The effectiveness of fruits and vegetables in the management of various forms of ailments and disorders has been attributed to the presence of bioactive components. Most fruits and vegetables are only available for a season and perish easily. Peperomia pellucida is a seasonal vegetable that is usually available only during rainy season. The study investigated the nutritional contents, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities of Peperomia pellucida as well as the effects of drying on these activities. Methanolic extract of fresh and dried leaves and stem of Peperomia pellucida were subjected to phytochemical screening and nutritional analysis including estimation of soluble proteins, sugars and amino acids. Antioxidant analysis included vitamin C and vitamin E estimation, assay of DPPH-free radical scavenging activity and antioxidant reducing power while anti-inflammatory analyses included assay of membrane stability activity and albumin denaturation inhibition. All procedures were carried out using standard methods. Phytochemical analyses revealed the presence of a number of vital phytochemicals including alkaloids, flavonoids, cardiac glycosides, tanins, triterpenoids and xanthoproteins. Phytochemicals present in dried leaves of the plant were found to be higher than what obtained in the fresh leaves while fresh vegetables were found to have nutritional content (Vitamin E, Vitamin C, Protein, Soluble sugar and free amino acid) than the dried vegetable. Furthermore, both fresh and dired leaf extracts of P. pellucida exhibited a wide range of antioxidant and anti-inflammatory potentials which were found to be comparable to what obtained in standard drugs. Peperomia Pellucida is a vegetable of high nutritional value and has prospects of being used in the management of various diseases in which oxidative stress and inflammation are implicated. Furthermore, Processing (drying) of the vegetable elicits a great reduction in the nutritional contents. This could be due to dehydration and denaturation of the vital components of the vegetable.

Magnolol (MG) is one of the primary active components of Magnoliae officinalis cortex, which has been widely used in traditional Chinese and Japanese herbal medicine and possesses a wide range of pharmacological activities. In recent years, attention has been drawn to this component due to its potential as an anti-inflammatory and antitumor drug. To summarize the new biological and pharmacological data on MG, we screened the literature from January 2011 to October 2020. In this review, we provide an actualization of already known anti-inflammatory, cardiovascular protection, antiangiogenesis, antidiabetes, hypoglycemic, antioxidation, neuroprotection, gastrointestinal protection, and antibacterial activities of MG. Besides, results from studies on antitumor activity are presented. We also summarized the molecular mechanisms, toxicity, bioavailability, and formulations of MG. Therefore, we provide a valid cognition of MG.

History Of Use

Liquorice has a long history of use in traditional Chinese, Ayurvedic and herbal medicine. The liquorice plant contains numerous bioactive compounds, including triterpenes, flavonoids and secondary metabolites, with glycyrrhizin being the main active compound. Liquorice constituents have been found to have anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antiviral, anticancer, hepatoprotective and neuroprotective properties. In addition, they appear to have antidepressant actions and effects on morphine tolerance. Glycyrrhizin, its metabolite glycyrrhetic (glycyrrhetinic) acid and other liquorice-derived compounds such as isoflavonoids and trans-chalcones, exert potent anti-inflammatory effects via a wide range of mechanisms including high mobility group box 1 protein (HMGB1) inhibition, gap junction blockade and α2A-adrenoceptor antagonism. These properties, together with an increasing body of preclinical studies and a long history of use in herbal medicine, suggest that liquorice constituents may be useful for pain management. Glycyrrhizin is used widely in the confectionary, food and tobacco industries, but has documented adverse effects that may limit clinical use. Whether liquorice plant-derived compounds represent a novel class of analgesics is yet to be established. Having a host of bioactive compounds with a broad range of mechanisms of effect, liquorice is a plant that, in the future, may give rise to new therapies for pain.

Glycyrrhizic acid (GA), belonging to a class of triterpenes, is a conjugate of two molecules, namely glucuronic acid and glycyrrhetinic acid. It is naturally extracted from the roots of licorice plants. With its more common uses in the confectionery and cosmetics industry, GA extends its applications as a herbal medicine for a wide range of ailments. At low appropriate doses, anti-inflammatory, anti-diabetic, antioxidant, anti-tumor, antimicrobial and anti-viral properties have been reported by researchers worldwide. This review summarizes the effects of GA on metabolic syndrome, tumorigenesis, microbes and viruses, oxidative stress, and inflammation, as well as the reported side effects of the drug.

Background: Rose hip (Rosa canina L.) is the pseudo-fruit of the rose plant, which is widely known as a valuable source of polyphenols and vitamin C. Both in vivo and in vitro studies have demonstrated that this fruit exhibits anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antiobesogenic activities. The health benefits of Rose hip (RH) have been attributed to its wide range of bioactive compounds including the anti-inflammatory galactolipid: (2S)-1,2-di-O-[(9Z,12Z,15Z)-octadeca-9,12,15-trienoyl]-3-O- β-D-galactopyranosyl glycerol (GOPO), vitamin C, phenolics, lycopene, lutein, zeaxanthin, and other carotenoids. As cyclooxygenase inhibitors, RH compounds may reduce the risk of cancer, heart disease, and various inflammatory conditions. The aim of this review is to present an overview of the functional, medical, and physiological properties of RH.Keywords: Rosa canina, Rose hip, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, GOPO, lycopene, and vitamin C
