AB  - Without being aware of their chemical composition, many cultures have used herbaceous peony roots for medicinal purposes. Modern phytopreparations intended for use in human therapy require specific knowledge about the chemistry of peony roots and their biological activities. In this study, ethanol–water extracts were prepared by maceration and microwave- and ultrasound-assisted extractions (MAE and UAE, respectively) in order to obtain bioactive molecules from the roots of Paeonia tenuifolia L., Paeonia peregrina Mill., and Paeonia officinalis L. wild growing in Serbia. Chemical characterization; polyphenol and flavonoid content; antioxidant, multianti-enzymatic, and antibacterial activities of extracts; and in vitro gastrointestinal digestion (GID) of hot water extracts were performed. The strongest anti-cholinesterase activity was observed in PT extracts. The highest anti-ABTS (2,2′-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulphonic acid) radical potential was observed in PP extracts, whereas against DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl radicals), the best results were achieved with PO extracts. Regarding antibacterial activity, extracts were strongly potent against Bacillus cereus. A molecular docking simulation was conducted to gather insights into the binding affinity and interactions of polyphenols and other Paeonia-specific molecules in the active sites of tested enzymes. In vitro GID of Paeonia teas showed a different recovery and behavior of the individual bioactives, with an increased recovery of methyl gallate and digallate and a decreased recovery of paeoniflorin and its derivatives. PT (Gulenovci) and PP (Pirot) extracts obtained by UAE and M were more efficient in the majority of the bioactivity assays. This study represents an initial step toward the possible application of Paeonia root extracts in pharmacy, medicine, and food technologies.

AB  - This study was designed to investigate the impact of different extraction methods (ultrasound-assisted extraction, maceration, and microwave-assisted extraction) on the content of polyphenols and biological activities of leaf extract of Paeonia daurica subsp. daurica collected in Južni Kučaj (Serbia). The total polyphenol and flavonoid content were achieved by the UV-Vis spectroscopy. FTIR analysis was conducted to investigate structural properties of the extracts. In vitro methods (2,2′-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) - ABTS and 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl – DPPH assays) were carried out to measure the antioxidant activity of the extracts, while their antibacterial activity was tested against three Gram-positive and three Gram-negative bacterial strains. Analyzing the results of antioxidant activity, the highest anti-DPPH potential was achieved in the extracts of LPD obtained by maceration. The extraction method proven to produce the most effective antibacterial agents is maceration. Moreover, inhibitory activity of extracts against acetyl–and butyrylcholinesterase, α-amylase, α-glucosidase, and tyrosinase was evaluated in the enzyme inhibition assays. Overall, the results of this research indicated the possible use utilization of leaf extracts of Paeonia daurica subsp. daurica Andrews in food technology and pharmacy.

AB  - The genus Scorzonera is one of the most important genera in the Asteraceae family, and members of the genus have great potential in traditional medicine systems. In this article we aimed to determine skin protective and antimicrobial effects of different extracts from the roots and aerial parts of three Scorzonera species (S. hieraciifolia, S. hispanica, S. tomentosa). Antimicrobial properties were evaluated against different pathogen bacterial and fungal strains, whereas protective effects were studied in isolated mouse skin specimens exposed to hydrogen peroxide. In this biological model, the levels of l-dopa and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) were evaluated, as markers of tyrosinase activity and inflammation, respectively. All extracts were effective in blunting the increased hydrogen peroxide-induced l-dopa turnover and PGE2 level; thus, suggesting skin protection that could be partly related to the content of flavonoids, among which rutin, in the tested extracts. Additionally, all extracts were effective as antibacterial and antifungal agents; intriguing results were observed against Trichoderma viride, which was particularly sensitive to S. tomentosa root extracts. Therefore, the present study strengthens the importance of investigating herbal preparations obtained from plants belonging to the genus Scorzonera, for the management and prevention of inflammatory and infectious skin conditions.

AB  - Glaucosciadium cordifolium (Apiaceae) is traditionally used against stomach ailments, as aphrodisiac and appetizer. This study endeavored to characterize several extracts of G. cordifolium aerial parts (prepared by various isolation procedures (ASE: Accelerated solvent extraction; HAE: homogenizer-assisted extract; MAE: Microwave-assisted extraction; MAC: Maceration; SFE: supercritical CO2 extraction; SOX: Soxhlet; UAE: Ultrasound-assisted extraction) and evaluate the antioxidant activity and inhibitory activity against clinical enzymes. In order to describe the composition of the extracts liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) analysis was employed. Of the total number of confirmed polyphenol components (15 in total), four were dominant in their content: 5-O-caffeoylquinic acid, p-coumaric acid, quercetin-3-O-glucoside and quercetin-3-O-rhamnoside. Spectrophotometric analysis showed that the total phenolic and flavonoid contents differed among the extracts, which was influenced by extraction technique used for their preparation. The phenolic content of the different extracts varied in the order HAE > UAE > MAC > SOX > MAE > ASE > SFE. HAE extract yielded the highest phenolic content (49.97 mg gallic acid equivalent (GAE)/g) while SFE demonstrated the lowest phenolic content (21.65 mg GAE/g). MAC extracts contained the highest flavonoids (50.35 mg rutin equivalent (RE)/g) while SFE extract showed the lowest flavonoid content (10.87 mg RE/g). UAE, MAC, MAE, HAE, SOX and ASE showed significant DPPH antioxidant activities and the values of radical inhibitory capacity varied in the range of 55.79–54.99 mg TE/g. SFE demonstrated weak DPPH (1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl) radical inhibitory activity with a value 7.0 mg TE/g. UAE showed the highest ABTS (2,2′-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulphonic acid) cation radical inhibitory potential (122.41 mg trolox equivalent (TE)/g). The CUPRAC (cupric reducing antioxidant capacity) activity of UAE was remarkable with a value of 193.58 mg TE/g. A gradual decrease in activity was observed with extracts obtained from other extraction techniques with the lowest antioxidant activity (77.0 mg TE/g) obtained from SFE extract. The highest antioxidant recorded by Phosphomolybdenum was found in HAE extract (1.62 mmol TE/g). SFE showed the highest metal chelating activity (27.30 mg ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid (EDTAE)/g). Regarding the acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitory activity, MAE and ASE extracts showed the highest potential with a value of 4.06 and 4.05 mg galanthamine equivalent (GALAE)/g respectively. All tested extracts showed considerable whitening activity and SFE revealed the highest activity against tyrosinase (93.82 mg kojic acid equivalent (KAE)/g). In addition, SFE showed the best inhibitory ability against amylase (0.71 mmol acarbose equivalent (ACAE)/g). However, the extracts had similar glucosidase inhibitory effects (1.64–1.71 mmol ACAE/g). The rich chemical composition of the extracts and joint action of different classes of polyphenolic compounds in them may be responsible for their high biological activity. Extracts with the highest activity could serve in the future as an important tool for controlling the activity of clinically important enzymes and take their place in the official formulation after additional pharmacological tests.

