چکیده | ||
Environmental toxins—including heavy metals, organic pollutants, mycotoxins, and airborne toxicants—pose significant threats to human health by inducing oxidative stress, inflammation, mitochondrial dysfunction, and genomic damage. Current detoxification strategies are limited in efficacy and safety, creating demand for complementary approaches. This review summarizes the protective and detoxification mechanisms of medicinal plants against environmental toxins, with emphasis on molecular pathways and translational evidence. We examined experimental and clinical studies addressing the role of medicinal plants in mitigating toxin-induced damage, focusing on antioxidant activity, xenobiotic metabolism, chelation, and anti-inflammatory effects. Key phytochemicals—including silymarin (Silybum marianum), curcumin (Curcuma longa), catechins (Camellia sinensis), sulforaphane (Brassica spp.), allicin (Allium sativum), and resveratrol (Vitis vinifera)—exert protective effects via multiple mechanisms: Activation of Nrf2–ARE signaling and induction of detoxification enzymes, Chelation of toxic metals (lead, cadmium, mercury), Suppression of NF-κB–mediated inflammation, Stabilization of mitochondria and cell membranes, and Support of glutathione metabolism. Several plants, such as broccoli sprouts and garlic, show measurable benefits in human trials (e.g., increased excretion of benzene metabolites, reduced lead burden). However, limitations include variability in phytochemical content, poor bioavailability (e.g., curcumin, resveratrol), and potential herb–drug interactions. Medicinal plants offer promising, multi-targeted strategies for mitigating the adverse health effects of environmental toxins. While robust preclinical evidence supports their use, large-scale, standardized clinical trials are essential to validate efficacy, optimize dosing, and ensure safety. Integration of phytomedicine with modern detoxification strategies may provide a sustainable approach to environmental health challenges. | ||
