Historical Background of Moringa oleifera:

Moringa oleifera, previously referred to as “Nabidae,” is an African word meaning "the one that never dies". It was found in the northern part of India in the year 2000 BC. Indian doctors discovered the efficiency and effectiveness of the Moringa oleifera plant, which led them to name it "the miracle tree". When the royal family consumed this plant, it became an integral and essential component of the traditional, age-old medicine of Ayurveda¹². During the ancient era, it was believed that medicinal plants provided essential strength and energy to soldiers on the war front, even used to give relief from stress and injuries during wartime⁷. It was valuable to Egyptians to use oil extracted from the Moringa oleifera plant instead of sunscreen. Greeks in Europe discovered several properties of Moringa and expanded their knowledge in various countries. There are various kinds of Moringa oleifera plants, the most studied of which belongs to South Asia, and people have eaten this plant for centuries¹³. Moringa oleifera is a commonly acknowledged plant in Africa, used to treat several illnesses ranging from tumors to dental pain. Moringa oleifera belongs to the Marantaceae family. There are approximately 33 known species, such as M. Arborea and M. Boreziana, M. Concanensis, M. Douhardi M Hilderandtii, M. Longituba, M. Oleifera, M. Ovalifolia, M. Peregrina, M. Pygmaea, M.

Pharmacological Activities:

Anti haemorrhage Activity:

Moringa oleifera extract successfully stopped bleeding, while Derek Aekthammarat's research demonstrated that an 800 mg/kg ethanol extract significantly reduced bleeding caused by Echis ocellatus venom. The extract's hemostatic efficacy was further increased by pre-incubating it with the venom^26,27.

Anti-allergenic Activity:

Rani et al. identified nine active chemicals from 80% ethanolic extracts of Moringa oleifera, which can suppress both early and late allergic reactions (25-29). Leaf extracts outperformed ketotifen in suppressing β-hexosaminidase (IC₅₀ 7.17µg/mL) and IL-4 (IC₅₀ 2.32 µg/mL). At 5.97µg/mL, seed extracts showed greater histamine inhibition^28-30. In the early stages of allergies, glucomoringin significantly inhibits β-hexosaminidase (IC₅₀ 7.77µg/mL), and in the latter stages, it is most successful in lowering TNF-α release. In contrast to other isolated substances, β-sitosterol-3-O-glucoside exhibits greater inhibition of IL-4 throughout the final allergic stage^31,32.

Anti-Microbial Activity:

Moringa oleifera exhibits significant antibacterial action; aqueous pulp extract was most effective against S. aureus, while 80% methanolic leaf, pulp, and seed extracts showed considerable inhibition against E. coli. 70–80% methanolic floral extracts showed comparable antimicrobial properties. Abadallah and Ali also noted that, particularly against Shigella spp., ethanolic pulp extracts generated greater inhibition zones and lower MICs than aqueous extracts^33-35.

Anthelminthic Activity:

Anthelmintic drugs are of relevance because parasitic worm infestations provide serious health and financial implications^36,37. Moringa oleifera seed oil exhibited potent anthelmintic activity against earthworms, resulting in paralysis at 21 and 16 minutes and death at 30 and 24 minutes, respectively, at doses of 25 and 50 mg/mL. Confirming its strong action, oleic acid-rich seed oil also caused paralysis at 23 minutes and mortality at 33 minutes at 25mg/mL^38,39.

Antioxidant Activity:

Antioxidants works by reducing oxidative stress, which could cause tissue damage. It functions by becoming an electron donor to free radicals and then neutralizing them. characteristic of Moringa oleifera is one of the most researched topics^40-43.

Anti–Diarrheal Activity:

Petroleum ether was used to extract the M. oleifera leaves, which were then treated with ethanol for seven days. Castor oil was used to produce diarrhea in the animal subjects, who were divided into six groups with different extract dosages and a control. The study found that after 52 minutes, the ethanol extract considerably reduced diarrhea at a dose of 150 milligrams per kilogram, resulting in a total stool weight of 0.130mg⁴⁴.

Anti-Inflammatory:

Aqueous extracts of Moringa oleifera exhibit dose-dependent suppression of carrageenan-induced paw oedema, reaching 50% inhibition at 100mg/kg, indicating the plant's potent anti-inflammatory properties. Ethanol leaf extracts increased IL-10 and decreased the expression of NF-κB p65, iNOS, and COX-2 while reducing nitric oxide and important pro-inflammatory mediators (TNF-α, IL-6, IL-1β, and PGE₂). By lowering the mRNA and protein levels of TNF-α, IL-1, IL-6, PTGS2, and NF-κB components, the ethyl acetate fraction further reduced LPS-induced inflammation. Additionally, it prevented NF-κB p65 nuclear translocation and IκB-α phosphorylation, indicating strong inflammatory pathway regulation^45-57.

Anti-Diabetic Activity:

Moringa oleifera has long been used to treat diabetes; in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats, pod and seed powders showed benefits by stabilising fasting blood sugar, HbA1c, electrolytes, renal indicators, IL-6, and immunoglobulins; greater dosages produced stronger results. Additionally, water intake and exercise were restored in the treated groups^58-69. According to Hamed et al., leaf flavonoids uncompetitively inhibited α-glucosidase, decreasing enzyme activity by 99.01% at 800µg/mL and 54.41% at 100µg/mL. The antidiabetic potential of ethanolic leaf extract was further supported by Chen et al.'s demonstration of significant α-glucosidase inhibition, with an IC²¹ of 123µg/mL^70-73.