AB  - The plant species Opopanax hispidus is known in traditional Turkish medicine and nutrition. In addition to all the advantages that are known by the traditions of old generations, O. hispidus has been insufficiently examined, and its potential could be used in treatment in modern medicine and diet. In this paper, O. hispidus extracts obtained by conventional (maceration (MAC), and Soxhlet (SOX)) and contemporary (accelerated solvent extraction (ASE), homogenizer assisted extraction (HAE), microwave-assisted extraction (MAE), ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE), supercritical fluid extraction (SFE)) methods were examined in terms of their chemical composition and biological potential. The extract obtained by HAE extraction had the highest content of total phenolics and flavonoids (36.98 mg GAE/g and 15.04 mg RE/g, respectively). The highest antioxidant activity was recorded for HAE and ASE extracts. O. hispidus extracts achieved inhibitory activity against acetylcholinesterase (4.12–6.44 mg GALAE/g), tyrosinase (44.78–76.72 mg KAE/g), α-amylase (0.35–0.46 mmol ACAE/g), and α-glucosidase (1.67–1.77 mmol ACAE/g) enzymes. LC-MS technique was used for the quantitative analysis of the extracts, allowing the quantification of chlorogenic acid, neochlorogenic acid, and p-coumaric acid, rutin, luteolin, and kaempferol 3-O-glucoside as the most abundant phenolic components. Results suggested that the green extraction techniques for obtaining extracts that are rich in bioactive compounds have advantages compared to conventional extraction. Therefore, these extracts can be used as antioxidants, neuroprotective, antityrosinase, and antidiabetic agents while respecting the principles of sustainable development and green chemistry.

abstract = "The plant species Opopanax hispidus is known in traditional Turkish medicine and nutrition. In addition to all the advantages that are known by the traditions of old generations, O. hispidus has been insufficiently examined, and its potential could be used in treatment in modern medicine and diet. In this paper, O. hispidus extracts obtained by conventional (maceration (MAC), and Soxhlet (SOX)) and contemporary (accelerated solvent extraction (ASE), homogenizer assisted extraction (HAE), microwave-assisted extraction (MAE), ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE), supercritical fluid extraction (SFE)) methods were examined in terms of their chemical composition and biological potential. The extract obtained by HAE extraction had the highest content of total phenolics and flavonoids (36.98 mg GAE/g and 15.04 mg RE/g, respectively). The highest antioxidant activity was recorded for HAE and ASE extracts. O. hispidus extracts achieved inhibitory activity against acetylcholinesterase (4.12–6.44 mg GALAE/g), tyrosinase (44.78–76.72 mg KAE/g), α-amylase (0.35–0.46 mmol ACAE/g), and α-glucosidase (1.67–1.77 mmol ACAE/g) enzymes. LC-MS technique was used for the quantitative analysis of the extracts, allowing the quantification of chlorogenic acid, neochlorogenic acid, and p-coumaric acid, rutin, luteolin, and kaempferol 3-O-glucoside as the most abundant phenolic components. Results suggested that the green extraction techniques for obtaining extracts that are rich in bioactive compounds have advantages compared to conventional extraction. Therefore, these extracts can be used as antioxidants, neuroprotective, antityrosinase, and antidiabetic agents while respecting the principles of sustainable development and green chemistry.",

AB  - The green synthesis of nanoparticles using various plant materials expands the horizons of phytochemists while discouraging the use of toxic chemicals. In this paper, we present a low-cost and environmentally friendly method for producing silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) by using Alhagi persarum flowers (APF) extracts as both a reducing and capping agent for the first time. The bioactive compounds in the extract were characterized using UHPLC-DAD-QqQ-MS/MS, leading to the identification of 18 compounds, including flavonoids, phenolic acids, and alkaloids, with a total phenolic content of 12.17±0.16 mg GAE/g and a total flavonoid content of 23.09±0.33 mg RE/g. The surface plasmon resonance band in UV-vis spectroscopy was used to determine the formation of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) in the reaction mixture. Fourier transmission infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy was used to identify the active biomolecules responsible for the reduction and the stabilization of AgNPs synthesized in APF extract. The crystalline structure of metallic silver ions and the presence of pure elemental silver ions were revealed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and EDX analysis, respectively. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) were used to determine the morphology and topography of the AgNPs. Additionally, the synthesized AgNPs were found to have antimicrobial activity against multidrug-resistant Gram-positive (Staphylococcus aureus), Gram-negative (Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa), and fungus (Candida albicans) clinically isolated human pathogens. Furthermore, the AgNPs were tested for antioxidant activity (DPPH and SO) and cytotoxicity on human breast adenosarcoma cells (MCF-7). Taken together, these results suggest that biosynthesized AgNPs could be used as a potential therapeutic formulation for bacterial infections and breast cancer.

