Abstract
Background:
Herbal plants have been used in medicine for the treatment of numerous
human health complications. Plant-derived products, including extract, botanicals, and preparations,
have been used in medicine and other allied health sectors since a very early age and have
been available in the market for several decades. Flavonoids have been a well-known class of phytochemicals
in medicine due to their anti-oxidant, anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial and
hepatoprotective potential.
Method:
In order to know the medicinal importance and therapeutic benefit of cirsimaritin in
medicine, in the present investigation, scientific research data have been collected and analyzed
from various literature data sources, including Science Direct, Google, Google Scholar, PubMed,
and Scopus. Detailed pharmacological activities of cirsimaritin have been analyzed to know the biological
potential of cirsimaritin. However, for the standardization of plant material, numerous analytical
techniques have been developed in the scientific field, and analytical data of cirsimaritin
have been collected and analyzed in the present work.
Results:
Cirsimaritin, also called 4',5-dihydroxy-6,7-dimethoxyflavone, is a flavonoidal class phytochemical
found to be present in the medicinal plant. It has been utilised in medicine to address a
wide range of human health issues. Through the analysis of scientific data, it was found that cirsimaritin
has numerous health beneficial aspects due to its vast pharmacological activities. Its medicinal
importance is mainly due to its anti-oxidant, anti-bacterial, and anti-inflammatory activities.
Further data analysis revealed the therapeutic effectiveness of cirsimaritin on breast cancer, gallbladder
carcinoma, central nervous system disorders, diabetes mellitus, melanogenesis, immune responses,
human erythrocytes, and respiratory burst. The importance of GC-MS, LC-MS, HSSPME,
FTIR, ICP-OES, MS, NMR, LC/ESI-MS/MS, HPLC, reversed-phase HPLC, and TLC techniques
for the analysis of cirsimaritin has been revealed.
Conclusion:
The biological importance of cirsimaritin for the treatment of human health complications
was revealed; it could also be used for the development of effective medicine against human
disorders.
