Bioactive peptides from plants: A promising Area of therapeutics

Abstract

Bioactive peptides play an important role as a source of therapeutic drugs. Peptides are found from both food and plant sources. This review article focused on the plant source of bioactive peptide. The objective of this research was to find out different therapeutic activity of bioactive peptides isolated from plant source. Methodology of this review article was literature review from different authentic sources of journals. Bioactive peptides from plants have some important therapeutic activity such as;anticancer,antitumor,antimicrobial etc. The rationale of this research is to establish peptides from plant source which can be a promising area of therapeutics in near future. The purpose of the study was to find an alternative source of drugs which will help to reduce the resistance problems of many drugs, especially antimicrobial resistant. Bioactive peptide has a wide range of antimicrobial activity. Additionally this will not cause antimicrobial resistance. The result of the study is that bioactive peptide from plant can be a promising area of therapeutics. This source can be used to develop different therapeutics drugs along with antimicrobial drugs which is a burning question of now a days.
