Advances in Novel Drugs, Plants and Phytoconstituents proved for Antioxidant Activity - A Comprehensive Review

As awareness of health issues has grown, natural antioxidants are becoming more and more popular. These substances are in charge of preventing autoxidation processes in the food chain and lowering oxidative stress in the human body. Free radicals have been linked to a number of illnesses, such as cancer, diabetes, aging, and arthritis. Antioxidant treatment has become increasingly important in the treatment of diseases. The effects of antioxidants can be incalculable; they can boost the protective catalytic capacities of cells or hinder the organization of ROS or remove free radicals. Antioxidants N-acetylcysteine and vitamin C are effective in reducing diabetes entanglements, suggesting that both dietary supplements and the consumption of ordinary cell reinforcements may be beneficial. Numerous plants' antioxidant activity has attracted a lot of interest because of its possible health advantages in minimizing the risk of chronic diseases and avoiding oxidative stress. This study shows antioxidant properties of different plant extracts, focusing on their phenolic and flavonoid content, as well as their ability to scavenge free radicals. The current review indicates that plants like turmeric, neem, mint etc. will exhibit high antioxidant capacity, correlating with their phytochemical profiles. This emphasizes how crucial plant-based antioxidants are for proper nutrition and how they may be used therapeutically to stop oxidative damage. Crystallizing the data on antioxidant activity for different plants, synthetic chemicals, and novel medications is the goal of this review.
