Exploring the therapeutic potential of Resveratrol: A natural compound with multifaceted health benefits

Resveratrol is a polyphenol characterized as stilbenoids, also recognized as 3,5,4'-trihydroxy-trans-stilbene, with a chemical formula of C14H12O3 and a molecular weight of 228.25 g/mol. Two phenol rings linked together by an ethylene bridge define the structure. Plants such as grapes, plums, apples, peanuts and blue berries produce RSV. Renowned for its vast biological effects its significance on well-being of humans is noteworthy. This review was designed to organize a broad review on the various biological effects, prospective therapeutic applications of RSV by integrating various scientific investigations. Various databases comprising Google Scholar, PubMed, Science Direct etc. with specific keywords combined with RSV were expended to assemble data and the gathered information were summarized. RSV validated strong antioxidant qualities and influences various molecular pathways such as NF-kB, MAPK, AMPK and SIRT-1. Based on the current knowledge, it is reasonable to express that RSV displays significant potential for treating cancer, cardiovascular, obesity, neurodegenerative, inflammatory and age-related diseases. It is imperative to focus on in-depth research to utilize the properties of RSV and promote the development of phytopharmaceuticals for effective therapies.
