Evaluation Of Phytoconstituent And Pharmacological Properties Of Coriandrum Sativum (LINN)
Keywords:
Coriandrum sativum (Linn), Pharmacological properties of CS, CS. seeds, therapeutic properties of CS, Antioxidant properties, Anti-InflammatoryAbstract
Coriandrum sativum (L.), commonly known as coriander, is a widely used herb with significant culinary and medicinal applications. This study aimed to comprehensively evaluate the phytoconstituents and pharmacological properties of C. sativum. Various parts of the plant, including leaves, seeds, and roots, were subjected to phytochemical screening and extraction processes. The major bioactive compounds identified included flavonoids, phenolic acids, and essential oils. Pharmacological investigations revealed a broad spectrum of therapeutic potential, including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and hepatoprotective activities. The antioxidant properties were attributed to the presence of polyphenols and flavonoids, while the antimicrobial effects were linked to the essential oil components. Additionally, the study explored the plant's potential in managing diabetes and cardiovascular disorders. The findings suggest that C. sativum possesses diverse pharmacological properties, supporting its traditional medicinal uses and highlighting its potential for developing novel therapeutic agents. Further research is warranted to elucidate the mechanisms of action and to explore the clinical applications of these bioactive compounds.