AB  - Chamomile is one of the most consumed medicinal plants worldwide. Various chamomile preparations are widely used in various branches of both traditional and modern pharmacy. However, in order to obtain an extract with a high content of the desired components, it is necessary to optimize key extraction parameters. In the present study, optimization of process parameters was performed using the artificial neural networks (ANN) model using a solid-to-solvent ratio, microwave power and time as inputs, while the outputs were the yield of the total phenolic compounds (TPC). Optimized extraction conditions were as follows: a solid-to-solvent ratio of 1:80, microwave power of 400 W, extraction time of 30 min. ANN predicted the content of the total phenolic compounds, which was later experimentally confirmed. The extract obtained under optimal conditions was characterized by rich composition and high biological activity. Additionally, chamomile extract showed promising properties as growth media for probiotics. The study could make a valuable scientific contribution to the application of modern statistical designs and modelling to improve extraction techniques

AB  - This study was designed to investigate the impact of different extraction solvent systems on the chemical composition and biological activities of Allium scorodoprasum L. (Amaryllidaceae)-the medicinal plant that was traditionally used as a remedy in the medieval period in the Balkans. Targeted chemical analysis of nine different extracts was performed by UHPLC(-)HESI-QqQ-MS/MS. Antimicrobial and antibiofilm activities of the extracts were investigated on sixteen clinical isolates of bacteria, yeasts and dermatomycetes, all isolated from infected human skin and corneal formations. Cytotoxicity and wound-healing properties were tested on human immortalized keratinocytes (HaCaT cell line). Antioxidant activity was assessed by six different assays, while beneficial potential against certain neurodegenerative diseases and type 2 diabetes was determined in selected enzyme inhibition assays coupled with molecular modeling. The results showed that the obtained extracts were rich in phenolic compounds, especially flavonoid glycosides such as rutin and kaempferol 3-O-glucoside. All of the extracts showed antimicrobial, wound-healing, antioxidant and anti-enzymatic properties. This study is the first of its kind, linking the medieval medicinal use of wild-growing flowers of A. scorodoprasum with contemporary in vitro scientific approaches.

AB  - Despite the significant advances in drug development we are witnessing the inability of health systems to combat both neurodegenerative diseases and cancers, especially glioblastoma. Hence, natural products are comprehen-sively studied in order to provide novel therapeutic options. This study aimed to explore anti-neurodegenerative and anti-glioblastoma potential of extract of Phlomis fruticosa L. using in vitro model systems. It was found that the methanol extract of P. fruticosa was able to efficiently reduce activities of enzymes linked to neurodegenera-tive disease including acetylcholinesterase, butyrylcholinesterase and tyrosinase. Furthermore, P. fruticosa extract has shown excellent antioxidant potential, as evidenced by six different methods. Analysis of cytotoxic effect of P. fruticosa extract on A172 glioblastoma cell line revealed that the concentration of the extract necessary for 50 % inhibition of A172 growth (IC50) was 710 μg/mL. The extract did not induce changes in proliferation and morphology of A172 glioblastoma cells. On the other side, production of ROS was increased in A172 cells treated with the extract. Observed cytotoxic effect of P. fruticosa extract might be based on increase in ROS generation upon treatment. Quantitative chemical analysis revealed the presence of twelve different polyphenols with the cis 3-O-caffeoylquinic acid being the most abundant. This study provided scientific evidence for further exploration of P. fruticosa as a promising natural anti-neurodegenerative therapeutic option.

AB  - Piliostigma thonningii (Fabaceae) is a versatile medicinal plant used as a traditional remedy, especially in African countries. In the present study, ethyl acetate, methanolic and water extracts of different parts of (fruits, leaves, stem barks) P. thonningii were evaluated for their bioactive contents, enzyme inhibitory, antioxidant and antimicrobial activities. Antioxidant potentials were also displayed in various methods like phosphomolybdenum assay (0.79–5.94 mmol TE/g), radical scavenging assays (DPPH: 20.39–471.28 mg TE/g; ABTS: 42.43–654.14 mg TE/g); reducing assays (CUPRAC: 102.98–1207.42 mg TE/g; FRAP: 45.30–656.25 mg TE/g) and metal chelating activity (2.55–22.32 mg EDTAE/g). In particular, the methanolic and water extracts showed better antioxidant potential. Except for a few, the extracts were also found to act as inhibitors of enzymes such as acetylcholinesterase (2.35–5.35 mg GALAE/g), butyrylcholinesterase (0.83–13.80 mg GALAE/g), tyrosinase (4.03–143.86 mg KAE/g), amylase (0.21–1.39 mmol ACAE/g) and glucosidase (3.52–7.13 mmol ACAE/g). Additionally, all the tested extracts possessed significant antibacterial (minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentration: 0.11–0.61 mg/ml) and antifungal (MIC and minimum fungicidal concentration: 0.04–0.61 mg/ml) effects. Indeed, the data garnered from the present study provides a bright scope for the advanced investigation on this particular plant possessing pharmacologically active traits.

Additionally, all the tested extracts possessed significant antibacterial (minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentration: 0.11–0.61 mg/ml) and antifungal (MIC and minimum fungicidal concentration: 0.04–0.61 mg/ml) effects. Indeed, the data garnered from the present study provides a bright scope for the advanced investigation on this particular plant possessing pharmacologically active traits.",

