Abstract

Naringenin, a flavanone found in citrus fruits, has sparked widespread scientific attention due to its various pharmacological properties. This systematic review evaluates all preclinical investigations completed in the recent decade (2020-2025) to understand naringenin's medicinal potential. It has been shown to be effective in the treatment of a variety of pathological illnesses, including cancer, osteoporosis, neurodegenerative diseases, metabolic disorders, and inflammatory diseases. Naringenin's mechanisms of action include antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-apoptotic, and immunomodulatory pathways. Recent advances in nanoformulations and drug delivery devices have improved bioavailability and therapeutic effectiveness.

The study focuses on preclinical research conducted in vitro and in vivo, demonstrating naringenin's significance in hepatocellular cancer, radiation-induced damage, osteoporosis, ocular neovascularization, and inflammatory bone loss. Notably, nano-encapsulation and targeted administration methods have enhanced its pharmacokinetic characteristics, making it a strong contender for future clinical uses. A critical assessment of these findings emphasizes the need for more clinical research to evaluate its translational potential in human health. This study is a helpful resource for researchers investigating natural therapies, highlighting the importance of well-designed clinical studies to establish the efficacy and safety of naringenin-based therapy.
