Dipteryx Alata

Abstract Objectives The legume plant species Dipteryx alata Vog., commonly known as baru, is a tree that grows in the Brazilian savanna. It produces drupe type of fruit and has an edible seed referred to as the baru nut. The baru nut is of interest as it possesses bioactive compounds useful in managing chronic diseases, yet little is known about its composition. Thus, the aim of this study was to determine the phenolic and flavonoid content, as well as antioxidant and radical scavenging capacity of the baru nut. Methods Baru nuts were roasted, pulverized, and freeze-dried prior to polyphenolic extractions, which were performed using 80% ethanol and ultrasonic bath. Baru crude extracts were then purified with chloroform, evaporated, and freeze-dried prior to being assayed. Total phenolic content and total flavonoid content of purified baru polyphenolic extracts were determined using Folin-Ciocalteu reagent and aluminum chloride colorimetric assay, respectively. Antioxidant capacity was measured using Trolox equivalent antioxidant capacity (TEAC) and ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) while 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and oxygen radical absorbance capacity (ORAC) assays were used to determine radical scavenging capacity. Results Total phenolic content of purified baru nut extract was 58 ± 10 μmol gallic acid equivalent/L while total flavonoid content was 7 ± 0 μg quercetin equivalent/mL. The TEAC of purified baru nut extract was 161 ± 5 μmol trolox equivalent (TE)/L, which was higher than its FRAP, 55 ± 0.5 μmol TE/L. Radical scavenging capacity of baru nut extract was 17 ± 3 and 5 ± 7 μmol TE/L according to DPPH and ORAC, respectively. Conclusions Baru nut is rich in polyphenols and has high antioxidant activity. Further research is warranted to determine the antioxidant properties of baru nut in vitro and in vivo. Funding Sources No sources of funding.

Abstract Objectives To characterize strawberry (SB)-derived exosome-like nanovesicles (ELNs), assess the total phenolic content, total flavonoid content, and total antioxidant capacity as well as its uptake by human aortic endothelial cells (HAECs). Methods SB ELNs were extracted using differential centrifugation. After final ultracentrifugation at 100,000 × g for 1 h, pellets were collected and washed in PBS. Characterization was performed using dynamic light scattering measurements. Total phenolic content (TPC) and flavonoid content (TFC) were determined using Folin-Ciocalteu and aluminum chloride, respectively. Antioxidant capacity was determined using the Trolox equivalent antioxidant capacity (TEAC) and ferric reducing ability of plasma (FRAP) assay while free radical scavenging power was measured using 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging capacity assay. Cell viability and uptake were assessed in HAECs. Cell viability was measured after 24-h incubation with SB ELNs using MTT reagent. Cell uptake was measured after 12-h incubation with 100 μg/mL coumarin-6 (C-6) labelled SB ELNs. Fluorescent microscopy and flow cytometry were used to detect cellular uptake of C-6 labelled SB ELNs on a LSR II. Results SB ELNs were sized at 119.4 ± 28.3 nm (PDI = 0.29 ± 0.06). TPC and TFC of SB ELNs were 158.9 ± 22.6 μmol GAE/L and 5.1 ± 0.4 μg QE/mL, respectively. Antioxidant capacity of SB ELNs was 211.38 ± 6.3 μmol TE/L and 118.0 ± 7.6 μmol Fe2+/L by TEAC and FRAP, respectively. DPPH radical scavenging capacity was 181.3 ± 2.5 μmol TE/L in SB ELNs. No cytotoxic effects were observed for SB ELNs in HAECs. Uptake of SB ELNs by HAECs was 15.3% higher compared to baseline levels. Conclusions We report, for the first time, the presence of phenolics and flavonoids in the cargo of SB ELNs, SB ELNs antioxidant capacity, and demonstrate their uptake by HAECs. Taken together, these findings support the need to further characterize and explore the antioxidant potential of SB ELNs in vitro and in vivo. Funding Sources None.

The genetic diversity and antioxidant potential of Panicum miliaceum L. accessions collected from different geo-ecological regions of South Korea were evaluated and compared. Antioxidant potential of seeds was estimated by the 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and 2,2′-azino-bis-3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulfonic acid (ABTS) radical scavenging assays and total phenolic content was determined by the Folin–Ciocalteu method. Total phenolic content (TPC) in 80% methanolic extracts ranged from 16.24 ± 0.86 to 58.04 ± 1.00 mg gallic acid equivalent (GAE)/g of the sample extracts and total flavonoid content (TFC) varied from 7.19 ± 1.05 to 52.56 ± 1.50 mg quercetin equivalents (QE) mg/g of the sample extracts. DPPH radical scavenging capacity of the extracts from the 15 accessions of P. miliaceum varied from 206.44 ± 7.72 to 2490.24 ± 4.641 mg GAE/g of the sample extracts and ABTS radical scavenging capacity ranged from 624.85 ± 13.1 to 1087. 77 ± 9.58 mg GAE/g of the sample extracts. A wide range of genetic variation was observed as measured by Shannon’s information index (I), number of effective alleles (Ne), number of observed alleles (Na), expected heterozygosity (He), unbiased expected heterozygosity (uHe). The observed variation in the bioactive properties, morphological traits, and genetic diversity among the accessions may provide useful information for breeding programs seeking to improve bioactive properties of P. miliaceum.

