Medicinal Uses of Maslinic Acid: A Review
Abstract
Maslinic Acid a characteristic compound of the triterpenoid bunch got from olive which forestalls the age of favorable to fiery cytokines and oxidative pressure, found in an assortment of common sources, going from home grown cures utilized in traditional medicine to consumable vegetables and organic products present in the Mediterranean eating routine. A few investigations have demonstrated that maslinic acid a wide scope of pharmacological effects such as Antimalarial Effect, Anti-Proliferative Activity, Antitumor Activity, Antifungal Activity, Antibacterial Activity, Anti-diabetic Effect, Antioxidant effect, Anti-inflammatory Activity, Cardio protective effect, Neuroprotection effect, Antiviral Activity, Antimicrobial Activity.
Keywords: Maslinic acid, Triterpene, edible source, Pharmacological Effects
