ABSTRACT

This is the era, which aggressively corroding the life style, mental ability, discretion, semblance of humans. Today every human being wants to post-pone his/her ageing and different theories have been given time to time for aging. Regarding this many products are present in market, synthetic as well as natural molecule. Now days it is recommended to highly involved in anti-aging properties of Pharmacophore/phytochemicals of natural origin. This is because these phytochemicals have less side effects comparison with synthetic one and more easily trustable to human beings. The researchers are efficiently involved in assaying anti-aging procedures with different animals using different photochemical as well as their extracts and also study done at molecular level. Most of the study concluded that the Pharmacophore which contain large numbers of –OH group (Polyphenols) have greater property of anti-aging than having less numbers of –OH groups.

Keywords: Ageing; anti-ageing, animal models, phramacophore; molecular ageing theory, phytochemicals.