AB  - The methanolic and water extracts of Carapa procera leaves and stem barks were screened for their phytochemical content using a multi-technique approach. The extracts were also assessed for their in vitro antioxidant capacity along with their anti-diabetic (α-amylase, α-glucosidase), anti-tyrosinase, anti-elastase and anti-cholinesterase (AChE, BChE) activities. Furthermore, antibacterial and antifungal effects were determined against several bacterial and fungal strains. Data Integration Analysis for Biomarker discovery using Latent components (DIABLO) integrative analysis was conducted on collected data to determine the influence of extraction solvents and plant parts on phytochemical content, antioxidant properties and enzyme inhibitory properties of C. procera samples. Additionally, the major identified compounds were screened as modulators of multiple pathways involved in human diseases via Gene Ontology (GO) enrichment analysis. Results showed that methanolic stem bark extract exhibited the most potent ABTS scavenging, Cu2+ and Fe3+ reducing power, total antioxidant capacity and Fe2+ chelating power and displayed the highest total flavanol content. Methanolic extracts of leaves and stem barks were abounded with phenolics and had the greatest anti-AChE, anti-BChE, anti-tyrosinase and anti-elastase activities. A significant antifungal activity was observed, with the lowest minimum inhibitory concentration and minimum fungicidal values of 0.07 and 0.15 mg/mL, respectively. DIABLO integrative analysis suggested that the phytochemical content and biological activities varied significantly within the plant parts and were influenced by types of solvent used. GO enrichment analysis on the main bioactive compounds showed modulation of multiple pathways associated with cancer. Obtained results demonstrated that stem bark and leaves of C. procera can be considered as promising sources of bioactive molecules with high pharmacological values.

AB  - The article reports the chemical composition, antioxidant, six key enzymes inhibitory and antimicrobial
activities of two solvent extracts (water and methanol) of leaves and stem bark of Uapaca togoensis. For chemical composition, methanol extract of stem bark exhibited significant higher total phenolic (129.86 mg GAE/g) and flavanol (10.44 mg CE/g) contents. Methanol extract of leaves and water extract of stem bark showed high flavonoids (20.94 mg RE/g) and phenolic acid (90.40 mg CAE/g) content, respectively. In addition, HPLC-ESI-TOFMS analysis revealed that U. togoensis was rich in procyanidins. The methanol and water extracts of stem bark had overall superior antioxidant activity; however, only methanol extract of stem bark showed higher inhibition of cholinesterase (AChE: 2.57 mg GALAE/g; BChE: 4.69 mg GALAE/g), tyrosinase (69.53 mg KAE/g) and elastase (2.73 mmol CE/g). Potent metal chelating ability was showed by water extract of leaves (18.94 mg EDTAE/g), higher inhibition of amylase was detected for water extracts of leaves (0.94 mmol ACAE/g) and stem bark (0.92 mmol ACAE/g). The tested extracts have shown wide-spectrum antibacterial properties and these effects have shown to be more effective against Aspergillus ochraceus, Penicillium funiculosum, Trichoderma viride, Bacillus cereus, Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The results revealed that the antioxidant, enzyme inhibitory and antimicrobial activities depended on the extraction solvents and the parts of plant. Bioinformatics analysis on the 17 major compounds showed modulation of pathway associated with cancer. In brief, U. togoensis might be valuable as potential source of natural agents for therapeutic application.

AB  - Structural diversity of biologically active compounds identified in plants after many years of storage is rarely reported in literature. Herein, we studied chemical profile and biological activities of Phlomis fruticosa L. after plant material storage for 20 years. Chemical analyzes were performed by UHPLC-LTQ-Orbitrap/MS, and revealed presence of 44 compounds: including 13 phenolic acids, 9 phenylethanoids, 20 flavonoids and 2 phenolic related compounds (a phenolic acid derivative and an aliphatic alcohol). The extract showed antimicrobial activity, being the most potent against Aspergillus fumigatus with minimum inhibitory concentration of 0.31 mg/mL. Also, the extract was able to inhibit biofilm formed by Candida species and to inhibit biofilm formation by Staphylococcus aureus. Obtained results revealed that the extract has potential to interfere with the cell membrane permeability of Candida albicans and to suppress production of virulence factor staphyloxanthin in S. aureus. Furthermore, the extract inhibited the activity of α-amylase which is one of the therapeutic targets for diabetes type II. Also, the antiproliferative effect of the extract was demonstrated on human cancer cell lines, while the extract did not exhibit any cytotoxic effect on primary human cells. Based on the obtained results, P. fruticosa could be an interesting source of biologically active compounds even after long term storage.

AB  - Solanum erianthum D. Don. and S. torvum Swartz of the family Solanaceae have been extensively used for both food and pharmaceutical purposes. In this study, a metabolomic approach was used to compare the phytochemical composition and biological activity of the different plant parts of both species. The inhibitory activity against important enzymes (i.e., cholinesterases, tyrosinase, α-amylase and α-glucosidase), antimicrobial and antifungal potentials, in vitro antioxidant activity, as well as the phenolic and alkaloid profiles of the fruit, leaf and stem bark extracts of both species were studied. The results showed that the stem barks were characterized by the highest amounts of total phenolics (on average: 12.6 mg/g), whilst the S. erianthum leaves were the best source of total alkaloids (2.1 mg/g). Overall, the stem bark extracts of both species were found to be a good source of antioxidant compounds. All the extracts were effective against acetylcholinesterase and tyrosinase, while only the leaf extracts of both plants were a good source of butyrylcholinesterase inhibitors. The extracts have significant anti-microbial and anti-fungal potentials. A modest anti-diabetic effect was measured for α-amylase and α-glucosidase. Strong correlations (p <0.01) were found between the bioactives and the biological activities. Therefore, this study showed the potential of untargeted metabolomics to investigate the bioactive profile of plant extracts, thus providing discrimination between S. erianthum and S. torvum.

