Title
The Presence of Bioactive Compounds in Plants of the Amaranthaceae Family and Their Use in Medicine: A Review
Abstract
Various plants have been used in traditional medicine for thousands
of years as natural medicines with therapeutic and other pharmacologic
effects. Bioactive compounds found in plants, such as flavonoids, trace minerals,
essential oils, phenols, glycosides, alkaloids, and tannins, can affect
microbial growth, reproduction, and essential cell functions. Plants of the
Amaranthaceae family have a broad range of bioactive phytochemical
constituents, which provide a variety of medicinal benefits. This review article
discusses the characteristics of Amaranthaceae plants that may indicate their
use as medicinal plants, especially against infectious diseases. According to the
literature, Amaranthaceae plants contain considerable levels of bioactive
compounds that make them effective in traditional medicine, even though their
impact on numerous microbes has yet to be examined.
