Flavonoids are found in the roots, stems, leaves, and fruits of many plant taxa. They related to growth development, pigment formation, protection against environmental stress. function as antioxidants exert anti-inflammatory effects cardiovascular system by modulating classical inflammatory response pathways, such TLR4-NF-ĸB, PI3K-AKT, Nrf2/HO-1 signalling pathways. There is increasing evidence for therapeutic flavonoids on hypertension, atherosclerosis, other diseases. The potential clinical value diseases has been widely explored. For example, studies have evaluated roles regulation blood pressure via endothelium-dependent non-endothelium-dependent pathways myocardial systolic diastolic functions influencing calcium homeostasis smooth muscle-related protein expression. also hypoglycaemic, hypolipidemic, anti-platelet, autophagy, antibacterial effects. In this paper, role mechanism were reviewed order provide reference application future.

At present, the occurrence of a large number infectious and non-communicable diseases poses serious threat to human health as well drug development for treatment these diseases. One most significant challenges is finding new candidates that are therapeutically effective have few or no side effects. In this respect, active compounds in medicinal plants, especially flavonoids, potentially useful with wide range pharmacological activities. They naturally present nature valuable many Flavonoids divided into fourteen categories mainly derived from plant extraction, chemical synthesis structural modification, biosynthesis. The modification flavonoids an important way discover drugs, but biosynthesis currently considered promising research direction potential revolutionize production pipeline flavonoids.

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains the leading cause of mortality worldwide, with complex pathophysiological mechanisms such as oxidative stress, inflammation, apoptosis, and endothelial dysfunction driving progression. MicroRNAs (miRNAs), a class non-coding RNAs, have emerged key regulators gene expression involved in these processes, positioning them potential biomarkers therapeutic targets CVD management. Simultaneously, flavonoids, naturally occurring polyphenolic compounds found various plant-based foods, gained attention for their cardioprotective properties, including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-apoptotic effects. Recent studies suggest novel intersection between flavonoids miRNAs, where may modulate specific miRNAs implicated pathogenesis. This review explores miRNA modulators, focusing on ability to regulate associated cardiac fibrosis, hypertrophy, vascular inflammation. By bridging targeting, this highlights innovative pathways advancing treatment strategies. Additionally, preclinical clinical evidence supporting interactions is discussed, alongside challenges opportunities developing flavonoid-based therapies. Unlocking synergy could pave way more effective, personalized approaches management, addressing unmet needs contemporary cardiovascular care.

The incidence and prevalence of cardiovascular diseases are still rising. principal mechanism that drives them is atherosclerosis, an affection given by dyslipidemia a pro-inflammatory state. Paraoxonase enzymes have protective role due to their ability contribute antioxidant anti-inflammatory pathways, especially paraoxonase 1 (PON1). PON1 binds with HDL (high-density lipoprotein), high serum levels lead state against dyslipidemia, diseases, diabetes, stroke, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, many others. Modulating expression might be treatment objective significant results in limiting the atherosclerosis. Lifestyle including diet exercise can raise its levels, some beneficial plants been found influence levels; therefore, more studies on herbal components needed. Our purpose highlight roles Praoxonase 1, implications other emphasize modulate expression, targeting potential flavonoids could introduced as supplements our validate hypothesis any effects regarding function.