AB  - Seseli L. is one of the largest genera of the Apiaceae family widely known for their traditional uses as herbal remedies. In the present study, the methanolic and water extracts of two Seseli species, S. gummiferum and S. transcaucasicum were evaluated for their bioactive contents and biological activities. The total phenolic and flavonoid contents in the extracts ranged from 19.09 to 24.33 mg GAE/g and from 0.45 to10.09 mg RE/g, respectively. Moreover, while narcissin was detected as the most abundant component in the methanolic extract of S. transcaucasicum (261.40 µg/g), chlorogenic acid was identified as the major component in all the other extracts, although a high amount was also present in the methanolic S. transcaucasicum extract (107.48–243.12 µg/g). The total antioxidant capacity was also determined by the phosphomolybdenum assay (0.66–1.18 mM TE/g). Other antioxidant assays such as the radical scavenging assays (DPPH: 5.51–11.45 mg TE/g; ABTS: 43.46–51.91 mg TE/g), reducing assays (CUPRAC: 41.67–53.20 mg TE/g; FRAP: 31.26–34.14 mg TE/g), as well as the metal chelating activity assay (14.38–38.57 mg EDTAE/g) were conducted. All the extracts showed inhibitory potential against the enzyme’s amylase (0.12–0.78 mM ACAE/g), acetyl-and butyryl-cholinesterase (0.15–9.71 mg GALAE/g), while only the methanolic extracts acted as inhibitors of tyrosinase (107.15 and 109.37 mg KAE/g) and only the water extract of S. gummiferum displayed anti-glucosidase activity (0.13 mM ACAE/g). Interestingly, the methanolic extracts of both Seseli species showed lower cytotoxicity towards HaCaT cells (IC50: >500 µg/mL), compared to the water extracts (IC50: 267.8 and 321.41 µg/mL). Besides, only the methanolic extracts showed a slight wound healing effect (28.21 and 31.23%). All extracts showed antibacterial action against Staphylococcus lugdunensis (minimum inhibitory and bactericidal concentrations: 0.025–2 mg/mL). S. gummiferum methanolic extract, which exhibited the highest antibacterial potency was found to inhibit adhesion and invasion of S. lugdunensis to HaCaT cells as well. Taken together, this study demonstrated the two Seseli species to harbour interesting bioactive components, in particular polyphenolics and to exhibit several biological properties that could be further investigated for their potential exploitation as healing agents as supported by various traditional medicinal uses.

abstract = "Seseli L. is one of the largest genera of the Apiaceae family widely known for their traditional uses as herbal remedies. In the present study, the methanolic and water extracts of two Seseli species, S. gummiferum and S. transcaucasicum were evaluated for their bioactive contents and biological activities. The total phenolic and flavonoid contents in the extracts ranged from 19.09 to 24.33 mg GAE/g and from 0.45 to10.09 mg RE/g, respectively. Moreover, while narcissin was detected as the most abundant component in the methanolic extract of S. transcaucasicum (261.40 µg/g), chlorogenic acid was identified as the major component in all the other extracts, although a high amount was also present in the methanolic S. transcaucasicum extract (107.48–243.12 µg/g). The total antioxidant capacity was also determined by the phosphomolybdenum assay (0.66–1.18 mM TE/g). Other antioxidant assays such as the radical scavenging assays (DPPH: 5.51–11.45 mg TE/g; ABTS: 43.46–51.91 mg TE/g), reducing assays (CUPRAC: 41.67–53.20 mg TE/g; FRAP: 31.26–34.14 mg TE/g), as well as the metal chelating activity assay (14.38–38.57 mg EDTAE/g) were conducted. All the extracts showed inhibitory potential against the enzyme’s amylase (0.12–0.78 mM ACAE/g), acetyl-and butyryl-cholinesterase (0.15–9.71 mg GALAE/g), while only the methanolic extracts acted as inhibitors of tyrosinase (107.15 and 109.37 mg KAE/g) and only the water extract of S. gummiferum displayed anti-glucosidase activity (0.13 mM ACAE/g). Interestingly, the methanolic extracts of both Seseli species showed lower cytotoxicity towards HaCaT cells (IC50: >500 µg/mL), compared to the water extracts (IC50: 267.8 and 321.41 µg/mL). Besides, only the methanolic extracts showed a slight wound healing effect (28.21 and 31.23%). All extracts showed antibacterial action against Staphylococcus lugdunensis (minimum inhibitory and bactericidal concentrations: 0.025–2 mg/mL). S. gummiferum methanolic extract, which exhibited the highest antibacterial potency was found to inhibit adhesion and invasion of S. lugdunensis to HaCaT cells as well. Taken together, this study demonstrated the two Seseli species to harbour interesting bioactive components, in particular polyphenolics and to exhibit several biological properties that could be further investigated for their potential exploitation as healing agents as supported by various traditional medicinal uses.",

AB  - The impact of two extraction solvents on the phenolic composition, antioxidant, and enzymes inhibitory and antimicrobial activities of two parts (leaves and stem bark) of P. kotschyi was studied. Two different LC-DAD-MSn approaches were used to identify and quantify the bioactive compounds in the different extracts. A total of thirty-two compounds were quantified, being the procyanidin the most abundant in stem bark while catechin and flavonoids are most abundant in leaves. Overall, the stem bark extraction using methanol showed higher amounts of total phenolic (131.83 ± 1.81 mg GAE/g) and flavanol (14.14 ± 0.11 mg CE/g) while the leaves extraction using water exhibited stronger levels of total flavonoid (44.95 ± 0.38 mg RE/g) and phenolic acid (63.58 ± 2.00 mg CAE/g). As regards the antioxidant assays, methanol stem bark extracts were characterized by the highest antioxidant activities (DPPH: 1.94 ± 0.01 mmol TE/g, ABTS: 3.31 ± 0.01 mmol TE/g, FRAP: 2.86 ± 0.02 mmol TE/g, CUPRAC: 5.09 ± 0.08 mmol TE/g, phosphomolybdenum: 5.16 ± 0.23 mmol TE/g and metal chelating: 17.12 ± 0.46 mg EDTAE/g). In addition, the methanolic extracts of stem bark had highest impact on acetylcholinesterase (2.54 mg GALAE/g), butyrylcholinesterase (5.48 mg GALAE/g). In contrast, the methanolic extracts of leaves was potent against tyrosinase (77.39 ± 0.21 mg KAE/g) and α-glucosidase (0.97 ± 0.01 mmol ACAE/g), while a higher anti-α–amylase (0.97 ± 0.01 mmol ACAE/g) was observed for water extracts of the same part. All of the tested extracts showed inhibitory effects on elastase, except methanolic leaves extracts. Additionally, the extracts exhibited appreciable antifungal toward A. ochraceus, A. fumigatus, P. ochrochloron, T. viride, and P. funiculosum and promising antibacterial activity against M. flavus, S. aureus, L. monocytogenes, E. coli, P. aeruginosa, E. cloacae, and S. typhimurium. Taken together, the outcomes demonstrated P. kotschyi as a novel source of bioactive molecules of interest with an evident therapeutic value.

