ABSTRACT
Biological activity of Moringa oleifera.Lam, having potential applications in medicines, attributed to the presence of Phenolics compounds, such as phenolic acids, flavonoids. Previous study showed the role of moringa powder as nutritional as value by providing reduced mortality rates and enhancement health for HIV-positive and Aids patients. Following the highest rate of flavonoids in Moringa, we argued a potential mechanism of flavonoids against Reverse transcriptase of HIV-1. And the evidence that flavonoids structure are best promising anti-HIV compounds.
