Research Concerning the Efficiency of Aronia Melanocarpa for Pharmaceutical Purpos

Abstract

The major impact of many types of disease on the human body have generated medical research orientation toward biotechnology identification and extraction of active principles from natural resources. The social problem to improve the health of the population, to maintain social balance of a healthy society oriented medical-pharmaceutical research for the use of other sources of pharmaceuticals from natural sources and not synthetic chemistry. On this line of work is also included the research wich orientates pharmaceutical medical studies by using new sources of bioactive compounds such as: anthocyanes, flavonoids, phenolic acids, chlorogenic acid, tannins, vitamin P,C, B2, B6 from the shrub Aronia Melanocarpa. Besides these compounds are also found in the fruits different cyanidin glycosides: 3-galactoside, 3-glucoside, 3-arabinoside and 3-xyloside. The rich content in bioactive forms makes possible the use in treating certain diseases by using internal use in household. For internal use are used by diabetics having hypoglycemic effect, astringent properties and very strong diuretics, they are cardiac tonic, regulates blood pressure and blood glucose, treatment of varicose veins and hemorrhoids, it has a good hepatoprotective effect due to its high iodine content , are effective in hyperthyroidism and can be consumed by sufferers of Alzheimer's disease and relieving symptoms slowig the aging processes.

Standardized Aronia melanocarpa Extract as Novel Supplement against Metabolic Syndrome: A Rat Model

“…Recent researches have focused attention on A. melanocarpa due to its numerous health benefits in a broad range of pathological conditions [12]. It has been reported that fruit and extracts of A. melanocarpa exert gastroprotective, hepatoprotective, antiinflammatory and antiproliferative activity [12,13]. Furthermore, the health-promoting effects of extracts of this plant involve antiatherosclerotic, antiplatelet and hypoglycemic properties [7,14].…”

“…Furthermore, the health-promoting effects of extracts of this plant involve antiatherosclerotic, antiplatelet and hypoglycemic properties [7,14]. Moreover, it was previously confirmed that A. melanocarpa extract may reduce systolic and diastolic pressure and be useful in the management of DM [5,13]. However, to our best knowledge, the effectiveness of A. melanocarpa extract in combination with different diet regimens in the treatment of MetS has been not investigated so far.…”

Biologial Activity of Plant Metabolites

“…Recent researches have focused attention on A. melanocarpa due to its numerous health benefits in a broad range of pathological conditions (Jurikova, 2017). It has been reported that fruit and extracts of A. melanocarpa exert gastroprotective, hepatoprotective, antiinflammatory and antiproliferative activity (Lupascu, 2016). Furthermore, 1,2,3 Abstract: This study summarizes the effects standardized Aronia melanocarpa extract (SAE) on different pathophysiological processes linked with cardiovascular system from both animal and human investigations.…”
