Abstract
All forms of life contain natural compounds, each of which has a unique structure and can be found in a variety of forms. Tannins, anthocyanins, and alkaloids are only some of the metabolites that function as a defence mechanism in living organisms. These metabolites are obviously molecules that are of interest to the food, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical sectors. Plants, microbes, and insects are all examples of suppliers of biomolecules that have a wide range of actions, yet in many cases, these biomolecules have not been thoroughly investigated. In order to make use of these molecules for a variety of purposes, it is necessary to have a solid understanding of their structure, concentrations, and the potential for biological activity. Since the 1950s, in vitro techniques have been developed that measure the biological activity of the molecules of interest without the presence of the molecules themselves. As of right now, a variety of strategies have arisen in order to overcome some of the restrictions that these old procedures have, primarily through reductions in the amount of time and money required. The purpose of this study is to provide an overview of the interactions between herbal drugs that have been used for the treatment of blood coagulation, as well as the effect of herbal pharmaceuticals on anticoagulant therapy in secondary metabolites composed of medicinal plants. This review is comprised of multiple papers. It has been demonstrated that tridax procumbent possesses a multitude of active constitutions that have therapeutic value and are a significant source of anticoagulant treatment. The urgent requirement to expand the capacity for analysis of an increasing number of biomolecules that have been reported is the driving force behind the continued appearance of these developing technologies. Inflammation is a pathologic condition that encompasses a wide variety of diseases, including rheumatic and immune-mediated ailments, diabetes, cardiovascular accidents, and a variety of other conditions.
