Phytochemicals derived from local flora exhibit significant antioxidant and anti-inflammatory
properties, making them promising candidates for therapeutic applications in chronic disease
management. Oxidative stress and inflammation are key contributors to diseases such as
cancer, cardiovascular disorders, and neurodegenerative conditions, and plant-derived
bioactive compounds offer natural solutions to mitigate these effects. This paper reviews the
major classes of phytochemicals, including polyphenols, flavonoids, alkaloids, terpenoids,
and saponins, highlighting their mechanisms of action in free radical scavenging, enzyme
modulation, and cytokine inhibition.
