Therapeutic effectiveness of sinensetin against cancer and other human complications: A review of biological potential and pharmacological activities



Plant and their active phytoproducts have been used in modern medicine and playing an important role in the health sectors since a very early age. Human beings need a considerable amount of these plant-based phytochemicals for their health. The flavonoidal class phytochemical is an important class of natural products in modern healthcare because of their different pharmacological activities and health benefits. Flavonoidal class phytochemicals have been used to treat diabetes and related secondary complications in humans. Flavonoids have anti-apoptotic, anti-hyperlipidemic, anti-inflammatory, and anti-oxidant potential in the health sectors. Sinensetin, also called 3',4',5,6,7-pentametoksiflavon is a colorless compound with a molecular weight 372.37g/mol and is found to be present in the Orthosiphon stamineus.



In the present investigation, we aim to collect scientific information on sinensetin and analyze it for its biological potential and therapeutic benefits against various types of disorders and complications. Medicinal importance and pharmacological activities data have been collected and analyzed in the present work for sinensetin through literature data analysis of different research works. Google Science Direct, PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar were mainly searched to collect the scientific information in the present work. The present work analyzed sinensetin's biological potential, pharmacological activities, and analytical aspects.



Literature data analysis of different scientific research works revealed the biological potential of phytochemicals in medicine, including flavonoids. Sinensetin has anti-tumor, anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant, anti-diabetic, and antibacterial activities through their testing in different in vitro and in vivo models. Sinensetin has physiological functions, including anti-oxidant, anti-inflammation, and anti-cancer potential in medicine. Scientific data analysis signified the biological importance of sinensetin against tumors, gastric cancer, colorectal cancer, breast cancer, diabetes, influenza H1N1 infection, obesity, inflammation, colitis, brain disorders, and microbial infections. Further biological potential of sinensetin on enzymes and angiogenesis has been analyzed in the present work. Sinensetin was isolated through different analytical and extraction techniques, including chromatographic techniques.



Literature data analysis signified sinensetin’s biological potential and pharmacological activities in medicine.