AB  - In this paper, the methanol and water extracts of Phyllanthus reticulatus Poir. leaves and stem bark parts were considered as the source of bioactive constituents; thus, chemical analysis and bioactivity assays were performed. UPLC-ESI-QTOF/MS analysis allowed the identification of phytoconstituents in the various extracts, including 19 phenolic acids, 27 flavonoids, 20 tannins and 4 iridoids. The methanol extract of stem bark presented a higher antioxidant activity (DPPH: 3.04 mmol TE g(-1); ABTS: 4.72 mmol TE g(-1); CUPRAC: 3.61 mmol TE g(-1) and FRAP: 1.64 mmol TE g(-1)) compared with other extracts. The highest inhibitory effects (AChE: 2.56 mg GALAE g(-1); tyrosinase: 76.25 mg KAE g(-1); amylase: 0.71 mmol ACAE g(-1); glucosidase: 0.98 mmol ACAE g(-1) and elastase: 2.64 mg CE g(-1)) were also recorded by the methanol extract of stem bark. The bacteriostatic (MIC) and bactericidal (MBC) effects of the extracts obtained from different plant parts and using different solvents were evaluated using clinically relevant microorganisms and the measured values were in the range of the activity measured for the reference compounds streptomycin and ampicillin. Bioinformatics analysis was performed to predict the potential toxicity of the identified compounds as well as potential targets of bioactivity. Five of the major compounds, erythrin, gardenoside, phlorizin, sesamoside and veracylglucan B, were identified as possible modulators of necroptosis pathways. Besides, particular attention must be paid to some identified compounds (i.e. icariin, isomyricitrin, methylmyricetin rhamnoside-gallate, rhapontin, silybin, xyloccensin R, vanilloylajugol) because of their probable immunotoxicity predicted properties. Our results could provide a great scientific starting point on the way from the bench to functional applications through the use of P. reticulatus, namely novel nutraceuticals, pharmaceuticals and cosmeceuticals.

AB  - The genus Consolida is one of the most important within the Ranunculaceae family and several members of this genus contain important biologically active compounds, such as phenolics and alkaloids. The present study attempts for the first time to assess the biological properties and phytochemical constituents of six Consolida species (C. glandulosa (Boiss. & A. Huet) Bornm, C. hellospontica (Boiss.) Chater, C. raveyi (Boiss.) Schrödinger, C. regalis (Boiss.) Schrödinger, C. staminosa P.H. Davis & Sorger and C. stenocarpa (P.H. Davis & M. Hossain) P.H. Davis) growing in Turkey. A comprehensive phytochemical profiling of the different species was achieved by using an ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole time-of-flight (UHPLC-QTOF) mass spectrometry, targeting polyphenols and diterpene alkaloids. Also, the in vitro antioxidant assays (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), 2,2′-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulphonic acid (ABTS), ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP), cupric reducing antioxidant capacity (CUPRAC), metal chelating and phosphomolybdenum) and enzyme inhibition (cholinesterases, tyrosinase, α-amylase, and α-glucosidase) potentials of the different Consolida methanolic extracts were evaluated. The UHPLC-QTOF profiling revealed 492 compounds, being 236 flavonoids, 93 phenolic acids, 78 tyrosol derivatives, 49 diterpene alkaloids, 29 lignans, and 7 stilbenes. The cumulative phenolic content ranged from 17.65 mg Eq./g for C. staminosa up to 43.04 mg Eq./g for C. glandulosa, whilst the total diterpene alkaloids content was exclusively found in C. glandulosa extracts (3.53 mg Eq./g). Consolida regalis (58. 61 mg trolox equivalent (TE)/g for DPPH and 65.38 mg TE/g for ABTS) and C. stenocarpa (46.81 mg TE/g for DPPH and 78.12 mg TE/g for ABTS) exhibited the highest anti-radical abilities, while the best reducing power values were recorded for C. glandulosa (129.46 mg TE/g for CUPRAC and 77.01 mg TE/g for FRAP) and C. raveyi (124.56 mg TE/g for CUPRAC and 78.36 mg TE/g for FRAP). Also, following the cholinesterases inhibition assays, C. hellospontica and C. glandulosa exhibited the highest inhibitory effects. Regarding tyrosinase inhibitory effects, C. raveyi showed the highest value, being 126.60 mg kojic acid equivalent (KAE)/g, followed by C. glandulosa (125.82 mg KAE/g) and C. stenocarpa (123.09 mg KAE/g). Besides, Consolida staminosa showed potential inhibition against α-amylase, but low glucosidase inhibitory properties. Therefore, the present findings could provide a starting point for further investigations to promote the industrial exploitation of these species with the aim of designing novel phyto-pharmaceuticals.

AB  - This study explored the chemical profile of the aerial parts of Ononis spinosa and further investigated its biological activities. Chemical profiling of the extract revealed the presence of 63 different compounds: phenolic acids, flavonoid glycosides and aglycones, isoflavonoid glycosides and aglycones, and other related compounds. Our results revealed that the extract was active against 8 strains of free floating bacteria. It showed anti-biofilm potential against Staphylococcus aureus and was able to supress the production of staphyloxanthin in S. aureus at sub-minimal inhibitory concentrations. Its antioxidant activity was evaluated by using several assays (phosphomolybdenum, DPPH, ABTS, CUPRAC, FRAP, and metal chelating assay), which showed that the extract exhibited a dose dependent activity. Inhibition of AChE, BChE, amylase, glucosidase and tyrosinase was achieved by the extract, demonstrating its anti-enzymatic activity. The antiproliferative potential of the extract towards human cancer cell lines (HepG2, MCF-7, SiHa and A172) was determined by using the crystal violet assay. Ki67, a marker of proliferation was downregulated in the A172 glioblastoma cell line.

