Medicinal Importance and Pharmacological Activities of Sciadopitysin in the Medicine: Drug Target for Neuroprotection, Myocardial Infarction, Alzheimer’s Disease, Diabetes, and Related Complications

Abstract

Backgrounds: Herbal medicines have been used in the medicine over the last three decades and demand of herbal drugs has been increasing in the modern medicine due to their health beneficial aspects and pharmacological activities. Herbal medicines were mainly derived from the plants and their derived products which have significant role in the traditional and modern system of medicine. Plant based products have been used in the preparation of numerous health product including some of the modern pharmaceutical preparation. Ginkgo biloba is one of the important medicinal plants of the herbal medicine, which contain significant amount of sciadopitysin. Methods: Biological importance and therapeutic benefit of sciadopitysin have been investigated in the present investigation through scientific data analysis of different scientific research work in order to know the therapeutic potential of sciadopitysin in the medicine. Pharmacological activities of sciadopitysin have been searched and analyzed in the present work through different literature databases. Modern analytical tools for the isolation and quantification of sciadopitysin have been also discussed in the present work to know the therapeutic value of sciadopitysin in the medicine. Results: Scientific data analysis of different research work revealed the biological importance and therapeutic benefit of sciadopitysin which is a biflavonoids class phytochemical found to be present in the Ginkgo biloba. Scientific data analysis of present work revealed the biological importance of sciadopitysin in the medicine for the treatments of human health complications against diabetes and its complications, osteoclastogenesis, myocardial infarction, Alzheimer’s disease, hepatic and renal toxicity, inflammatory disorders, osteoporosis, human skin disorders, lymphocyte proliferation and fungal diseases. Further scientific data analysis revealed the importance of standardization of plant materials and their derived products through sciadopitysin in the medicine. Conclusion: Scientific data analysis of collected research work revealed the biological importance of sciadopitysin in the medicine for their effectiveness against human health complications.
