植物正在被研究作为新药的潜在来源,这导致了最近加速发现新的生物活性化合物。植物化合物合成和加工的组织培养技术的研究迅速发展,超越所有的期望。这些植物可以买到原料或提取物,一些化学物质是通过将植物在水中捣碎来提取的,酒精,或另一种溶剂。草药的使用可能为减少感染的发作和治疗包括癌症在内的不同疾病开辟新的机会。一种在冬天开花的多年生植物,仙客来,是许多国家使用最广泛的盆栽花卉之一。生物碱,黄酮类化合物,酚类物质,单宁,皂苷,固醇,和糖苷是仙客来的主要活性成分。镇痛,细胞毒性,抗氧化剂,抗菌,和抗炎特性都已被证明是仙客来块茎的各种提取物的潜在作用。然而,在官方医学中使用这种药用植物将需要在药理学领域进行进一步研究。此外,有必要为原始草药创建标准的操作程序。在这方面,这篇综述旨在强调仙客来植物的关键特性,比如它的各个部分,物种,发展阶段,和地理范围;查明其有趣的生物活动,它的抗氧化剂,抗炎,及其抗癌作用;并确定其潜在的医疗用途和主要的未来前景。
Plants are being researched as potential sources of novel drugs, which has led to a recent acceleration in the discovery of new bioactive compounds. Research on tissue culture technology for the synthesis and processing of plant compounds has skyrocketed, surpassing all expectations. These plants can be bought either raw or as extracts, where some of the chemicals are extracted by mashing the plant in water, alcohol, or another solvent. The use of herbal medicine may open new chances for reducing the onset of infections and treating different diseases including cancer. A perennial plant that blooms in the winter, Cyclamen, is one of the most widely used potted flowers in many nations. Alkaloids, flavonoids, phenols, tannins, saponins, sterols, and glycosides are the main active components of Cyclamen. Analgesic, cytotoxic, antioxidant, antimicrobial, and anti-inflammatory properties have all been demonstrated as potential effects of various extracts of Cyclamen tubers. However, the use of this medicinal plant in official medicine will require further research in the areas of pharmacology. Furthermore, it is necessary to create standard operating procedures for a crude herbal medication. In this regard, this review aims to highlight the key characteristics of the Cyclamen plant, such as its various parts, species, stages of development, and geographic range; pinpoint its intriguing bioactivities, its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and its anti-cancerous effects; and ascertain its potential medicinal uses and the main future perspectives.
