Capparis decidua is one of the traditional remedies used for various medicinal treatments in Pakistan. This study presents determination proximate composition, amino acids, fatty tocopherols, sterols, glucosinolate and phenolic content extracts obtained from different aerial parts C. decidua, as well their antidiabetic antioxidant activity. All examined were prominently rich phenolics glucosinates, they showed potent antihemolytic The present could be helpful developing preparations...
Mentha species are widely used as food, medicine, spices, and flavoring agents. Thus, chemical composition is an important parameter for assessing the quality of mints. In general, contents menthol, menthone, eucalyptol, limonene comprise one major parameters commercially Building further on phytochemical characterization species, this work was focused phenolic compounds in methanolic extracts. Thirteen were grown under same environmental conditions, their extracts subjected to LC–MS/MS...
This study presents the very first report on in vitro antiviral activity of selected essential oils Lamiaceae plant species and their monoterpenes against severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Nineteen were obtained by hydrodistillation dried material, monoterpene profiles determined. In addition, exact concentrations each that found at a significant level defined. Both components tested for cytotoxic SARS-CoV-2 infected Vero 76 cells. The results showed four Mentha...
The phenolic composition, as well the antioxidant and antimicrobial activities of two poorly investigated Achillea species, lingulata Waldst. endemic abrotanoides Vis., were studied. To obtain a more detailed phytochemical profile, four solvents with different polarities used for preparation plant extracts whose composition was analyzed using UHPLC-MS/MS (ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry). results indicate that both species are very rich in acids...
Abstract We have developed and validated a novel LC-MS/MS method for simultaneously analyzing amino acids, biogenic amines, their acetylated methylated derivatives in plants. This involves one-step extraction of 2–5 mg lyophilized plant material followed by fractionation different amine forms, exploits an efficient combination hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography (HILIC), reversed phase (RP) with pre-column derivatization, tandem mass spectrometry (MS). approach enables...
Heat and drought events often occur concurrently as a consequence of climate change have severe impact on crop growth yield. Besides, the accumulative increase in atmospheric CO 2 level is expected to be doubled by end this century. It essential understand consequences combined with levels relevant crops such wheat. This study evaluated physiology metabolite changes grain yield heat-sensitive (SF29) heat-tolerant (LM20) wheat genotypes under individual heat stress or applied during anthesis...
The physical dormancy of seeds is likely to be mediated by the chemical composition and thickness seed coat. Here, we investigate link between content phenylpropanoids (i.e., phenolics flavonoids) present in chickpea coat dormancy. relationship selected phenolic flavonoid metabolites coats level was assessed using wild cultivated parental genotypes a derived population recombinant inbred lines (RILs). were analyzed via LC-MS/MS method. Significant differences concentration certain acids...
Black cumin (Nigella sativa L. [N.sativa]) seed extracts demonstrated numerous beneficial biological effects including, among others, antidiabetic, anticancer, immunomodulatory, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, antihypertensive, and antioxidant activity. To better understand the phytochemical composition of N. seeds, methanol were analyzed for phenolic acid flavonoid content. Furthermore, we tested methanol, n-hexane, aqueous their inhibitory activity against butyrylcholinesterase (BChE)...
Ground beetles are important invertebrate seed predators in temperate agro-ecosystems. However, there is a lack of information regarding which properties to carabids when they select seeds for consumption. Therefore, properties, such as size, shape, morphological defence, and chemical composition, were measured, addition taxonomy ecology, these data used explain carabid preferences. Carabid preferences assessed using multi-choice experiment with 28 species weed presented 37 Carabidae....
In order to provide a general picture of phytochemical characteristics nectar honey, honeydew, and mixed honeys, an overall comparison physicochemical parameters, phenolic profile as well antioxidant activity various types honey samples has been made. Among all analysed, honeydew possess the best quality parameters in mean content hydroxymethylfurfural, proline, diastase activity. Moreover, highest compounds potential radical scavengers was found honeydews, then multifloral while monofloral...
Hydrodistilled volatile oils from Achillea millefolium L., Arnica montana Artemisia absinthium and annua L. were analyzed by GC/MS. One hundred sixty-seven compounds identified in all samples, ranging 74.3% to 96.4% of the total oil. A high percentage oxygenated monoterpenes is main characteristic A. with camphor (19.2%) isoascaridol (21.9%) as major constituents, respectively. In contrast, component oil was sesquiterpene selina-3,11-dien-6-α-ol (9.6%), while chemical composition...