AB  - Mangrove forests exemplify a multifaceted ecosystem since they do not only play a crucial ecological role but also possess medicinal properties. Methanolic, ethyl acetate and aqueous leaf and bark extracts were prepared using homogenizer-assisted extraction (HAE), infusion and maceration (with and without stirring). The different extracts were screened for phytochemical profiling and antioxidant capacities in terms of radical scavenging (DPPH, ABTS), reducing potential (CUPRAC, FRAP), total antioxidant capacity and chelating power. Additionally, R. racemosa was evaluated for its anti-diabetic (α-amylase, α-glucosidase), anti-tyrosinase and anti-cholinesterase (AChE, BChE) activities. Additionally, antimycotic and antibacterial effects were investigated against Eescherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Salmonella typhimurium, Listeria monocytogenes, Enterobacter cloacae, Bacillus cereus, Micrococcus luteus, Staphylococcus aureus, Aspergillus fumigatus, Aspergillus niger, Trichoderma viride, Penicillium funiculosum, Penicillium ochrochloron and Penicillium verrucosum. Finally, based on phytochemical fingerprint, in silico studies, including bioinformatics, network pharmacology and docking approaches were conducted to predict the putative targets, namely tyrosinase, lanosterol-14-α-demethylase and E. coli DNA gyrase, underlying the observed bio-pharmacological and microbiological effects. The methanolic leave and bark extracts (prepared by both HAE and maceration) abounded with phenolics, flavonoids, phenolic acids and flavonols. Results displayed that both methanolic leaf and bark extracts (prepared by HAE) exhibited the highest radical scavenging, reducing potential and total antioxidant capacity. Furthermore, our findings showed that the highest enzymatic inhibitory activity recorded was with the tyrosinase enzyme. In this context, bioinformatics analysis predicted putative interactions between tyrosinase and multiple secondary metabolites including apigenin, luteolin, vitexin, isovitexin, procyanidin B, quercetin and methoxy-trihydroxyflavone. The same compounds were also docked against lanosterol-14α-demethylase and E. Coli DNA gyrase, yielding affinities in the submicromolar–micromolar range that further support the observed anti-microbial effects exerted by the extracts. In conclusion, extracts of R. racemosa may be considered as novel sources of phytoanti-oxidants and enzyme inhibitors that can be exploited as future first-line pharmacophores.

AB  - Even though Salvia genus is one of the most known and studied taxa of Lamiaceae family, the knowledge regarding the chemical composition and health-related benefits of some locally used Salvia species (mostly endemic) is still scarce. In this regard, the present work aims to evaluate the chemical profile and potential bioactivities of 70% (v/v) ethanolic extracts obtained from the less-studied S. transsylvanica and S. glutinosa in comparison with S. officinalis. HPLC-PDA analysis revealed the presence of rutin and catechin as the main compounds in the extracts of the three studied species (using the employed HPLC method), whereas the presence of naringenin was highlighted only in S. glutinosa extract. Chlorogenic acid, rutin and quercetin were identified and quantified for the first time in S. transsylvanica extracts. The in vitro antioxidant capacity of each extract was tested through complementary methods (phosphomolybdenum assay, DPPH, ABTS, CUPRAC and FRAP assays), and correlated with the presence of phenolics (especially flavonoids) in high amounts. The neuroprotective and antidiabetic abilities of S. officinalis (the most active as AChE, BChE and α-glucosidase inhibitor), S. glutinosa (the most active as α-amylase inhibitor) and S. transsylvanica were also studied. For each extract it was determined the antimicrobial, antifungal and cytotoxic effects using in vitro assays. The obtained results confirm the potential of S. transsylvanica and S. glutinosa as promising sources of bioactive compounds and as a starting point for further analyses.

AB  - Several Apiaceae species, used as both food and in complementary and alternative medicine, represents a rich source of potential valuable phytopharmaceuticals which necessitates scientific contemplation. In the present study, the antioxidant, enzyme inhibitory, antimicrobial, and cytotoxic properties of methanol extracts of seven Apiaceae species, (Chaerophyllum macrospermum (Willd. ex Spreng.) Fisch. & C.A.Mey. ex Hohen, Ferula rigidula Fisch. ex DC., Ferula orientalis L., Prangos ferulacea Lindl., Prangos peucedanifolia Fenzl., Ferulago setifolia K. Koch, and Pimpinella anthriscoides Boiss.) were evaluated. Species belonging to the Prangos genus exhibited the highest total phenolic content, namely P. peucedanifolia and P. ferulacea, with values of 47.90 and 44.44 mg gallic acid equivalent/g extract, respectively. P. peucedanifolia also displayed the highest radical scavenging capacity (81.53 and 102.70 mg Trolox equivalent [TE]/g extract for 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and 2,2′-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulphonic acid (ABTS), respectively) and reducing power (165.87 and 100.09 mg TE/g extract for cupric reducing antioxidant capacity (CUPRAC) and ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP), respectively). C. macrospermum showed the most potent inhibition against Alzheimer's disease related enzymes, namely acetylcholinesterase (4.53 mg galantamine equivalent [GALAE]/g extract) and butyrylcholinesterase (3.22 mg GALAE/g extract). P. ferulacea (131.94 mg kojic acid (KAE) equivalent/g extract) and P. peucedanifolia (4.97 mmol acarbose equivalent (ACAE)/g extract) were potent inhibitors of tyrosinase and α-glucosidase, respectively. In general, studied species were able to reduce cellular viabilities. P. peucedanifolia possessed promising antibacterial potential against Bacillus cereus (Minimum inhibition concentration (MIC): 0.37 mg/mL), L. monocytogenes (MIC: 0.56 mg/mL), P. aeruginosa and Escherichia coli (MIC: 0.27 mg/mL), Salmonella typhimurium and Enterobacter cloacae (MIC: 0.75 mg/mL). F. rigidula showed the highest antifungal effect against Aspergillus ochraceus and Trichoderma viride (MIC: 0.10 mg/mL). The present findings could be the scientific starting point towards the pharmaceutical and/or commercial utilization of these Apiaceae species.

