To evaluate antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, hepatoprotective and vasorelaxant activities of Populus nigra flower buds ethanolic extract.Antioxidant anti-inflammatory the extract were assessed using respectively ABTS test animal model carrageenan-induced paw edema. Protection from hepatic toxicity caused by aluminum was examined histopathologic analysis liver sections. Vasorelaxant effect estimated in endothelium-intact -rubbed rings porcine coronary arteries precontracted with high...
Currently, the interest in polyphenols is increasing due to their significant properties health. Polyphenols exist a range of natural products, however extraction as well characterization are important issues they mainly present complex matrices. Therefore, sensitive and selective analytical methods based on liquid chromatography coupled tandem mass spectrometry essential. Nevertheless, access such high-resolution techniques quite rare. Thus, this work we simple, robust method...
In Algeria, Fraxinus angustifolia Vahl (Oleaceae) is a prominent ingredient for the treatment of inflammatory diseases caused by oxidative stress. This study aimed to make comparison between phenolic compound compositions ethanolic and aqueous extracts (decoction infusion) this plant test antioxidant, cytotoxic anti-pancreatic lipase activities from leaf bark. The identification quantification compounds was carried out HPLC-DAD-MS antioxidant activity assessed according three methods: Ferric...
Fraxinus angustifolia leaves and bark are used in traditional medicine against various inflammatory-related pathologies incumbent to reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation by the NADH oxidase activity of enzymes such as xanthine oxidoreductase (XOR). This study was designed investigate vitro vivo inhibitory activities this enzyme extracts. The leaf organic phase ethyl acetate (LFA) its aqueous counterpart (BFA) showed strongest anti-NADH (IC50 = 38.51 42.04 µg mL-1, respectively). They...
Pistacia lentiscus L. is one of the most popular medicinal plants attributed to its beneficial properties on human health. However, few toxicogenetic studies have been carried out. Therefore, aim this study was examine potential genotoxic/antigenotoxic and mutagenic/antimutagenic oil, ethyl acetate ethanolic extracts P. fruits using in vitro Ames Umu assays, as well vivo micronucleus (MN) test. Extracts did not exert any significant mutagenic/genotoxic effects but provided protection against...
Clematis flammula L. (CF) (Ranunculaceae) is widely used traditionally by native Berber populations in Algeria to treat gastrointestinal disorders. The present study was conducted assess the gastroprotective properties and underlying mechanisms of CF leaves ethanolic extract (CFEE) four ulcer models mice. After total phenol quantification, gastro-protective effect CFEE evaluated macroscopic microscopic analyses, investigation antioxidant (superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), reduced...
Context: Populus nigra L., is a species of cottonwood poplar that belongs to the Salicaceae family, cultivated in multiple areas Algeria, with an Algerian name Safsaf. Aims: To evaluate flower buds extract for its effects on brain modifications against aluminum-induced neurotoxicity mice. The hypouricemic action was also evaluated. Methods: effect AlCl3-induced mice battery tests performed assess spectrum learning and memory functions. studied by measure uric acid levels liver xanthine...
In recent years, the study of medicinal plants’ therapeutic properties has increased due to their effects and biological activities. The Acanthaceae family consists 242 genera 3947 species mainly distributed across tropical subtropical zones. This is known contain a wide range bioactive compounds, such as, alkaloids, triterpenes steroids glycosides, polyphenols, polysaccharides. Herein, antioxidant anti-diabetic Acanthus mollis (AM) extracted by green alternative technology; ultrasound...
The present study aimed at elucidating the anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antibacterial mechanisms of Clematis flammula (CF) leaf extracts. Methodologically, antioxidant activity was evaluated using 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl ferric ion reducing power assays, assessed Gram-positive (Staphylococcus aureus) Gram-negative (Escherichia coli) cell cultures. Anti-inflammatory potency through cyclooxygenase trypsin inhibitory activities. Moreover, anti-inflammatory active extracts were...
