Agrimony ( Agrimonia eupatoria L.) (Ae) is used in traditional medicine to treat inflammatory and oxidative related diseases. Therefore, this study focuses on the anti‐inflammatory analgesic potential of Ae infusion (AeI). Phenolic compounds characterization was achieved by HPLC‐PDA‐ESI/MS n . To evaluate antioxidant potential, 2,2‐diphenyl‐1‐picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), superoxide anion, hydroxyl radical, SNAP assays were used. In vitro activity AeI investigated LPS‐stimulated macrophages...
Fragaria vesca L. (F. vesca), popularly known as wild strawberry, is a plant from the Rosaceae family, found in temperate and subtropical areas of northern hemisphere. F. leaves have been shown to antiseptic, emollient, dermatological protection properties, due presence bioactive compounds, such flavonoids, phenolic acids, ellagitannins, proanthocyanidins. In this study, extract was obtained by an optimized extraction process, characterized HPLC, ROS scavenging activity, cytotoxicity assays...
Overexpression of melanin contributes to darkening plant and fruit tissues skin hyperpigmentation, leading melasma or age spots. Although biosynthesis is complex involves several steps, a single enzyme known as tyrosinase key regulating this process. The melanogenesis pathway initiated by oxidation the starting material l-tyrosine (or l-DOPA) dopaquinone tyrosinase; resulting quinone then serves substrate for subsequent steps that eventually lead production melanin. Medicinal plants are...
The results of a survey 28 over-the-counter tablet preparations isoflavones extracted from soy and 2 with black cohosh that are available in Portuguese pharmacies presented. All were remedies for hot flushes post-menopause related problems. Their isoflavone content was analysed by HPLC/DAD LC/MS-MS. show the isoflavonoids extracts sold pharmaceutical companies Portugal mainly daidzin, glycitin genistin.
