Ethnomedicinal, Phytochemistry and Antiviral Potential of Turmeric (Curcuma longa)

Turmeric (Curcuma longa) has been a famous root crop for its medicinal properties since pre-historical times. Lack of effective therapeutics most viral diseases, higher cost some antiviral therapies, and the emergence drug resistance are increasingly reported. Drug is predicted to be leading cause mortality globally by 2050, thus requiring intervention. The need natural compounds mitigate such as curcumin, calls further studies. Curcumin, primary curcuminoid compound, demonstrated broad activity an agent. Due overcome chemically synthesised drugs, best option improve adapt use agents. potential curcumin hindered solubility bioavailability. Recently, different techniques, preparation carbon quantum dots, have used activity. Therefore, current review aims assess curcumin’s benefits agent techniques Future will aid in mitigating including resistant strain, hence sustainability entire community. In this case, research innovation required bioavailability medical uses.
