Potential and Therapeutic Roles of Diosmin in Human Diseases

Biomedicines. 2022 May 6;10(5):1076. doi: 10.3390/biomedicines10051076.

Abstract

Because of their medicinal characteristics, effectiveness, and importance, plant-derived flavonoids have been a possible subject of research for many years, particularly in the last decade. Plants contain a huge number of flavonoids, and Diosmin, a flavone glycoside, is one of them. Numerous in-vitro and in-vivo studies have validated Diosmin's extensive range of biological capabilities which present antioxidative, antihyperglycemic, anti-inflammatory, antimutagenic, and antiulcer properties. We have presented this review work because of the greater biological properties and influences of Diosmin. We have provided a brief overview of Diosmin, its pharmacology, major biological properties, such as anti-cancer, anti-diabetic, antibacterial, anticardiovascular, liver protection, and neuroprotection, therapeutic approach, potential Diosmin targets, and pathways that are known to be associated with it.

Keywords: Diosmin; anti-cancer; anti-cardiovascular; anti-diabetic; anti-inflammatory; anti-oxidant; target pathways.
