Many rural or indigenous people in many undeveloped nations place a high importance on traditional herbal remedies. Andrographis paniculata Wall (family Acanthaceae) is a common medicinal plant that has been used for millennia in Asia, America, and Africa to treat a variety of maladies including cancer, diabetes, high blood pressure, ulcer, leprosy, bronchitis, skin diseases, flatulence, colic, influenza, dysentery, dyspepsia, and malaria. It contains several photochemical compounds that have distinct and intriguing biological effects. To bridge the gap for future research prospects, this study discusses the past and present state of research on Andrographis paniculata in terms of medicinal usage, phytochemistry, pharmacological activities, toxicity profile, and therapeutic usage. This assessment is based on a review of the literature in scientific journals and books obtained from libraries and electronic sources. Natural therapeutic properties are just one benefit of medicinal plants; they also provide disease prevention. In this concise overview study research, we are trying to summarize, aggregate the number of plants, and identify their ethnopharmacological properties.","PeriodicalId":8550,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Research in Chemistry","volume":"6 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140438498","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}

More than five million Americans are living with Alzheimer's disease in the United States, with the majority being 65 and older. According to the Alzheimer's Association Report, the number of persons affected by Alzheimer's disease in the United States would rise to fourteen million by 2060. The disease, which is the most prevalent form of dementia, is a progressive and irreversible brain disorder that gradually deteriorates an individual's cognitive function. It advances from preclinical to early- to moderate- to late-stage disease. Early symptoms primarily include cognitive impairment, particularly memory loss. Current Alzheimer's disease treatment can be divided into two categories based on the disease's stage. Galantamine, rivastigmine, and donepezil as acetylcholinesterase inhibitors are suitable for mild to moderate cases to provide transient symptomatic relief among patients. Memantine, an N-methyl D-aspartate (NMDA) antagonist, is used as monotherapy to treat symptoms of moderate to severe Alzheimer's disease. These medications are typically selective molecules that target certain proteins (\"one compound-one target\" method), and their main goal is to restore physiological acetylcholine levels. Nonetheless, multiple pathways of Alzheimer's disease pathogenesis have been hypothesized to far, and they have been proven to overlap and influence one another.","PeriodicalId":8550,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Research in Chemistry","volume":"18 9","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140440376","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}

Additionally, their research is still ongoing today. It is crucial to note that natural substances are used both as adjuvants and chemotherapeutic agents in the treatment of cancer. By summarizing the three aspects of natural compounds' anticancer activity, this review offers a fresh perspective on their use in the field of oncology. Chemotherapeutic drugs because of their inherent antitumor effects, chemopreventive drugs, and sensitizers for multi-drug resistance are the first three categories. Numerous active agents are undergoing preclinical and clinical trials right now. It is crucial to draw attention to the important advancements that have been made in this field of study, with some secondary plant metabolites already in use in medicine and others being tested in human clinical trials as anticancer agents. Phytochemicals have numerous positive effects on human health and are crucial in preventing the development and spread of cancer. Through a diet high in fruits and vegetables, as well as with the aid of highly-standardized supplements containing the active compounds, one may achieve the ideal intake of natural chemopreventive agents.","PeriodicalId":8550,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Research in Chemistry","volume":"19 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140439489","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}
