Published: Jan. 2, 2025

Abstract Salvia , a widely recognized genus globally esteemed for its traditional and medicinal applications, prompted our investigation into the methanol water extracts of eight species native to Turkey. These included S. aucheri, candidissima, divaricata, virgata, multicaulis, palestina, trichoclada cerino‐pruinosa . Our study aimed assess their biological properties chemical composition. Utilizing HPLC‐ESI‐Q‐TOF‐MS, we identified constituents in extracts, while antioxidant (radical quenching, reducing power, metal chelating) enzyme inhibitory (amylase, glucosidase, tyrosinase, cholinesterase) activities were evaluated activities. One hundred thirty‐one compounds characterized tested extracts. Although many belonging different families identified, main all rosmarinic sagerinic acids, along with several salvianolic acid isomers. Notably, displayed superior overall, exhibiting highest activity among them, except chelating. Similar test results, more active than inhibition tests. Multivariate analysis further highlighted distinctiveness extract In conclusion, findings underscore biopharmaceutical potential species, suggesting significance as sources bioactive agents health‐promoting applications.

Published: April 27, 2023

Species belonging to the Zingiberaceae family are of high nutritional, industrial, and medicinal values. In this study, we investigated effect processing steps (fresh vs. dried milled rhizomes) extraction methodologies (hydrodistillation hexane extraction) curcuma essential oil on its chemical content (using GC-MS analysis), antioxidant behavior in vitro assays such as DPPH, ABTS, CUPRAC, FRAP, phosphomolybdenum, metal chelation), enzyme inhibitory activities (on tyrosinase, acetylcholinesterase, butylcholinesterase, α-amylase, α-glucosidase) supported by multivariate analysis, silico studies, molecular dynamics. The investigations revealed a degree similarity profile fresh hydrodistilled hexane-extracted oils with tumerone curlone being major metabolites. techniques affected concentrations other minor constituents terpinolene, caryophylla-4(12), 8(13)-dien-5α-ol, neo-intermedeol, which were almost exclusively detected oil; however, zingiberene β-sesquiphellandrene predominant oil. rhizomes, contents significantly reduced, former only while latter was doubly concentrated hexane-derived Constituents D-limonene caryophyllene oxide represented ca. 29% oil, ar-turmerone oils, representing 16% 26% composition, respectively. These variations have subsequently properties activities. showed that hydrophobic interactions hydrogen bonding characteristic binding modes bioactive metabolites their respective targets. Molecular dynamics stability ligand-target complex over time. From current study conclude best radical scavenging properties, rhizomes general display better activity regardless technique.

Molecules, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 28(3), P. 1005 - 1005

Published: Jan. 19, 2023

Generally, there are scant data about the constituents and eventually biological activity of essential oils (EOs) from aromatic plants that grow naturally in Sudan. The present study aimed to determine chemical composition, antioxidant enzyme inhibitory activities EO extracted fruit Chamaecyparis obtusa (Siebold Zucc.) Endl. (family Cupressaceae), root Chrysopogon nigritanus (Benth.) Veldkampis Poaceae) aerial part Lavandula coronopifolia Poir Lamiaceae). C. contained only monoterpenes, mainly hydrogenated ones, with α-pinene (69.07%) as major component. Oxygenated sesquiterpenes comprised highest content cedr-8-en-15-ol (28.69%) constituent while parts L. both monoterpenes oxygenated monoterpene lavandulol (26.56%) dominant compounds. significantly displayed (p < 0.05) anti-DPPH radical, Fe3+- Cu2+-reducing metal-chelating activities, exerted best anti-ABTS radical total activity. two EOs exhibited anti-acetylcholinesterase -butyrylcholinesterase respectively, was oil show a considerable effect against tyrosinase α-glucosidase enzymes. In conclusion, these three could be natural agents promising functional properties for food, cosmetics, pharmaceutical applications.
