Therapeutic Potential and Pharmacological Activities of (+)-Nantenine in Medicine: An Aporphine Class phytocomponent of Nandina domestica Thunberg

Infect Disord Drug Targets. 2023 Oct 20. doi: 10.2174/0118715265244269231010090316. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTPlant material and their derived by products have been used in the medicine for the treatment of human disorders and complications. Plants give us a distinct class of natural compounds, commonly called secondary metabolites and better examples are the flavonoids, phenols, terpenoids, alkaloids, tannins, and carotenoids. Plant derived phytoproducts have been used for the treatment of human disorders in both traditional as well as modern medicine. Naturally occurring aporphines and their synthetic derivatives are well known in medicine for their pharmacological activities, including an affinity for dopaminergic, adrenergic and serotonergic receptors. (+)-- nantenine is an aporphine alkaloid isolated from Nandina domestica and other plants. The aim of the present study is to analyze the biological potential and therapeutic effectiveness of nantenine in medicine. In the present work scientific information of nantenine for their medicinal uses and pharmacological activities have been collected from scientific databases such as Google, Google Scholar, PubMed, Scopus, and Science Direct . Scientific information of nantenine was further analyzed to know their health beneficial aspects in medicine. However, the detail pharmacological activity of nantenine has been discussed in the present work with its analytical aspects. Scientific data analysis described the medicinal im...
