Lam. (), which belongs to the Moringaceae family, is a perennial deciduous tropical tree, and native to the south of the Himalayan Mountains in northern India. is rich in proteins, vitamin A, minerals, essential amino acids, antioxidants, and flavonoids, as well as isothiocyanates. The extracts from exhibit multiple nutraceutical or pharmacological functions including anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anti-cancer, hepatoprotective, neuroprotective, hypoglycemic, and blood lipid-reducing functions. The beneficial functions of are strongly associated with its phytochemicals such as flavonoids or isothiocyanates with bioactivity. In this review, we summarize the research progress related to the bioactivity and pharmacological mechanisms of in the prevention and treatment of a series of chronic diseases-including inflammatory diseases, neuro-dysfunctional diseases, diabetes, and cancers-which will provide a reference for its potential application in the prevention and treatment of chronic diseases or health promotion.
辣木（），属于辣木科，是一种多年生落叶热带乔木，原产于喜马拉雅山脉南部的印度北部。 富含蛋白质、维生素 A、矿物质、必需氨基酸、抗氧化剂和类黄酮，以及异硫氰酸盐。辣木的提取物具有多种营养或药理功能，包括抗炎、抗氧化、抗癌、保肝、神经保护、降血糖和降血脂功能。 的有益功能与其具有生物活性的植物化学物质（如类黄酮或异硫氰酸盐）密切相关。在本文中，我们总结了辣木在预防和治疗一系列慢性疾病（包括炎症性疾病、神经功能障碍性疾病、糖尿病和癌症）方面的生物活性和药理机制的研究进展，为其在预防和治疗慢性疾病或促进健康方面的潜在应用提供了参考。
