Plant-derived bioactive compounds are naturally occurring chemical substances found in plants that have biological activity. These compounds are secondary metabolites, which means they are not directly involved in the growth, development, or reproduction of plants
These compounds can neutralize free radicals, reducing oxidative stress and potentially lowering the risk of chronic diseases such as cancer and heart disease
Many Plant Derived Bioactive Compounds can reduce inflammation, which is beneficial in managing conditions like arthritis, cardiovascular diseases, and neurodegenerative disorders
Some compounds can protect neuronal cells from damage, which is particularly important in the context of neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's
Certain Plant Derived Bioactive Compounds have been shown to possess antimicrobial properties, making them useful in treating infections and as natural preservatives in food
Plant Derived Bioactive Compounds such as quinones , flavonoids , terpenoids and alkaloids feature in vitro antimicrobial activity
Plant Derived Bioactive Compounds can influence the gut microbiota, promoting a healthy balance of microorganisms that are crucial for digestion, immunity, and overall health
Others, such as the plant antimicrobial berberine, are associated with in vivo elimination of certain bacterial taxa and reduced Gut microbiota
Phytochemicals have a protective role against side effects of conventional chemotherapeutic agents
Positive Effects of Phytochemicals against Cancer Are Due to Their Direct Anticarcinogenic Activity
