It is a polyphenolic constituent which is broadly distributed in plant kingdom and tea, legumes and rubeaceous plants are rich sources of it. Various research groups have extracted and isolated it by using different analytical techniques due to its diverse pharmacological profile. It is evident in nature that catechin possesses promising anti-inflammatory, neuroprotective, antioxidant, antibacterial, anticancer and anti-viral properties. There are several formulations reported which are intended for multiple uses where catechins are important ingredient. This review discusses the various analytical techniques employed for the extraction and isolation of catechins from various sources, as well as a summary of various reported formulations. The authors also discuss the various pharmacological activities exhibited by catechins, along with the significant outcomes and plausible mode of action. In addition, the review provides an insight into various synthetic and biosynthetic procedures for catechins, along with a description of various clinical trials and patents. In the lateral sections of this compilation, an insight to various synthetic/biosynthetic procedures for catechins has been provided along with description to various clinical trials and patents. Although a lot of progress has been made towards exploration of catechins, still these are associated with some issues of bioavailability and unclear modes of action, which need to be resolved in upcoming times. This review is more comprehensive on catechins, as it covers a wider range of topic includings; analytical techniques for the extraction and isolations of catechins, formulations containing catechins, pharmacological activities, synthetic and biosynthetic procedure, clinical trials as well as patents. The review also provide a more in-depth discussion of the pharmacological activities of catechins, including the significant outcomes and plausible mode of action. The article also highlights the need for the further research to address the issues of bioavailability and unclear modes of action associated with the catechin. This is an important area of research, as it is essential to understand the ADME to develop effective catechin-based therapies.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":733,"journal":{"name":"Phytochemistry Reviews","volume":"23 5","pages":"1557 - 1598"},"PeriodicalIF":7.3,"publicationDate":"2024-03-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140097327","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Its main source is the seeds of <i>Psoralea corylifolia,</i> a medicinal plant native to Asia, despite having a wide geographical distribution. However, this medicinal herb faces endangerment due to low seed germination rates and high seedling mortality. In this context, this review article highlights studies that have focused on describing plant regeneration from root fragments. Subsequently, given its morphological similarity to other species, a technique that can be used to verify the authenticity of the plant and prevent counterfeiting is also mentioned and explored. Additionally, a “green” extraction method for obtaining bakuchiol is presented, and the possibility of obtaining bakuchiol through chemical synthesis routes is also explored. Furthermore, we provide an exhaustive description of bakuchiol's wide range of biological activities, with particular relevance to the skin. The main skin bioactivities of bakuchiol include antifungal, antibacterial, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antiaging, depigmenting, and anticancer. However, the particular physicochemical properties of bakuchiol require and benefit from the development of innovative skin delivery systems that allow its encapsulation. These include micro- and nano-sized systems for therapeutic and cosmetic applications, which are also carefully described in this review article. Finally, regulatory issues, metabolic considerations, and toxicological concerns related to the use of bakuchiol in cosmetic and dermopharmaceutical formulations will be addressed, relating not only to the user but also to the environment.</p><h3>Graphical abstract</h3>\u0000<div><figure><div><div><picture><source><img></source></picture></div></div></figure></div></div>","PeriodicalId":733,"journal":{"name":"Phytochemistry Reviews","volume":"23 5","pages":"1377 - 1413"},"PeriodicalIF":7.3,"publicationDate":"2024-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s11101-024-09926-y.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140010652","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Emerging evidence suggests that the hallmark of MS lies in alterations in the composition of the gut microbiota and its metabolites. These alterations traverse a compromised intestinal barrier, exerting an impact on various metabolic organs, thereby precipitating the onset of MS. In recent years, the rapid advancement of sequencing methodologies, bioinformatics, and metagenomic technologies has rendered the exploration of the composition and functionality of the gut microbiota feasible. The manipulation of the gut microbiota is now considered a highly promising novel strategy for the treatment of MS. Ginsenosides, serving as the principal bioactive constituents of the esteemed herb ginseng, have been unequivocally validated to possess a diverse array of pharmacological activities, encompassing anti-inflammatory, antidiabetic, and cardiovascular protective properties. Nevertheless, the intricacies of the therapeutic mechanisms underlying ginsenosides in the treatment of MS remain unclear, owing to the challenge posed by their inherently low absorption rates. Recent studies indicate that when ginsenosides enters the gastrointestinal tract, ginsenosides can interact with the gut microbiota. The gut microbiota may represent a potential mechanism for the therapeutic effects of ginsenosides in treating MS. Based on this, this review aims to summarize the latest research progress of ginsenosides targeting the gut microbiota and its metabolites for the treatment of MS, and provide evidence to confirm that ginsenosides have the potential to become modulators of gut microbiota for the treatment of MS.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":733,"journal":{"name":"Phytochemistry Reviews","volume":"23 4","pages":"1247 - 1269"},"PeriodicalIF":7.3,"publicationDate":"2024-02-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139769865","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
