Abstract

Worldwide, since ages and nowadays, traditional medicine is well known, owing to its biodiversity, which immensely contributed to the advancement and development of complementary and alternative medicines. There is a wide range of spices, herbs, and trees known for their medicinal uses. Chilli peppers, a vegetable cum spice crop, are bestowed with natural bioactive compounds, flavonoids, capsaicinoids, phytochemicals, phytonutrients, and pharmacologically active compounds with potential health benefits. Such compounds manifest their functionality over solo-treatment by operating in synergy and consortium. Co-action of these compounds and nutrients make them potentially effective against coagulation, obesity, diabetes, inflammation, dreadful diseases, such as cancer, and microbial diseases, alongside having good anti-oxidants with scavenging ability to free radicals and oxygen. In recent times, capsaicinoids especially capsaicin can ameliorate important viral diseases, such as SARS-CoV-2. In addition, capsaicin provides an ability to chilli peppers to ramify as topical agents in pain-relief and also benefitting man as a potential effective anesthetic agent. Such phytochemicals involved not only make them useful and a much economical substitute to wonder/artificial drugs but can be exploited as obscene drugs for the production of novel stuffs. The responsibility of the TRPV1 receptor in association with capsaicin in mitigating chronic diseases has also been justified in this study. Nonetheless, medicinal studies pertaining to consumption of chilli peppers are limited and demand confirmation of the findings from animal studies. In this artifact, an effort has been made to address in an accessible format the nutritional and biomedical perspectives of chilli pepper, which could precisely upgrade and enrich our pharmaceutical industries towards human well-being.

摘要

在全球范围内,自古以来,传统医学因其生物多样性而广为人知,这极大地促进了补充和替代医学的发展。有许多种香料、草药和树木因其药用价值而闻名。辣椒,一种既是蔬菜又是香料的作物,富含天然生物活性化合物、类黄酮、辣椒素、植物化学物质、植物营养素和具有潜在健康益处的药理活性化合物。这些化合物通过协同作用发挥其功能,而不是单独发挥作用。这些化合物和营养素的共同作用使它们有可能对抗凝血、肥胖、糖尿病、炎症、可怕的疾病(如癌症)和微生物疾病,同时具有良好的抗氧化能力,能够清除自由基和氧气。最近,辣椒素特别是辣椒素可以改善重要的病毒性疾病,如 SARS-CoV-2。此外,辣椒素赋予辣椒作为局部止痛剂的能力,也使人类作为一种潜在有效的麻醉剂受益。这些参与的植物化学物质不仅使它们成为有用的、更经济的替代药物,而且可以作为非法药物的替代品,用于生产新型物质。本研究还证明了 TRPV1 受体与辣椒素在减轻慢性疾病方面的作用。然而,关于食用辣椒的医学研究是有限的,需要对动物研究的结果进行确认。在这篇文章中,我们努力以一种易于理解的格式介绍辣椒的营养和生物医学方面的内容,这将有助于提高我们的制药行业,造福人类健康。