Sprouts are very rich in antioxidants (e.g. phenolic compounds) and their consumption is beneficial for humans’ health. The sprouts’ antioxidant properties are correlated to conditions of growth and maturity stage. The present study reveals the influence of maturity stage (5-, 7- and 9-day-old) and two sodium salts, NaCl and Na2SO4 (10 mM and 100 mM) on the antioxidant capacity and total phenolic content of cauliflower and broccoli sprouts. The analysed sprouts’ extracts were obtained in two phases, using ethanol 70% with 0.01% hydrochloric acid. In the case of cauliflower, the 7 days germination leads to the highest total phenolic content and radical scavenging capacity. Broccoli sprouts revealed the most enhanced DPPH radical scavenging capacity and total phenolic content at 5-day-old. The two sodium salts, generally, had positive effects on global antioxidant status. It is highlighted both for broccoli and cauliflower, the stimulating effect of 100 mM Na2SO4 on the total phenolic content and soluble dry weight, but the DPPH radical scavenging activity was more important in the case of NaCl, than Na2SO4 treatments, except for cauliflower sprouts treated with 100 mM Na2SO4. In conclusion, germination under adequate salt stress is a protocol to be considered in order to improve antioxidant properties of broccoli and cauliflower sprouts, despite the non-convenient effects on the germination and sprouts growth. Further researches are needed to optimize the level and time periods of such treatments.

Dendrobium amoenum has biologically active phytoconstituents valued for traditional Chinese or folk medicine as tonic. Total phenolic and flavonoid contents of its stem extract was estimated by using Folin-Ciocalteu’s reagent and Aluminium chloride methods respectively. Antioxidant activity was determined by DPPH free radical scavenging method. Total phenolic content found in acetone (134.34 μg GAE/mg extract) and chloroform (101.55 μg GAE/mg extract) extract was significantly higher than other solvent extracts. Similarly, these two extracts had significantly high flavonoid content (acetone: 115.73 μg QE/mg extract, and chloroform: 84.16 μg QE/mg extract). Presence of high phenolic and flavonoid contents in these extracts showed the highest antioxidant activity. Highest antioxidant activity of these extracts was determined by their lowest IC50 value (acetone: 53.19 μg/ml and chloroform: 36.48 μg/ml). Significant negative relationship was found between phenolic content and IC50 (R2 = 0.209, p < 0.01) and flavonoid content and IC50 (R2 = 0.389, p < 0.01), which indicates high antioxidant activity due to high phenolic and flavonoid contents. This result revealed that D. amoenum act as an antioxidant agent due to its free radical scavenging activity which plays a crucial role in the development of new chemotherapeutic agents.

AbstractTotal phenolic, flavonoid, condensed tannin and iridoid content, as well as antioxidant capacityin vitro,were determined spectrophotometrically in methanolic extracts of different plant parts of the Mediterranean medicinal plantGlobularia alypumL. and three widespread European species of the same genus:G. cordifoliaL.,G. meridionalis(Podp.) O. Schwarz andG. punctataLapeyr. In order to consider possible environmental influences on the production of specialized metabolites, each species, exceptG. alypum, was collected from three different natural populations. Great variations in the amounts of specialized metabolites were observed among different plant parts and species. For example, total phenolic content ranged from 10.13 (G. punctata, flowers) to 44.90 (G. cordifolia, flower stems) mg gallic acid equivalent g−1dry weight. Moreover, great differences, attributed to location-specific environmental factors, were observed among different populations of the same species. For example, a strong positive correlation was observed among mean monthly temperatures and total phenolic contents in the leaves of studiedGlobulariaspp. (r = 0.75, p = 0.019). However, despite these differences, all species were rich in bioactive substances when compared toG. alypum, especially in their aerial parts. A very good positive correlation was observed between total phenolic content and DPPH radical scavenging capacity (r = 0.86, p < 0.001)/ABTS radical scavenging capacity (r = 0.83, p < 0.001). The results obtained show thatG. cordifolia,G. meridionalisandG. punctataare rich in bioactive substances, providing support for their pharmaceutical utilization. Further investigations are needed to verify the possibility of their medicinal use.
