Description

Thymoquinone is a naturally occurring bioactive compound found primarily in the seeds of the black seed (Nigella sativa). It is a yellow, volatile oil that has been traditionally used in folk medicine for centuries. Research has demonstrated a wide range of potential pharmacological properties associated with thymoquinone, including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anticancer, antidiabetic, and antimicrobial effects. Its chemical structure consists of a quinone ring with a methyl and an isopropyl substituent. The biosynthesis of thymoquinone in the black seed plant is not fully understood but involves the shikimate pathway. Researchers are actively investigating thymoquinone for its therapeutic potential in various diseases, driven by its promising preclinical and clinical findings. The antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties of thymoquinone have been particularly well studied, leading to investigations into its role in preventing and treating conditions like cancer, diabetes, and neurodegenerative disorders. Furthermore, its potential in treating infections caused by antibiotic-resistant bacteria is under investigation. The widespread interest in thymoquinone stems from its diverse biological activities, making it a promising candidate for drug development in various therapeutic areas.'
