Abstract

Ricinus communis is a traditional herbal remedy that has been used for ages to treat a wide range of illnesses. Summarizing Ricinus communis therapeutic qualities, potential use as a herbal remedy, and pharmacovigilance evaluation are the objective of this study examines the potential cardioprotective effects of extract from the leaves of Ricinus communis, or castor beans. The study investigates this plant's potential to fight oxidative stress, which is a major contributor to the emergence of cardiovascular illnesses. Using solvents such as ethanol, hexane, and distilled water, Ricinus communis, which is recognized for its diverse medicinal characteristics, was submitted to phytochemical analysis and extraction procedures. DPPH radical scavenging activity was one of the techniques used to assess the extracts' antioxidant potential. In order to evaluate the cardioprotective effects, the study used an experimental design with Wistar rats and metrics such as oxidative stress markers and haematological analysis. The findings suggested that the Ricinus communis leaf extract may be useful in preventing or lessening cardiovascular damage because of its strong antioxidant and cardioprotective qualities. The plant's therapeutic qualities are attributed to a variety of phytochemical components, such as glucosides, alkaloids, steroids, saponins, and flavonoids. study highlights include antioxidant activity, anti-inflammatory, and anti-diabetic effects of the plant. It also talks about how the plant may be used to treat illnesses like liver damage, and insecticidal properties. Ricinus communis is a highly advantageous medicinal plant that has been used for millennia to cure a variety of disorders, according to the study overall conclusion.
