ABSTRACT

Often present in plants, myricetin is a flavonoid valued for its nutraceutical properties. It is an essential nutrient that helps to maintain excellent health and offers immune protection in the diet. Fruits, vegetables, tea, and wine all contain it. The families with the highest concentrations of myricetin include the Polygonaceae, Myricaceae, Primulaceae, Pinaceae, and Anacardiaceae. Myricetin demonstrates an extensive array of biological functions. It was proven to have antioxidant and antibacterial properties. Its neuroprotective activity, which has demonstrated preclinical effects on Huntington's, Parkinson's, and Alzheimer's illnesses as well as in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, is one of its advantageous biological effects. Myricetin has also been shown to have additional biological effects, including antihypertensive, immunomodulatory, antidiabetic, anticancer, and cardiovascular effects. Myricetin hasn't, however, been the subject of many clinical research as a nutraceutical. Therefore, additional study is required to completely comprehend its possible therapeutic uses. Not to mention, myricetin has demonstrated potential in the prevention and treatment of cancer. Keywords: Myrecitin; Flavonoid; Anti-oxidant; Anti-cancer; Immunomodulator; Anti-diabetic
