Abstract

Phenolic molecules are secondary metabolites that facilitate several biological processes. Secondary metabolites are non-nutritive substances that hold significant medicinal value. Our study combined the biological activities, general features, daily usage conditions, and biosynthesis of luteolin as reported in the literature. The literature review revealed that luteolin exhibits biological activities including antioxidant, antibacterial, anticancer, and anti-inflammatory properties. It was observed that it exerts effects on illnesses including cardioprotection, cholesterol regulation, neuroprotection, autistic spectrum disorders, gastrointestinal issues, obesity, insulin sensitivity, anxiety/depression, and arthritis. In this regard, luteolin was identified as a significant molecule for pharmacological applications.

Keywords:

Phenolic compounds, antioxidant, anticancer, luteolin
