Natural Deep Eutectic Solvents: Properties, Applications, and Perspectives.


ABSTRACT: As functional liquid media, natural deep eutectic solvent (NADES) species can dissolve natural or synthetic chemicals of low water solubility. Moreover, the special properties of NADES, such as biodegradability and biocompatibility, suggest that they are alternative candidates for concepts and applications involving some organic solvents and ionic liquids. Owing to the growing comprehension of the eutectic mechanisms and the advancing interest in the natural eutectic phenomenon, many NADES applications have been developed in the past several years. However, unlike organic solvents, the basic structural unit of NADES media primarily depends on the intermolecular interactions among their components. This makes NADES matrices readily influenced by various factors, such as water content, temperature, and component ratio and, thus, extends the metabolomic challenge of natural products (NPs). To enhance the understanding of the importance of NADES in biological systems, this review focuses on NADES properties and applications in NP research. The present thorough chronological and statistical analysis of existing report adds to the recognition of the distinctiveness of (NA)DES, involves a discussion of NADES-related observations in NP research, and reportes applications of these eutectic mixtures. The work identifies potential areas for future studies of (NA)DES by evaluating relevant applications, including their use as extraction and chromatographic media as well as their biomedical relevance. The chemical diversity of natural metabolites that generate or participate in NADES formation highlights the growing insight that biosynthetically primordial metabolites (PRIMs) are as essential to the biological function and bioactivity of unrefined natural products as the biosynthetically more highly evolutionary metabolites (HEVOs) that can be isolated from crude mixtures.
