Utilization of Phytochemicals as Nutraceutical in the Prophylaxis of Dengue

  • Published:
Pharmaceutical Chemistry Journal Aims and scope

Every year, during the monsoon season, dengue, an infectious disease transmitted by the Aedes aegypti mosquito and caused by the dengue virus, occurs. The frequency and prevalence of dengue fever, as well as deaths from its consequences, have increased dramatically in recent years. Despite the fact that the infection has affected a large number of people worldwide, no specific and efficient drug treatment is known. Researchers are working tirelessly to find a cure, focusing their efforts on developing therapeutic treatments that block or inhibit the activity of specific Dengue virus (DENV) proteins. This review focuses on the phytochemical constituents present in traditionally used natural remedies for the treatment of dengue such as papaya leaf extract, goat milk, kiwi fruit, dragon fruit, and coconut water. Undoubtedly, the contents of this review will motivate researchers to do more novel work in this area which will accelerate the journey towards the exploration of the pharmacological activity of natural compounds.
