Abstract

An innovative and exciting development in complementary therapies is the utilization of insects as a practical and valuable way to obtain natural products. It has been discovered that a number of insect constituents serve various purposes. This research sought to evaluate the in vitro antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anticancer and anti-Alzheimer impact of wasp venom extract and mastoparan.
