use of secondary metabolites to prevent and manage NDDs.…”

Characterization of Antibacterial Proanthocyanidins of Dalbergia monetaria, an Amazonian Medicinal Plant, by UHPLC-HRMS/MS

“…Multidisciplinary approaches involving ethnobotanical, chemical, and pharmaceutical studies are important for the search of new drugs, mainly from natural products [15][16][17]. The precious knowledge obtained from traditional medicine and the need to find new drugs with antibiotic properties set the aim for the present research.…”
