Genetic Analysis of Cupressaceae phytochemicals in Various Diseases: A Review

Kanchan Suchdeva

Abstract


Family Cupressaceae of plants have various medicinal properties. In this family plants like Thuja, Juniper, Cupressus, False cypress etc. already have ornamental and medicinal values. These plants are already used for diseases like diabetes, obesity, neurodegenerative disorder etc. The plants of this family are uniquely known for its anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer, anti-oxidant and anti-microbial activities. In this study, we have predicted the genetic receptors for phytochemicals of Cupressaceae family. The function of these genes are also discussed in this review. The main aim of this review is to identify the major genes that are targeted by the phytochemicals of family Cupressaceae and their involvement in the treatment of various diseases. The future analysis of the plants could have showed good affinity towards most of the receptors involved in neuronal damage of diabetic patients and make them potentially promising drug candidate for the treatment of disease.
