Plant extract monomers refer to individual chemical components contained in plant extracts. Plant extracts often contain a variety of chemical components, some of which have specific biological activities. Through isolation and purification, single chemical components, namely plant extract monomers, can be obtained from plant extracts.
Plant extract monomers have the following characteristics:
The structure is simple and easy to characterize and analyze.
The biological activity is clear and can be used to study the pharmacological effects of plant extracts.
Can be used to develop new drugs or functional foods.
Plant extract monomers have broad application prospects. In the pharmaceutical field, plant extract monomers can be used to develop new therapeutic drugs or to improve the efficacy of existing drugs. In the food field, plant extract monomers can be used to develop new functional foods, such as health products, nutritional supplements, etc.
Common plant extract monomers include:
Flavonoids: have antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial and other effects.
Polyphenols: have antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-tumor and other effects.
Alkaloid compounds: have sedative, analgesic, antibacterial and other effects.
Terpenoids: have antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, anti-tumor and other effects.
