Red propolis: Chemical composition and pharmacological activity

The prospect of creating a new medicine with psychotropic activity is shown as a result of studying the chemical composition and pharmacological activity of modified dry extracts of motherwort (Leonurus cardiaca L.) tincture. The most promising substances were the dry extracts, modified by adding small amounts of arginine, valine, phenylalanine, glycine, lysine, and alanine. A total of 15 main phenolic substances were found in the extracts, and eight of them were identified. There were also 10 hydroxycinnamic acids in these extracts, three of which were identified (chlorogenic, caffeic, and rosmarinic acids). The dominant hydroxycinnamic acids were chlorogenic and caffeic acids. Among flavonoids, catechin, hyperoside, and rutin were identified. It should be noted that the extracts had a significant content of ellagic acid. On the basis of the results of the phytochemical analysis of the extracts, it can be concluded that the composition of phenolic compounds does not differ significantly, and the main differences are related to amino acids, which obviously have an impact on the overall pharmacological effect. The results obtained indicate the presence of anxiolytic activity in the motherwort extracts studied in complex with amino acids. The extracts with glycine, valine, and arginine were more effective in reducing anxiety in animals.

This mini review focuses on the ethnopharmacology, phytochemical, and biological/pharmacological activity and toxicology of the medicinal plant, Bauhinia forficata reported during 2012–2016. The results confirmed the continuous use of this plant, especially the leaves, for medicinal purposes, particularly as remedies for the treatment of diabetes and other ailments. Other new biological potential was evidenced, including anti-ulcerogenic, hypocholesterolemic, hepatoprotective and diuretic effects. Clinical and toxicological studies have advanced gradually, requiring more detailed experiments, to ensure the safe use of this plant for medication. Some new flavonoids were detected in this species, but significant differences were observed when comparing the chemical composition of its sub-species.
