Abstract

Morin is a natural polyphenol, which is isolated from some plants from the Moraceae family. Morin has various biological activities like antioxidant, antidiabetic, anti-inflammatory, antiulcer, antitumoral, antihypertensive, antibacterial, hypouricemic, and neuroprotective effects, by modulating the activity of many enzymes. In some cases, Morin showed a systemic protective action, reducing negative side effects of several drugs, without interfering with their functions. It showed a skin protection effect. In addition, in vitro, and in vivo studies showed that morin has very low toxicity levels and its chronic administration is well tolerated. All these findings proved that Morin could be used, either alone or in combination with other drugs, to prevent many human pathologies.
