A Research On Phytochemical And Antimicrobial Investigation Of Euryale Ferox Seeds

Abstract

 Euryale ferox, sometimes called makhana or fox nut, is a native Asian plant that is mostly found in China, Japan, and India. It has long been a part of Ayurvedic and Traditional Chinese medicine formulations for a variety of ailments. The intention of this study is to assess Euryale ferox's phytochemical composition and antibacterial properties. Numerous bioactive substances, including flavonoids, alkaloids, saponins, tannins, and phenolic compounds, were found, according to phytochemical study. The efficacy of Euryale ferox extracts against a variety of microbiological strains was also assessed by antimicrobial assays. Euryale ferox may be worth investigating further in the pharmaceutical and nutraceutical industries, as the results indicate that it has strong antibacterial action. Euryale ferox possesses a broad spectrum of biological activity in terms of pharmacology, such as immunomodulatory, antioxidant, hepatoprotective, neuroprotective, cardioprotective, and anticancer properties. Its wide range of phytochemicals, including phenolics, polysaccharides, flavonoids, alkaloids, and fatty acids, have been linked to these actions. The capacity of Euryale ferox to scavenge free radicals and suppress lipid peroxidation has been associated with its antioxidant qualities, which help to mitigate illnesses associated with oxidative stress. Its promise for the treatment of inflammatory disorders stems from the modulation of many inflammatory mediators and pathways, which has been shown to have anti-inflammatory effects.
