Bioactivities of Compounds
Primary metabolites
LIPIDS
Phospholipis
Anticancer properties and reduction of blood cholesterol. Its also prevention of infection. Normal its found in plasma membrane
Butyric acid
Anti-colon cancer properties and neoplastic agent. Its product of fiber fermentation.
Eicosaapentaenic acid(EPA)
Anticancer properties and reduce hypertension. EPA presents in cold fish like salmon
PROTEIN
Lectins
Antimicrobial,protective effect on oxidative DNA damage, cancer prevention and role in immune function. Major protein in lentils
Lactoferrin
Antimicrobial , antioxidative and immunomodulation,iron absorption,anticarcinogenic and lactoferroxins. Lactoferrin protein in milk
Glycinins
Glucinis presents in soyabean.
Anti-carcinogenic properties and reduces high plasma cholesterol level.
MINERALS
Selenium ( Se)
Perform biological function like thyroid,neural and immune functioand protection against oxidative stress and gastrointestinal disease.
zinc (Zn)
Perform biological functions like throid, neural and immune function and protection against oxidative stress and gastrointestinal disease.
Ferrum (Fe)
Participates in oxygen transport and storage, electron transfer and movement of oxygen from environment to body tissues
Secondary metabolites
TERPENES
Tetraterpenes
Anti-inflammatory, liver protection, anti-tumor, antimicrobial and immune regulation properties.Tetraterpenes extracted from Maytenus undata (Celastraceae)
Diterpenes
Antimicrobial, anticancer and antiinflammatory properties. Diterpenes from Taxus baccata
Monoterpenes
Antifungal, antidiarrheal, antirheumatic, and analgesic properties. Monoterpenes extracted from N.megapotamica
PHENOLICS
Coumarin
Coumarin has appetite-suppressing properties and anticoagulant to inhibit formation of blood clots. Anti-inflammatory, anti-tumor, antibacterial, and antifungal properties. Coumarin is found naturally in Dipteryx odorata
Flavonoids
Potential cytotoxicity and their capacity to interact with enzymes through protein complexation.
Flavonoids isolated from Zea mays
Tanins
Tannins enhance the antimicrobial properties
of sulfur dioxide inhibiting the growth of microorganisms
Tannins is extracted from (Schinopsis lorentzii).
NITROGEN
Alkaloids
Anticholinergic activity. Alkaloids are found primarily in plants.
Saponins
Anti-carcinogenic and immune-stimulatory properties. The major source is soybean and chickpea
Cyanogenic glucosides
Bored-spectrum defense .The major source is apples, apricots, cherries
