Resveratrol (3, 5, 4′-trihydroxy stilbene) is a type of natural phenol, produced by several plants in response to injury or under attack by pathogens. These phytoalexin compounds are thought to have antioxidant, anticancer, and anti-inflammatory properties. Although resveratrol is commonly used as a dietary supplement, there is no conclusive evidence of whether or not resveratrol could be a viable treatment in humans. Despite the richness of in-vitro and in-vivo research, which confirms its potential therapeutic effects, there is insufficient clinical evidence on its beneficial results in humans. In this review, we have focused on the mechanism of action of resveratrol and on clinical trials that have evaluated the efficacy of reseveratrol in cancer, cardiovascular diseases and neurodegenerative...

Echinacea purpurea L. is an herbaceous flowering plant. It is found in eastern and central North America. E. purpurea acts as antiviral and anti-inflammatory components include polyphenols such as polyvinylpolypyrroliodone (PVPP), poly-saccharides, glycoproteins, cichoric acid (2, 3-O-dicaffeoyl-tartaric acid), alkylamides and caffeic acid derivatives. These compounds help in a direct virucidal activity such as influenza virus A and B, Para-influenza viruses, Corona viruses and Adenoviruses and anti-inflammatory effects against several respiratory diseases, affects on the proinflammatory response of epithelial cells and reduction of mucin by airways cells these bioactive compounds are characterized for further, improvements in the efficacy of Echinacea...

Traditional herbal medicines are widely accepted in the world. Certain countries and WHO have research investment in traditional herbal medicines. Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) came as a major health care challenge for humans in 2019. 480 deaths have been recorded till 18th of April 2020 in India. No pharmaceutical products have yet been shown to be safe and effective for the treatment of COVID-19. Major 3 types of targets of Coronavirus were identified by researches, which are as follow-1) Inhibit coronavirus at a structural level, 2) Inhibit Coronavirus RNA synthesis and replication and 3) inhibit virulence factor of Coronavirus. Certain herbal medicines like Tribulus terrestris, Withania somnifera, Curcuma longa, Ocimum sanctum, and Phyllanthus emblica have potent anti-viral (Anti-COV-19) properties against novel Coronavirus, which is indicating new sunrise in the direction of herbal...

Marine natural products are currently acknowledged as the most significant source of bioactive substances and medications with phenomenal biodiversity. Marine plants and creatures, for example, algae, bacteria, sponges, fungi, seaweeds, corals, diatoms, ascidians, are significant sources of the ocean and contain over 90% of the complete ocean biomass. Because of its exceptional biodiversity, the sea world is a rich common asset for some biologically active compounds. About half of the world’s biodiversity is a marine organism; thus, the seas and oceans are viewed as the biggest repositories with an immense assortment of new substances and natural molecules of benefit. During the previous four decades, various novel compounds have been confined from a marine organism, and a large number of these substances have been appeared to have intriguing biologic potential.This review is an ongoing update of data about efficient marine eugicons (proteins, peptides, amino acids, fatty acids, sterols, polysaccharides, oligosaccharides, phenolic compounds, photosynthetic pigments, vitamins, and minerals) and spotlight on their potential health benefits. Accordingly, the work assessed so far...
