Abstract
Background:
Polyphenols are a group of secondary plant metabolites produced in
plants as a protective system against oxidative stress, UV radiation, pathogens, and predatorial
attacks. Flavonoids are a major class of plant phenolics present in fruits, vegetables, tea, and red
wine. Tectoridin, also called 40,5,7-thrihydroxy-6-methoxyisoflavone-7-Ob-D-glucopyranoside
is an isoflavone glycoside present in the flower of Porites lobata.
Methods:
Present work focused on the biological importance, therapeutic potential, and pharmacological
activities of tectoridin in medicine. Numerous scientific data have been collected from
different literature databases such as Google Scholar, Science Direct, PubMed, and Scopus to
know the health beneficial potential of tectoridin. Pharmacological data have been analyzed in
the present work to know the biological effectiveness of tectoridin against human disorders. Analytical
data of tectoridin have been collected and analyzed in the present work to know the
importance of modern analytical methods in the isolation, separation, and identification of
tectoridin.
Results:
Scientific data analysis revealed the biological importance and therapeutic benefit of
tectoridin in medicine, signifying the therapeutic potential in healthcare systems. The biological
activities of tectoridin are mainly due to its anti-inflammatory, anti-platelet, anti-angiogenic,
hepatoprotective, anti-tumor, estrogenic, antioxidant, and hypoglycemic activity. However, this
work has also presented the effectiveness of tectoridin against rat lens aldose reductase, nitric oxide,
skeletal and cardiac muscle sarcoplasmic reticulum, and enzymes. Analytical data signified
the importance of modern analytical techniques for separation, identification, and isolation of
tectoridin.
Conclusion:
The present work signified the biological importance and therapeutic benefit of tectoridin
in medicine and other allied health sectors.
