Phytochemical Profile of Avicennia marina from DifferentPlant Parts and Its potential in improving lipid profile: A Narrative Review

Abstract

Hyperlipidemia is a major risk factor for cardiovascular diseases and is a leading cause of mortality worldwide. The limitations of conventional therapies have encouraged the search for safer, natural alternatives. Avicennia marina, a mangrove species widely distributed in tropical regions, is known for its diverse phytochemical composition and potential as an antihyperlipidemic agent. This review aims to analyze the phytochemical profile of A. marina across different plant parts and its association with lipid profile improvements. A narrative review was conducted using literature from PubMed, Scopus, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar, focusing on the relationship between bioactive compounds and lipid-regulating mechanisms.

This review highlights the link between plant-part-specific phytochemical distribution and lipid-lowering mechanisms, which remains underexplored, supporting Avicennia marina as a promising natural approach for hyperlipidemia management, pending clinical validation.
