Through the classical era, humans relied on Phyto moieties to cure several illnesses, the most common of which is curcumin, the main phenol derived from the various varieties of turmeric. Its therapeutic and medicinal qualities are described in the Vedic Scriptures and Chinese medicine. Curcumin has been widely researched for its pleiotropic action, which includes anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties. The manuscript aims to describe the sources, properties, and pharmacological activities of curcumin. Turmeric is grown in entire India and curcumin is a major phytoconstituent of turmeric. It has pharmacological activities like antioxidant, analgesic, anticarcinogenic, chemo-preventive, anti-inflammatory, chemo-therapeutic, antifungal, antibacterial, antitumor, neuroprotective, antidiabetic, antiapoptotic, and immunomodulatory activities. Curcumin has been recommended in various research to have anticancer effects on several biochemical pathways associated with metastatic disease, cell cycle regulation, and so on. It can be concluded from the findings of the pieces of literature that curcumin is an important phytoconstituent and has the potential to treat various biological disorders. Curcumin’s anti-tumor efficacy is the most prominent research activity being carried by the researchers world-wide. In the present review, the authors have summarized the important pharmacological activities of curcumin and the mechanism of action involved to forecast the pharmacotherapeutic effect like for anticancer effect (suppression of NF-KB, intrinsic and extrinsic pathways, PKC inhibition and many more), for anti-viral effect (Interfering Genomic Replication, Inhibiting Virus attachment, Activation of cellular signaling Pathways, etc.), for Anti-diabetic (AMPK activation, Decreased liver fat deposition, etc.), for neuroprotective effect (Increased p-Akt and p-mToR levels, Reducing p-p338, LC-II/LC-I, p-38 levels, etc.) and for other activities also like antibacterial, immunomodulatory, anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant.\u0000","PeriodicalId":56153,"journal":{"name":"Natural Products Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2022-05-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42233159","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

There are two kinds of hypertrophy: physiological and pathological. Initially, what evolves as an adaptive reaction, advances to heart failure. Different cellular signaling pathways control each type of hypertrophy. Peppermint - Mentha x piperita, a hybrid of Mentha spicata and Mentha aquatica belongs to the family of Lamiaceae. The peppermint oil has high menthol content and has many useful targets in cardiovascular disorders, such as hypertension, coronary heart disease, etc.,\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000The objective of this review article is to investigate the antihypertrophic activity of Mentha x piperita which is not yet established\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000For manuscript preparation, we had used all accessible international databases, traditional books (Regular books in English), and electronic resources (Google Scholar, PubMed, Science Direct, Springer, Wiley, etc.,), unpublished data (thesis, R&D reports, and dissertations).\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000Menthol may activate Transient receptor potential cation channel subfamily M (melastatin) member 8 (TRMP8) channels resulting in increased cytosolic calcium concentration and vasorelaxation activity. Menthol is known to stimulate the elevation of TRPM8 protein in the endothelium, Vascular Smooth Muscle (VSM), and vascular afferent nerve strands, while obstructing VSM L-type Calcium Channels (LCC), contributing to both the cardiovascular and vasoactive properties of peppermint. In vivo experiments proved that glucagon plays a significant role in the preventive effect of menthol (as TRPM8 modulator) against a high-fat diet (HFD) induced weight gain and related complications.\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000Due to the efficacy of Menthol (Mentha x piperita) in its cardioprotective properties, understanding the actual mechanisms related to the efficacy of Menthol on CVD can be the subject of future studies.\u0000","PeriodicalId":56153,"journal":{"name":"Natural Products Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2022-04-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47124754","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
