Bioactive Polyphenolic Compounds and In Vitro Anti-degenerative Property-based Pharmacological Propensities of Some Promising Germplasms of Amaranthus hypochondriacus L.

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Amaranth is conventionally consumed as a significant source of nutrients and bioactive compounds and is a potential alternate crop. The present study aimed to validate the folklore and ethnomedicinal claims regarding the utilization of foliar tissues of the pseudocereal Amaranthus hypochondriacus L. for their pharmacological propensities, primarily focusing on bioactive polyphenolic compounds and associated anti-degenerative properties, in view of the scarce evidence available on the same.
