Natural products, including organisms (plants, animals, or microorganisms) have been shown to possess health benefits for animals and humans. According the estimation of World Health Organization, in developing countries, 80% population has still depended on traditional medicines folk which are mostly prepared from plant prevention treatment diseases. Traditional medicine extracts proved be more affordable, clinically effective relatively less adverse effects than modern drugs. Literature shows that attention application phytochemical constituents medicinal plants pharmaceutical industry increased significantly.

Depression is a mental health disorder that develops as result of complex psycho-neuro-immuno-endocrinological disturbances. This disease presents with mood disturbances, persistent sadness, loss interest and impaired cognition, which causes distress to the patient significantly affects ability function have satisfying family, social professional life. requires comprehensive management, including pharmacological treatment. Because pharmacotherapy depression long-term process associated risk numerous adverse drug effects, much attention paid alternative therapy methods, phytopharmacotherapy, especially in treating mild or moderate depression. Preclinical studies previous clinical confirm antidepressant activity active compounds plants, such St. John’s wort, saffron crocus, lemon balm lavender, less known European ethnopharmacology, roseroot, ginkgo, Korean ginseng, borage, brahmi, mimosa tree magnolia bark. The these plants exert antidepressive effects similar mechanisms those found synthetic antidepressants. description phytopharmacodynamics includes inhibiting monoamine reuptake oxidase complex, agonistic antagonistic on multiple central nervous system (CNS) receptors. Moreover, it noteworthy anti-inflammatory effect also important mentioned above light hypothesis immunological disorders CNS are significant pathogenetic factor narrative review results from traditional, non-systematic literature review.

Novel biomaterials are becoming more crucial in treating human diseases. However, many materials require complex artificial modifications and synthesis, leading to potential difficulties preparation, side effects, clinical translation. Recently, significant progress has been achieved terms of direct self-assembly natural products from herbal medicine (NPHM), an important source for novel medications, resulting a wide range bioactive supramolecular including gels, nanoparticles. The NPHM-based produced renewable resources, simple prepare, have demonstrated multi-functionality slow-release, smart-responsive release, especially possess powerful biological effects treat various In this review, revealed as emerging, revolutionary, promising strategy. development, advantages, limitations NPHM, well the advantageous position materials, first reviewed. Subsequently, systematic comprehensive analysis strategies specific seven major classes NPHM is highlighted. Insights into influence structural features on formation also provided. Finally, drivers preparations summarized, emphasizing biomedical applications, future scientific challenges, opportunities, with hope igniting inspiration research applications.

Rare ginsenosides (Rg3, Rh2, C-K, etc.) refer to a group of dammarane triterpenoids that exist in low natural abundance, mostly produced by deglycosylation or side chain modification via physicochemical processing metabolic transformation gut, and last but not least, exhibited potent biological activity comparing the primary ginsenosides, which lead high concern both research development ginseng ginsenoside-related nutraceutical products. Nevertheless, comprehensive review on these promising compounds is available yet. Review In this review, recent advances (RGs) were summarized dealing with structurally diverse characteristics, traditional usage, drug discovery situation, clinical application, pharmacological effects underlying mechanisms, structure-activity relationship, toxicity, stereochemistry properties, production strategies. Key Scientific Concepts A total 144 RGs skeletons bioactivities isolated from Panax species. acted as ligands some specific receptors, such bile acid steroid hormone adenosine diphosphate (ADP) receptors.

Traditional medicinal practices have used natural products such as adaptogens to treat inflammatory, autoimmune, neurodegenerative, bacterial, and viral diseases since the early days of civilization. Panax ginseng Myer is a common herb in East Asian countries for millennia, especially Korea, China, Japan. Numerous studies indicate that can modulate immune system thereby prevent diseases. Although human comprises many different types cells, multiple suggest each type cell be controlled or stimulated by its derivatives. Provisional lists ginseng's potential use against viruses, bacteria, other microorganisms it may prove valuable pharmaceutical resource, particularly if higher-quality evidence found. Here, we reviewed role an immune-modulating agent attempt provide starting point future on system.
