Abstract

Several studies have shown that the extracts of Capsicum annuum L. have been used in the treatment of various ailments (fever, colds, chest pain, cancer, cough, sore throat, toothache, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, wound healing Rheumatic wounds and inflammations, etc. It also inhibits bacterial growth and clumping of blood platelets. According to various bibliographical sources, Capsicum annuum L. is an excellent source of phytochemicals such as carotenoids, ascorbic acid, flavonoids, tocopherols and capsaïcinoïds which are very important in the prevention of chronic diseases mentioned above. This richness of the pigment in the possession of a diversity of bioactive molecules would constitute an excellent remedy in the healing of traumatic wounds of the eye and we predict that these compounds would prevent the development of cataracts of the eye. A situation contrary to the healing of eye wounds based on tetracycline and chloramphenicol, the healing of which leads to the formation of cataracts, the main cause of extensive eye operations aimed at "the destruction of this organ" d 'capital importance. Research methods: In this Bibliographic survey, our approach revolved around the literature on the Capsicum annuum L plant. Several results were retrieved from the Articles, Memoirs and Theses having addressed the study of Capsicum annuum L. And these results were retrieved using Google which was considered our search engine. In summary, it is the documentary technique that was at work.
