Abstract
Bioactive molecules have been significantly known for therapeutic potential. One such molecule, garcinol, is a naturally occurring benzophenone derived from medicinally applicable many species of garcinia family, more specifically Garcinia indica. Diverse therapeutic applications of garcinol and Garcinia indica have been studied and documented in the literature. This review covers our previous study on garcinol and its analogs as target-specific potential anti-cancer and anti-inflammatory agents. Also, it accomplishes recent reports on the medicinal significance and challenges of garcinol and its analogs to develop as therapeutics.
期刊介绍:
The purpose of Polycyclic Aromatic Compounds is to provide an international and interdisciplinary forum for all aspects of research related to polycyclic aromatic compounds (PAC). Topics range from fundamental research in chemistry (including synthetic and theoretical chemistry) and physics (including astrophysics), as well as thermodynamics, spectroscopy, analytical methods, and biology to applied studies in environmental science, biochemistry, toxicology, and industry. Polycyclic Aromatic Compounds has an outstanding Editorial Board and offers a rapid and efficient peer review process, as well as a flexible open access policy.