AB  - The growing awareness on implications related to the use of harsh chemicals and non-sustainable extraction
methods of bioactive compounds from plants is causing a paradigm shift towards a more eco-friendly approach.
The present study sets out to investigate the possible variation in the antioxidant, mutagenic/antimutagenic,
antimicrobial, and enzyme inhibitory properties of Origanum vulgare subsp. viridulum extracts obtained using
conventional, namely, maceration and Soxhlet extraction, and non-conventional, namely, ultrasound-assisted
(UAE), microwave-assisted (MAE), and accelerated solvent extraction (ASE), techniques. Also, chemical char-
acterization of these extracts were performed via ultrahigh-performance liquid chromatography and mass
spectrometry (UHPLC-LTQ OrbiTrap MS) technique. A total of 58 polyphenols were identified in the tested
extracts. Highest phenolic content was obtained from ASE (186.63 mg gallic acid equivalent [GAE]/g) and MAE
(170.90 mg GAE/g) extracts. Maceration extract (18.89 mg rutin equivalent [RE]/g) showed highest flavonoid
content. ASE extract showed highest activity in the DPPH (359.45 mg Trolox equivalent [TE]/g), ABTS
(679.63 mg TE/g), FRAP (1433.94 mg TE/g), and CUPRAC (1685.72 mg TE/g) assays. In terms of enzyme in-
hibition, the UAE extract showed highest activity against acetyl cholinesterase (4.55 mg galantamine equivalent
[GALAE]/g), butyryl cholinesterase (6.12 mg GALAE/g), and tyrosinase (173.87 mg kojic acid equivalent
[KAE]/g) compared with the other extracts. The extracts exhibited significant antimutagenic and antimicrobial
properties. Data collected from this study support the use of ASE and UAE in the extraction of bioactive com-
pounds from Origanum vulgare subsp. viridulum aerial parts.

AB  - Tanacetum parthenium (L.) Sch.Bip (TP), a flowering plant, is famous in traditional medicine to prevent migraine and headache. However, there is currently a dearth of studies to advocate the phytochemical profile and bio- logical propensities of extracts prepared from this plant. This study endeavors to highlight the biological po- tential of TP extracts prepared by modern (ultrasound-UAE, microwave-MAE and accelerated-ASE extractions) and traditional (maceration and Soxhlet) extraction techniques. The chemical profile of the extracts was es- tablished via ultra-high-pressure liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC-MS/MS) technique. Sixty different polyphenolic compounds belonging to the classes of phenolic acids, flavonoid glycosides and flavonoid aglycones were recorded in the extracts. Additionally, the quantity of 17 components was measured using appropriate standards and it was found that the modern extraction gave extracts with the higher content of observed compounds than the traditional techniques. Evaluation of antioxidant activity was determined in vitro via five standard assays. The inhibitory potential of TP extracts against key enzymes implicated in the non- communicable diseases such as diabetes (α-amylase and α-glucosidase), neurodegenerative diseases (acetyl- and butyrylcholinesterase) and skin diseases (tyrosinase), was assessed. Potent antioxidant ability of all TP extract was revealed with a predominance for the extracts yielded using the ASE method. This potent antioxidant activity of the extracts corroborated with the high phenolic (65.05 ± 0.27 mg gallic acid equivalent (GAE)/g extract) and flavonoid contents (55.40 ± 0.52 mg rutin equivalent (RE)/g extract). Tanacetum parthenium ex- tracts also showed significant α-glucosidase inhibitory activity (1.63–1.67 mmol acarbose equivalent (ACAE)/g extract) and moderate inhibition activity against α-amylase (0.51-0.56 mmol ACAE/g extract). The extracts also showed potent activity against cholinesterases and tyrosinase. This study tend to validate the use of TP extracts obtained by novel extraction techniques such as ASE, as potent bioactive extracts to be further studied for therapeutic bio-product development.

AB  - Tragopogon dubius and Tussilago farfara are consumed as vegetables and used in folk medicine to manage common diseases. Herein, the chemical compositions and biological activities of different leaf extracts (ethyl acetate, methanol, and water) of T. dubius and T. farfara were evaluated. The antibacterial, antifungal, and antioxidant abilities of the extracts were tested using different assays including free radical scavenging, reducing power, phosphomolybdenum, and metal chelating assays. Enzyme inhibitory potentials were evaluated against cholinesterases, tyrosinase, α-amylase and α-glucosidase. Complexes of bioactive compounds (chlorogenic and rosmarinic acid) were docked into the enzymatic cavity of α-glucosidase and subjected to molecular dynamic calculation, enzyme conformational stability, and flexibility analysis. T. dubius and T. farfara extracts showed remarkable antioxidant potentials. Ethyl acetate extracts of T. dubius and T. farfara were the most potent inhibitors of acetylcholinesterase and butyrylcholinesterase. T. dubius ethyl acetate extract and T. farfara methanolic extract showed noteworthy activity against α-glucosidase. High performance liquid chromatography analysis revealed the abundance of some phenolic compounds including chlorogenic and rosmarinic acids. Ethyl acetate extract of T. dubius showed notable antifungal activity against all strains. Docking studies showed best pose for chlorogenic acid was stabilized by a network of hydrogen bonds with residues Asp1157, Asp1279, whereas rosmarinic acid showed several hydrogen bonds with Asp1157, Asp1420, Asp1526, Lys1460 and Trp1369. This study further validates the use of T. dubius and T. farfara in traditional medicine, as well as act as a stimulus for further studies for future biomedicine development.