Hepatoprotective Activity:

In rats with liver damage caused by anti-tubercular drugs, Pari and Kumar showed that ethanolic Moringa oleifera leaf extract has potent hepatoprotective effects, greatly enhancing lipid peroxidation, liver lipid profiles, and blood indicators like bilirubin, ALP, AST, and ALT^75-77.  In a mouse model of PCOS, a 70% ethanol leaf extract also demonstrated protective advantages by lowering renal and hepatic stress indicators such as creatinine, urea, ALT, AST, ALP, and MDA.  Albumin, globulin, total protein, and the A/G ratio all rose throughout treatment, suggesting better organ function^78,79. Reductions in oxidative stress were shown to be dose- and duration-dependent.  Yu Zhou also verified that in female mice, Moringa oleifera powder improved liver and renal function and decreased oxidative stress^80,81.

Anticancer activity

Jung demonstrated that Moringa oleifera leaf extract inhibits human lung cancer cell proliferation by inducing apoptosis, reducing ROS, and downregulating survival proteins such as Akt, NF-κB, p-Erk, β-catenin, and cyclin D1^82-87. Narottam Das Agrawal further showed that the extract triggers apoptotic markers in A375 cells—including PARP cleavage and activation of caspase-9 and caspase-3/7—highlighting its role in PS translocation and chromatin condensation. Pappas et al. reported that aqueous leaf extracts suppressed c-myc in AsPC-1 pancreatic cancer cells and reduced p53 expression across multiple cancer cell lines^88-95. Additionally, M. oleifera leaf extract inhibited Dalton lymphoma (DL) cells by inducing G2/M arrest, increasing p53 and p21, decreasing Bcl-2, and elevating Bax, cytochrome-c, and caspase-3, confirming apoptosis. In DL-bearing mice, the extract reduced tumour growth and improved hematological parameters via ERK/MEK pathway inhibition^96-106.

Neuroprotective Activity:

In scopolamine-induced memory-deficit rats, this study demonstrated that Moringa oleifera seed oil (MOO) has better neuroprotective benefits than aqueous leaf extract (MOE), with notable improvements in Y-maze and novel object recognition ability^107-110. MOO significantly decreased hippocampus AChE activity, NF-κB expression, and regulated TrkB signaling. It also included increased quantities of neuroprotective chemicals such oleic acid and β-sitosterol^111-114. The CREB pathway and serum antioxidant capacity were not substantially impacted by MOO or MOE. Overall, MOO provided better protection by more successfully addressing inflammatory and cholinergic pathways^115-120.

Cardioprotective Activity:

Because of its phytochemicals, including quercetin, isoquercetin, and isothiocyanates, which improve heart function, lower oxidative stress, and ameliorate risk factors like diabetes, hyperlipidemia, and hypertension, Moringa oleifera exhibits great cardioprotective potential. Preclinical studies demonstrate its capacity to modify genes related to lipid metabolism and reduce the risk of myocardial infarction. Nevertheless, there is still little clinical data, which calls for more human research^121-126.

Nutritional and Functional Uses:

Because of its phytochemicals, including quercetin, isoquercetin, and isothiocyanates, which improve heart function, lower oxidative stress, and ameliorate risk factors like diabetes, hyperlipidemia, and hypertension, Moringa oleifera exhibits great cardioprotective potential. Preclinical studies demonstrate its capacity to modify genes related to lipid metabolism and reduce the risk of myocardial infarction. Nevertheless, there is still little clinical data, which calls for more human research^128-135.

Toxicity and Safety Profile:

Moringa oleifera is typically harmless; minor, reversible liver or renal abnormalities only happen at ≥3,000 mg/kg. Acute doses up to 2,000mg/kg demonstrate no major side effects. Long-term daily dosages of 1,500–2,000mg/kg are well tolerated and do not significantly alter behaviour or cause toxicity¹³⁶. Moringa oleifera only exhibits genotoxicity and toxicity at extremely high dosages (≥3,000mg/kg), whereas normal human doses of 2–6g/day are well tolerated. Use of high or extended consumption should be done with caution, especially in people who have kidney or liver problems^141-147.

Challenges and Limitations:

A major challenge in standardizing Moringa plant extracts is the variability in bioactive compound levels caused by regional differences in growing conditions, processing methods, and the lack of universally accepted quality markers. This leads to differences in potency, purity, and safety in commercial products, making it difficult to ensure consistent efficacy and safety in both clinical and research settings. Additionally, a few large-scale human clinical trials are investigating Moringa’s therapeutic benefits, which weakens the support for its use in conventional medicine and raises questions about optimal dosing and long-term safety^148-150.

Future Perspectives:

Moringa oleifera, which includes a variety of bioactive chemicals with hepatoprotective, cardioprotective, antidiabetic, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant activities, has a wide range of pharmacological potential, according to recent studies. Larger, well-controlled trials with standardized formulations are required because the current clinical evidence is still constrained by small sample sizes and short research durations. Lipid carriers, nanoparticles, and polymeric hydrogels are examples of drug-delivery technologies that hold potential for increasing the bioavailability and therapeutic efficacy of moringa extracts. Further pharmacological research, strong clinical validation, and the incorporation of contemporary formulation technology will be necessary for future advancements¹⁵¹.
