Abstract
Crocin is a bioactive molecule water soluble and found naturally in numerous medicinal plants, including saffron, and is classified as a stigma in the Iridaceae family. As a known drug because it contains 150 compounds such as Crocin has been added to a variety of food items to prepare wholesome meals after drying, it can help with food product stability. Crocin is becoming more popular in the pharmaceutical industry because of its ability to protect against brain diseases and protect humans against oxidative stress so, it contains antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anticancer, and antidepressant effects. Crocus sativaus is a phytochemical that includes three compounds: crocin, picrocrocine, and safranal, depending on there, the capacity of stigma extract to lower OS in bacteria, yeast, and plants were also evaluated, those compounds responsible for color, bitterness, and aroma in saffron. The findings showed that stigma extract reduced protein, lipid peroxidation, and chlorophyll degradation caused by methyl viologen. Plants oxidize, which increases their ability to withstand stress. It has also been demonstrated to increase yeast and bacteria's resistance to H2O2-mediated oxidative damage. Even though it is the most important drug for decreasing diabetes and obesity. Crocin significantly inhibits the growth of cell lines originating from the great majority of human cancers. Crocin is frequently used to treat stress problems associated with oxidative stress since it is a well-known potent antioxidant. It plays a role in preventing stress resulting from oxidation inside cells. Crocin is also considered one of the most important antioxidants found outside the cell. It is a strong and direct antioxidant and a protective factor against damage resulting from internal oxidation of nucleic acids. The object of this study is to use the antioxidant crocin in the pharmacological treatment of different kinds of diseases.
