Abstract:
Background: Plant-derived bioactive molecules have been a major source of therapeutic agents
for human and veterinarian purposes. Different traditional medicine system across the globe had relied on
natural resources to meet their demand of healthcare. Still in modern world, pharmaceutical industries look
for phytochemicals to develop new drugs. The current review explores patuletin, a flavonoid for its diverse
reported pharmacological activities along with its analytical techniques.
Methods: Scientific data published on patuletin was collected from Scopus, Science Direct, Pubmed,
Google, and Google Scholar. The collected data were analyzed and arranged as per specific pharmacological
activities performed using in-vitro or in-vivo methods. Analytical methods of patuletin have been presented
next to pharmacological activities
Results: Available scientific literature indicates patuletin has anti-inflammatory, cytotoxic, genotoxic, hepatoprotective,
antiproliferative, antiplatelet, antinociceptive, and antioxidant activity. In addition to these activities,
its biological potential on breast cancer, rheumatoid arthritis, aldose reductase, and different types
of microorganisms has been also presented in this work. Analytical data on patuletin signified the importance
of patuletin for the standardization of herbal products and derived medicine.
Conclusion: It may be concluded that patuletin with its diverse biological activities and readily available
analytical methods, holds the potential to be translated into a new drug entity.
