Research Progress on the Natural Products in the Intervention of Myocardial Infarction

The document reviews the potential of natural products and medicinal plants in treating myocardial infarction (MI), emphasizing their ability to target multiple pathways involved in MI, such as oxidative stress, inflammation, and apoptosis. Compounds like Quercetin, Diosmetin, Astragaloside IV, Curcumin, and Ovothiol-A have shown promise in protecting heart cells and reducing myocardial injury in animal models. The review highlights the need for more research into these natural therapies, which have demonstrated good therapeutic potential and tolerance. However, it notes that while many natural products have been used to treat MI, randomized controlled trials are limited, and further clinical studies are necessary to confirm their efficacy and safety in humans.
