Chemical bioactivity of plant latex as an herbal panacea
Keywords:
Plant Latex, therapeutic uses, phytocomponents, plant defence, cytotoxicityAbstract
Traditionally, latex containing plant existence have been viewed as the economical and health promotional entity from natural origin. Preliminary chemical investigations are based on protein or peptide content; along with many other bioactive smaller molecules targeting the health promotion by the management of enlisted disorders in this manuscript. It has also been observed different important metabolites such as, terpenoids, cardenolides, alkaloids having prominent antibacterial, antifungal, anthelmintic, insect repellent and cytotoxic activities. Latexes include distinct phytocomponents that are dissimilar to those involved in their bearing plants. Surveying the viability of plant latex from kind of bioactive chemical resource, this review article covers the chemical depiction of plant latexes for the health benefits of mankind. Subsequently, the recounted persona of various scientific research on latex from different plant origins encouraged the review to explore more about the plant latexes by highlighting their pharmacological benefits for health management.
