ABSTRACT

Many traditional medicinal plants contain vicenin-2, which has been shown to have therapeutic properties. Vicenin-2 (apigenin-8-C-glucoside) has recently grown a lot of interest because of its diverse array of pharmacological actions, which include anti-oxidant, anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory, anti-hyperalgesic, and neuro-protective benefits, to highlight a few. Vicenin-2 has been recommended as a viable substitute therapy for a variety of disorders, as well as adjuvants for health supplements, according to recent research. This review compiled recent discoveries on vicenin-2's pharmacological actions and associated signalling pathways to serve as a resource for future research and therapeutic applications.[2]
