Abstract
Background:
Plants and their derived products have been used in history as
food and medicine. Plant materials are rich sources of fiber, minerals, vitamins, and bioactive
phytochemicals, which are useful for human beings. Strictinin is an important phytoconstituent
of green tea.
Methods:
Present work mainly focuses on the biological importance, therapeutic potential,
and pharmacological activities of strictinin in medicine. Numerous scientific data
have been collected from various literature databases such as Google Scholar, Science
Direct, PubMed, and Scopus database in order to realize the health beneficial potential of
strictinin. Pharmacological data has been collected and analyzed in the present work to
find the effectiveness of strictinin against human disorders and complications. Analytical
data of strictinin has been also collected and analyzed in the present work.
Results:
Scientific data analysis revealed the biological importance of strictinin in medicine.
Scientific data analysis signified the therapeutic benefit of strictinin mainly due to
its anticancer, antimicrobial, antibacterial, antiviral, and antioxidant activity. However,
enzymatic activities, cytotoxicity, effectiveness on skin disorders, and osteogenic potential
of strictinin have also been discussed. Analytical data revealed the importance of
modern analytical techniques in medicine for the separation, identification, and isolation
of strictinin.
Conclusion:
Present work signified the biological importance and therapeutic benefits of
strictinin in medicine and other allied health sectors.
