骨关节炎(OA)是由液体和软骨基质组分减少引起的关节的慢性炎性疾病。这种疾病会导致疼痛的症状,畸形,和运动的限制。总的来说,用抗炎药和软骨保护化合物治疗OA,包括天然营养保健成分,预计有效且副作用最小。槟榔科植物在世界范围内广泛传播,尤其是在热带地区。这篇综述的目的是收集有关槟榔科作为抗OA药物的信息,主要研究集中在槟榔科植物的初级和次级代谢产物,即,糖棕榈(Arengapinnata),尼帕棕榈(Nypa果),棕榈(Borassusflabellifer),椰枣(凤凰城dactylifera),和槟榔(槟榔)具有潜在的抗OA剂。槟榔科的代谢产物显示抗炎和软骨保护作用是半乳甘露聚糖,脂肪酸(亚油酸和亚麻酸),黄酮类化合物(槲皮素,木犀草素,异鼠李素),酚类(香豆酸,阿魏酸),多酚(表儿茶素),和类固醇(豆甾醇,菜油甾醇,螺甾烷)。根据报告,槟榔科植物成为值得探索和开发的天然抗OA产品,如补充剂或营养品。
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a chronic inflammatory disorder of the joints caused by fluid and cartilage matrix component reduction. This disease results in symptoms of pain, deformity, and limitation of movement. In general, OA is treated with anti-inflammatory drugs and chondroprotection compounds, includes natural nutraceutical ingredients, which are expected to be effective and have minimal side effects. Arecaceae plants are widely spread worldwide, especially in tropical areas. The objective of this
review is to collect information about the Arecaceae family as anti-OA agents, with the main study focusing on the primary and secondary metabolites of plants of the Arecaceae family, i.e., sugar palm (Arenga pinnata), nipa palm (Nypa fruticans), palmyra palm (Borassus flabellifer), date palm (Phoenix dactylifera), and betel nut (Areca catechu) have potential as anti-OA agents. The Arecaceae\'s metabolites that show anti-inflammatory and chondroprotective effects are galactomannan, fatty acids (linoleic and linolenic acids), flavonoids (quercetin, luteolin, isorhamnetin), phenolics (coumaric acid, ferulic acid), polyphenols (epicatechin), and steroids (stigmasterol, campesterol, spirostane). Based on the reports, the Arecaceae family plants become worthy of being explored and developed into natural anti-OA products, such as supplements or nutraceuticals.
