The genetic, morphological and taxonomic diversity of the genus Sorbus is due to homoploid polyploid hybridisation, autopolyploidy apomixis, which also influence production secondary metabolites, especially flavonoids. aim this study was investigate relationships variations flavonoids in terms hybrid origin ploidy level between parental species their derivatives. sampling design included leaf material following accessions from ten natural localities: taxa (di-, tri- tetraploids S. aria;...
Fumaria officinalis (fumitory), in the form of dust, was employed as a source bioactive extracts whose chemical profile and biological potential were investigated. According to results optimization extraction protocol, extract with highest polyphenol yield prepared using fumitory dust under optimal conditions determined statistical tool, 23 full factorial design: 50% ethanol 30:1 mL/g ratio during 120 s microwave (22.56 mg gallic acid equivalent/g plant material). LC-MS...
In the study, optimization of extraction from Aloe vera leaf waste was performed via varying solid-to-solvent ratio, solvent type, time, and technique (maceration, heat-, ultrasound-, microwave-assisted extractions-HAE, UAE, MAE, respectively). The optimal conditions for achieving highest polyphenol content are a 1:30 70% ethanol, 30 min HAE. Total flavonoid protein contents were significantly higher in extract while total condensed tannin LC-MS analysis quantified 13 anthraquinone chromone...
Plants of the genus Prangos are intensively investigated as potential new sources bioactive isolated products. In this work, chemical composition volatile constituents (essential oils and headspace volatiles) dichloromethane extracts, well antimicrobial antibiofilm activities essential MFDEs (methanol fractions extracts) trifida from Serbia, were investigated. Volatiles roots, leaves, stems fruits, fatty acids phytosterols in extracts roots fruits analyzed by GC-FID-MS, whereas coumarins...
The aims of the present research include (1) optimization extraction from Vaccinium myrtillus leaf waste via investigation plant material:medium ratio, medium, and period, employing extractions at room high temperatures, or using ultrasound microwaves (M, HAE, UAE, MAE, respectively), (2) physicochemical characterization, (3) extract biological potential. statistical analysis revealed that optimal levels parameters for greatest polyphenolic yield were a proportion 1:30 g/mL, ethyl alcohol...
Abstract Introduction Hieracium s. str. represents one of the largest and most complex genera flowering plants. As molecular genetics seems unlikely to disentangle intricate relationships within this reticulate species complex, analysis flavonoids phenolic acids, known as good chemosystematic markers, promise be more reliable. Data about pharmacological activity are scarce. Objective Evaluation significance acids methanol extracts aerial parts 28 from Balkans. Additionally, investigation...
Abstract The different parts of Sorbus torminalis (L.) Crantz are used in traditional medicine for various conditions such as cardiac diseases, cough, and diabetes, indicating its significant medicinal potential. Therefore, the current investigation aimed to reveal phenolic composition poorly studied S. methanol extract bark, well capacity inhibit enzymes relevant cardiovascular, neurodegenerative, metabolic diseases. A total 28 components, including 20 procyanidins aglycones (A‐ B‐type),...
The composition and anticholinesterase activity of the dried MeOH extracts Hieracium scheppigianum H. naegelianum underground parts (rhizomes roots), as well dried, previously chemically characterised flowering aerial these two 26 other species in strict sense (s. str.), were investigated. Furthermore, 12 selected secondary metabolites was evaluated. Using semi-preparative LC-MS, five caffeoylquinic acids sesquiterpene lactone crepiside E isolated from extract. All compounds also identified...
Dry MeOH extracts of the twig barks Pyrus communis subsp. pyraster, P. spinosa and their hybrid P.×jordanovii nothosubsp. velenovskyi, collected in wild Serbia, were analyzed. By LC/MS, contents arbutin (99.9-131.0 mg/g), chlorogenic acid (2.2-6.3 catechin (1.0-5.3 mg/g) total dimeric trimeric procyanidins (42.2-61.3 including procyanidin B2 (8.9-17.2 determined. Colorimetrically, high phenolics (436.2-533.4 mg GAE/g) tannins (339.4-425.7 GAE/g), as well strong antioxidant activities (FRAP...
Puffballs are fungi that produce globose fruiting bodies undergo autolysis, transforming their insides into a spore bearing, powdery mass. Mature traditionally used to treat open skin wounds. In this study, methanol extracts of two puffball species, Handkea excipuliformis and Vascellum pratense, were examined compared in order provide insight the changes these mushrooms during maturation, with respect potential use care wound treatment. Some compounds involved regeneration quantified, it was...
The anti-inflammatory/immunomodulatory effects of Teucrium montanum L. (TM), a plant distributed in the Mediterranean region, have been insufficiently examined. TM ethanol extract were tested rat collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) model rheumatoid arthritis. LC-MS was used for phytochemical analysis extract. Dark Agouti rats immunized with bovine type II collagen (CII) incomplete Freund’s adjuvant CIA, and treated 100 or 200 mg/kg daily via oral administration. Clinical histopathological...
Present study investigated triterpene profile, antihyperalgesic and antiedematous activities of Hieracium scheppigianum flowering aerial parts dichloromethane extract (SCH), previously chemically characterised polyphenol-rich H. glabratum calophyllum methanol extracts (GLA CAL, respectively). α- β-Amyrin their acetates, lupeol acetate were identified quantified in SCH by GC-FID GC-MS. In carrageenan-induced localised inflammation model rats, GLA (50-200 mg/kg, p.o.) produced significant...
Antimicrobial and cytotoxic activities were tested for dried MeOH extracts of Hieracium calophyllum (CAL), H. coloriscapum (COL), pseudoschenkii (PSE), valdepilosum (VAL) glabratum (GLA) herbs (flowering aerial parts), their 2 sesquiterpene lactones (SLs) 8-epiixerisamine A crepiside E, CH2 Cl2 extract scheppigianum (SCH) herb. In microdilution test, showed activity on all microorganisms (8 bacteria, 10 fungi). The best effect was exhibited by SCH CAL Salmonella Typhimurium (MIC=1.7-2.5...
Background/Aim. Data on phytochemical and pharmacological investigations of genus Cirsium Mill. (Asteraceae) are scarce. Some data suggest that decoctions or infusions prepared from these plants used in folk medicine as tonics, particularly inflammatory, liver stomach diseases. So far there have been no related to ligulare (C. ligulare) Boiss. Accordingly, the aim this study was estimate antioxidative, anti-inflammatory gastroprotective activities aqueous extracts C. herb 5% 10% decoctions....
