Cardioprotective potential of punicalagin: an evidence-based review.
This evidence-based review highlights the cardioprotective potential of punicalagin, a major polyphenolic ellagitannin from Punica granatum L., focusing on its pharmacological mechanisms in cardiovascular disease (CVD) pathogenesis. Preclinical studies demonstrate that punicalagin reduces oxidative stress via Nrf2/HO-1 and AMPK pathways, suppresses inflammatory cytokines (TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6) through NF-κB and MAPK inhibition, improves endothelial function by upregulating eNOS, and modulates lipid metabolism through ApoB100 binding and cholesterol efflux. Clinical trials further support these effects, showing improvements in lipid profile, blood pressure, and carotid intima-media thickness. Punicalagin's multitarget actions support its translational potential in the management of CVD.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Asian Natural Products Research (JANPR) publishes chemical and pharmaceutical studies in the English language in the field of natural product research on Asian ethnic medicine. The journal publishes work from scientists in Asian countries, e.g. China, Japan, Korea and India, including contributions from other countries concerning natural products of Asia. The journal is chemistry-orientated. Major fields covered are: isolation and structural elucidation of natural constituents (including those for non-medical uses), synthesis and transformation (including biosynthesis and biotransformation) of natural products, pharmacognosy, and allied topics. Biological evaluation of crude extracts are acceptable only as supporting data for pure isolates with well-characterized structures.
All published research articles in this journal have undergone rigorous peer review, based on initial editor screening and anonymized refereeing by at least two expert referees.
