Pharmacological Properties

1. Anti-inflammatory Properties:
Hesperidin has been shown to have potent anti-inflammatory properties. It has been found to suppress the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines, which are molecules that are involved in the inflammatory response. Hesperidin has also been shown to inhibit the activity of enzymes that are involved in the production of prostaglandins and leukotrienes, which are both known to contribute to the inflammatory process. This makes hesperidin a potential candidate for treating chronic inflammatory diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis.

2. Antioxidant Properties:
Hesperidin is a potent antioxidant, which means it can neutralize free radicals and protect cells from oxidative damage. Free radicals are unstable molecules that can cause cellular damage and contribute to the development of chronic diseases such as cancer and cardiovascular disease. Hesperidin has been shown to scavenge free radicals and prevent lipid peroxidation, a process that damages cell membranes. This makes hesperidin a potential candidate for preventing and treating oxidative stress-related diseases.

3. Anti-Cancer Properties:
Several studies have shown that hesperidin has anti-cancer properties. It has been found to inhibit the growth of cancer cells and induce cell death in various types of cancer, including breast, colon, liver, and lung cancer. Hesperidin has also been shown to inhibit angiogenesis, which is the process of new blood vessel formation that is essential for tumor growth and metastasis. This makes hesperidin a potential candidate for the prevention and treatment of cancer.
