Natural bioeffective cyclooligopeptides from plant seeds of Annona genus

The Annona L. is one of the most significant genus of the Annonaceae family due to its widespread medicinal properties. This genus has a variety of active metabolites, including Alkaloids, isoquinolines, Peptides, acetogenins, lectins, volatile oils etc. Due to the constitution of Cyclopeptides with an expanded spectrum of distinctive bioproperties, this genus is predominantly preferred over Other species. The cytotoxicity, vasorelaxant activity, anti-inflammatory and Other properties exhibited by cyclooligopeptides from seeds of Annona genus Plants make these metabolites attractive leads for the drug discovery process. The present review covers the structural characteristics, structure activity relationship, synthesis strategies, pharmacological properties of plant seeds-originated bioactive Peptides from Annona genus, which may be vital for the development of novel therapeutics based on peptide skeleton.
