Pharmaceutical R&D
Development of new drugs: Taking hesperidin as the lead compound, through structural modification and optimization, develop anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anti-tumor and other drugs with higher activity and selectivity. For example, hesperidin can be modified by esterification, glycosylation, etc. to improve its pharmacokinetic properties and bioavailability, and it is expected to develop new drugs for the treatment of major diseases such as cardiovascular disease and cancer.
Adjuvant therapy drugs: Hesperidin can be used as an adjuvant therapy drug in combination with existing drugs to enhance the therapeutic effect and reduce the side effects of drugs. For example, in tumor treatment, hesperidin can enhance the anti-tumor activity of chemotherapy drugs and reduce the damage of chemotherapy drugs to normal tissues; in the treatment of diabetes, it can synergize with hypoglycemic drugs to better control blood sugar levels and improve diabetic complications.
Health care product production
Antioxidant health care products: Health care products such as capsules, tablets or oral liquids containing hesperidin are made, which are suitable for middle-aged and elderly people, people who face computers and mobile phones for a long time, and people who engage in high-intensity physical labor or are in polluted environments to supplement antioxidants, protect body cells from damage by free radicals, and delay the aging process.
Comprehensive health products: compounded with other ingredients with health functions such as vitamin C, vitamin E, zinc, selenium, etc., to develop products with comprehensive health functions, enhance human immunity, regulate body functions, and prevent a variety of chronic diseases.
Food industry
Food additives: added to food as a natural antioxidant and preservative to extend the shelf life of food. For example, adding hesperidin to foods such as oils, meats, and pastries can prevent food from oxidative rancidity and maintain the flavor and quality of food; adding hesperidin to juices and beverages can not only resist oxidation but also increase the nutritional value of the product.
Functional foods: develop functional foods rich in hesperidin, such as bread, biscuits, yogurt, etc. fortified with hesperidin. These functional foods can provide consumers with additional health benefits while providing basic nutrition, meeting consumers' demand for healthy foods.
Cosmetic field
Skin care products: added to skin care products such as creams, lotions, and essences, using its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects to reduce oxidative damage and inflammatory reactions of the skin, prevent skin aging, improve skin texture, and make the skin smoother and more delicate. Hesperidin also has a certain repair and soothing effect on sensitive skin, acne skin and other problem skin.
Sunscreen products: Since hesperidin has a certain ability to absorb ultraviolet rays, it can be used in sunscreen products to enhance the sunscreen effect, while reducing the irritation of chemical sunscreens to the skin, providing safer and natural sunscreen protection.
