EXPLORING THE THERAPEUTIC POTENTIAL OF PLANT-BASED PEPTIDES IN HUMAN DISEASE MANAGEMENT
Siddhi Jain, M. Asimuddin, Mohammed Al Saiqali and Kaiser Jamil*
ABSTRACT
In recent years, there has been a burgeoning interest in harnessing the therapeutic potential of plant-based peptides for the treatment of various human diseases. Peptides, short chains of amino acids, are integral components of living organisms, playing critical roles in biological processes such as cell signalling, immune response modulation, and enzymatic activity regulation. While traditionally the focus has been on animal-derived peptides, attention has shifted towards exploring the vast repertoire of bioactive peptides derived from plants. Plants are rich sources of diverse bioactive compounds, including peptides, which have demonstrated promising pharmacological properties. These plant-derived peptides exhibit a wide range of bioactivities, including antioxidant, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and anticancer effects. Moreover, they often possess favourable safety profiles and are more cost-effective to produce compared to peptides derived from animal sources. The aim of this Keywords: Plant based peptides, therapeutical potential, biological activity, antimicrobial resistance. [Download Article] [Download Certifiate] |
