ABSTRACT

Moringa (Mo) is used as traditional medicine in different parts of the world. This work aims to treat by theoretical means and using quantum chemistry to show if the main components of this plant work as it has been tried to study. The main capacity of the Mo is that it works as an anti-inflammatory, being effective for the treatment of diabetes, arthritis and other diseases in muscles and bones. In the last two decades, many reports have appeared in leading scientific journals that describe their nutritional and medicinal properties. The aim of this study is to separate the scientific evidence from the anecdotes found in different articles, whether they are scientific or not. There is not enough information to support the qualities described by the majority of the population. The parts of the leaves were tested for pharmacological activities, namely, antioxidants, antimicrobials, antidiabetics, hypertension, anticancer, anti-inflammatory and others.

Keywords: Moringa, DNA, RNA, Quantum chemistry.
