Research progress on anti-inflammatory mechanism of Guava and its extracts
Inflammation is the body's defense mechanism,which can be divided into chronic and acute,and the research of anti-inflammatory drugs has been one of the hot spots in the medical field.At present,the main clinical drugs for the treatment of inflammation-related diseases are antibiotics,but long-term use not only damages organs but also produces drug resistance,and the efficacy of drugs is weakened.Guava and its extracts have potential anti-inflammatory effects,with little toxic side effects,and can regulate a variety of targets to bring comprehensive treatment,so by inhibiting the activation of transcription factors,cytokine secretion and other mechanisms of action,it has become a new strategy for the treatment of inflammatory diseases.In this paper,the anti-inflammatory mechanism of guava and its extracts in inflammatory diseases at home and abroad in recent years will be reviewed,and it will provide references for the clinical development of new adjuvant anti-inflammatory drugs with low side effects and drug resistance.
