Abstract

Nature provides us with an immense variety of fruit-bearing plant species such as cherry (Prunus cerasus) with intriguing biological properties that contribute to an important source of new bioactive molecules. These compounds, besides being less toxic, have the potential to replace synthetic chemicals that are harmful to the environment. Currently, there are several publications linking cherries to biological activity, based on searches conducted across different databases up to August 2022. This underscores the significant utility of this fruit as a primary source of bioactive metabolites, which can serve as active ingredients in various products beneficial to humanity.
