Article Abstract
Various ailments have been treated with pineapple ( (L.) Merr.) throughout medicinal history. Pineapple and its bioactive compound bromelain possess health-promoting benefits. Detailed information on the chemotherapeutic activities of pineapple and its bioactive compound bromelain is provided in this review, which analyses the current literature regarding their therapeutic potential in cancer. Research on disease models in cell cultures is the focus of much of the existing research. Several studies have demonstrated the benefits of pineapple extract and bromelain for in vitro and in vivo cancer models. Preliminary animal model results show promise, but they must be translated into the clinical setting. Research on these compounds represents a promising future direction and may be well-tolerated.

Fungal secondary metabolites display remarkable chemical diversity and biological potential, with applications in agriculture and pharmaceuticals. This study isolated and characterized bioactive metabolites from two phytopathogenic fungi, Fusarium falciforme (from papaya) and Aspergillus terreus (from pineapple), assessing their antifungal and cysteine protease-inhibitory activities. The compounds hymeglusin, fusaridioic acid A, and butyrolactone I exhibited significant antifungal effects, with hymeglusin (IC 22.

This study reports the synthesis of copper oxide nanoparticles (CuO NPs) using chemical and green methods utilizing pineapple waste, including fresh peels, dried peels, and pineapple pomace from two different copper precursors, targeting antifungal activity and plant growth enhancement. Phytochemical analysis confirmed the presence of bioactive compounds with dry peel extract proving to be most effective for green synthesis. CuO NP formation was evidenced by color change and confirmed by UV-vis, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analysis, revealing particle sizes under 50 nm.

A freeze-dried pineapple extract-Brome-Inf, from pineapple by-products of industrial rings production, was enriched in bioactive polypeptides and bromelain by membrane ultrafiltration. Orchiepididymitis (OE), a painful pediatric pathology, was treated with this extract. A pilot, double-blind, randomized study involving 60 pediatric OE patients compared the effects of Brome-Inf to a placebo over a 15-day period, in conjunction with antibiotic treatment.

Despite the potential applications of pineapple fibers, the systematic characterization of their polyphenolic composition has not been fully elucidated. In this study, UHPLC-MS and OPLS-DA were used to comprehensively analyze the polyphenolic profiles in pineapple leaf (PLF), stem (PSF) and root (PRF) fibers, while evaluating their bioactive properties. The investigation revealed that PRF contained significantly higher polyphenol content (9.
