Abstract |
Anthocyanins belong to the flavonoids class of polyphenols and they are water soluble dark colored natural pigments from fruits and vegetables. Dietary consumption of anthocyanins is high compared to other flavonoids, owing to their wide distribution in plant materials. Anthocyanins are the active component in several herbal folk medicines due to its multifaceted medicinal properties. This review discusses the anthocyanins as multitarget drugs, which posses antioxidant, antidiabetic, antihyperlipidemic, anti inflammatory, anticarcinogenic, antiulcer, cardioprotective, hepatoprotective, neuroprotective role. Several chemotherapeutic activities were observed in vitro and in vivo experimentation on cell-line studies, animal models, and clinical trials. This property of anthocyanins could be promising in providing health benefits against chronic diseases. |
