Multi-faceted role of the phytochemicals is mediated by its structure-function relationship and can be considered as leads forĬardiovascular drug design in future. TheĬardioprotective effects of the various phytochemicals are perhaps due to their antioxidative, antihypercholesteroemic, antiangiogenic,Īnti-ischemic, inhibition of platelet aggregation and anti inflammatory activities that reduce the risk of cardiovascular disorders. Obtained from terrestrial plants such as isoflavones, diosgenin, resveratrol, quercetin, catechin, sulforaphane, tocotrienols and carotenoidsĪre proven to reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases and aid in cardioprotection which is the leading cause of death globally. A number of bioactive compounds generally Polyphenols, flavonoids, steroidal saponins, organosulphur compounds and vitamins. The phytochemicals from natural products cover a diverse range of chemical entities such as Natural bioactive compounds found in vegetables, fruits, medicinal plants, aromatic plants, leaves, flowers and roots which act as aĭefense system to combat against diseases. Moreover,įrom ancient to modern history, many traditional plant based medicines are playing an important role in health care. For many decades, the use of synthetic chemicals as drugs has been effective in the treatment of most diseases.
