AU - Douglas Vieira, Thomaz JO - Global Drugs and Therapeutics PY - 2020 DA - Fri 20, Mar 2020 SN - 2733-256X DO - http://dx.doi.org/10.31487/j.GDT.2020.01.04 UR - https://www.sciencerepository.org/how-phytocomponents-may-be-valuable_GDT-2020-1-104 KW - Antioxidants, polyphenols, brain tissue injury, herbal, folk medicine AB - This short commentary is intended to briefly discuss the benefits of plant secondary metabolites against brain tissue injury promoted by oxidative stress. Henceforth, the physicochemical features and biological activities of phytocomponents were assessed based on literature reports, which showcased their thermodynamic feasibility to reduce reactive oxygen species. It was strongly hinted that secondary metabolites possessing antioxidant potential may be of use in the therapeutics against neurodegenerative disorders owing to free radical scavenging, what hinders further damage to brain tissue.
