Abstract:
Background: The placenta maintains and regulates the growth of fetus and consists of
various biologically active nutrients such as cytomedines, vitamins, trace elements, amino acids,
peptides, growth factors, and other biologically active constituents.
Introduction: The therapeutic effectiveness of the placenta can be well defined with respect to several
biochemical mechanisms of various components present in it. The placental extract derived
from biomedical wastes has also shown a great potential for treatment of various diseases.
Methods: Placental therapy has been reported specifically to have potent action in the treatment of
diseases and tissue regeneration.
Results: Placental bioactive components and their multi-targeting identity prompted us to compile
the précise information on placental extract products. However, some findings are needed to be explored
by scientific community to prove their clinical potential with significant statistical validation.
Conclusion: In the light of available information and the usefulness of the placental extract, it is necessary
that the formulations of various desirable properties may be developed to meet the clinical
requirements in several treatment paradigms. The potential effects of placental extract-based therapy
are an interesting topic for investigation.
