The fruits of some Cornus species (dogwoods) are used in traditional medicine and considered potential anti-diabetic and hypolipemic agents. The aim of the study was to determine the ability of extracts from Cornus alba (CA), Cornus florida (CF), and Cornus sanguinea (CS) to inhibit digestive enzymes namely α-amylase, pancreatic lipase, and α-glucosidase, as well as isolation of compounds from plant material with the strongest effect. In addition, the phytochemical profile and antioxidant activity of extracts from three dogwoods were compared with HPLC-DAD-MS/MS and DPPH scavenging assay, respectively. Among the aqueous-ethanolic extracts, the activity of α-amylase was the most strongly inhibited by the fruit extract of CA (IC50 = 115.20 ± 14.31 μg/mL) and the activity of α-glucosidase by the fruit of CF (IC50 = 38.87 ± 2.65 μg/mL). Some constituents of CA fruit extract, such as coumaroylquinic acid, kaempferol, and hydroxytyrosol derivatives, were isolated. Among the three species of dogwood studied, the greatest biological potential was demonstrated by CA extracts, which are sources of phenolic acids and flavonoid compounds. In contrast, iridoid compounds or flavonoid glycosides found in fruits of CF or CS extracts do not play a significant role in inhibiting digestive enzymes but exert antioxidant activity.

Aims: The leafy stem and fruit of P.murex have been reported to be used in folk medicine to treat male reproductive system ailments. This study was undertaken to assess the antioxidant potential of the aqueous extracts of P.murex leafy stem and fruit. Methodology: Extracts were prepared by macerating the powder in water. Total phenolics amount were determined by Folin-Ciocalteu reagent, flavonoids were quantified by aluminum chloride method and total tannin content was estimated by hexacyanoferric method. The in vitro antioxidant activity of the extracts were assessed through 2,2´-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) scavenging assay, reducing power assay, hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) inhibition assay and lipid peroxidation assay. Results: Total phenolic compounds, flavonoids and tannins content were respectively equal to 48.91± 1.67 µg/mg Gallic Acid Equivalents (GAE); 56.01± 0.90 µg/mg Rutin Equivalents (RUE); 16.92± 1.22 µg/mg Tannic Acid Equivalents (TAE) for the leafy stem extract while they were equal to 26.26± 0.54 µg/mg GAE; 47.88± 2.39 µg/mg RUE; 7.94± 0.31 µg/mg TAE for the fruit. The leafy stem extract exhibited a more pronounced DPPH scavenging activity, reducing power, hydrogen peroxide scavenging activity and lipid peroxidation activity than the fruit extract. Conclusion: The antioxidant activity of the leafy stem aqueous extract was significantly more potent than that of the fruit extract. Further studies will find out the extracts pharmacological efficacy and innocuity.

To evaluate the leaf volatile constituents of essential oil of Coleus zeylanicus and evaluate their anti-oxidant and anti-fungal activity. The Chemical composition of Coleus zeylanicus essential oil was determined using GC-MS and FT-IR analytical techniques. The antioxidant activity was evaluated using DPPH scavenging assay. The anti-fungal effect was tested against two potential pathogenic fungal strains - Candida albicans and Malassezia furfur using agar well diffusion method. The essential oil was profiled by the presence of sesquiterpene hydrocarbons 90.67% of their total composition followed by oxygenated monoterpenes and monoterpene hydrocarbons as 5.3% and 2.1% respectively. The GC-MS results showed 14 compounds from Coleus zeylanicus leaf EO representing 98.07% of the total oil composition. The major component was identified as a-Gurjunene (35.94%), a-bisabolol (10.82%) and G-selinene (4.26%). EO showed remarkable antioxidant activity values of IC50 = 59.78± 3.21µg/ml by DPPH scavenging assay. The essential oil showed interesting anti-fungal effects against two pathogenic fungal strains. The most sensible strains to Coleus zeylanicus EO was Malassezia furfur (32.00±0.50mm) compared to that of Candida albicans (15.00±1.25mm). Hence, Coleus zeylanicus EO has potential application against fungal infection and oxidative stress-related diseases. However, further investigations are necessary to isolate and investigate the action mechanism of these bioactive compounds.

Medicinal activities of Thymus vulgaris L. were studied in the underlying research which was conducted in University of Central Punjab, Lahore. The powdered plant sample was collected and subjected to extraction and filtration by dissolving it in seven different solvents and thus the fractions obtained, were used for further analysis. The qualitative and quantitative analysis was carried out which revealed that this plant contained many biologically active compounds like saponin, alkaloids etc. These compounds have enormous bioactive roles. Antimicrobial activity was also determined in which four bacterial strains were used and the susceptibility of all the fractions of plant extract was determined by their inhibition zones which were calculated in mm. The results showed that water and chloroform extracts of plant has highest activity. The antioxidant activity was also determined by DPPH scavenging assay for which different concentrations of all plant extracts were made and their absorbance was noted to measure the percentage inhibition of each concentration, which revealed that this plant has significant antioxidant activity. The results have been represented using statistical approach that revealed that T. vulgaris plant has significant antibacterial and anti-oxidant activities and phytochemical analysis also proved that it has many useful compounds which have voluminous biological activity and these could be used in the formation of novel drugs.

Objective: P. granatum L. is famous for antioxidant activity and utilized as a nourishing foodstuff. This work aimed to recognize the antioxidant activity and TPC in extracts of ripe and unripe fruit juice. Methods: Competency of the solvents (water, methanol, acetone, chloroform, ethanol) were evaluated by analyzing extracts of ripe and unripe P. granatum L. fruit juice for TPC and DPPH* scavenging assay. FTC method measured the level of peroxides. Results: In TPC extraction, the water solvent showed greater potential in both ripe (10.5±2.1) and unripe fruit juice (4.1±0.3) amongst all other solvents. Ethanol and water solvent showed the highest value of DPPH* scavenging activity (96%±6.81 and 72%±3.50 respectively) in ripe and unripe fruit juice. According to absorbance of DPPH radicals, the water solvent showed the highest antioxidant potential in ripe fruit juice (86%±6.78) like chloroform solvent in unripe fruit juice (14%±0.03). Unripe fruit juice showed lowest level of absorbance of DPPH radicals and highest antioxidant potential amid all solvents. In FTC method, unripe fruit juice showed the highest antioxidant activity and low amount of peroxides for consecutively seven days. Conclusion: Ripe fruit juice showed the highest TPC and unripe fruit juice showed the maximum value of antioxidant potential. P. granatum L. provides an excellent supply of antioxidant activity and used in pharmaceutical and food industry.
