Bioactive metabolites anti-inflammatory activity

Polyphenols are considered secondary metabolites of plants involved in the chemical defense of plants against predators and in plant-plant interactions. Polyphenols are found in virtually all families of plants, and comprise up to 50% of the dry weight of leaves. The main activity related to phenolic compounds is antioxidant activity. In addition to their strong antioxidant activities, plant polyphenols are known to possess other activities including antibacterial, chemopreventive, UV-protective, anticancer, and anti-inflammatory effects, act as detoxifying agents against heavy metals, and have myriad other bioactivities that could potentially be exploited for application in functional foods. ... [Pg.193]
