Abstract
As ethnic medicine, the whole grass of plants in Cirsium was used as antimicrobial. This review focuses on the antimicrobial activity of plants in Cirsium, including antimicrobial components, against different types of microbes and bacteriostatic mechanism. The results showed that the main antimicrobial activity components in Cirsium plants were flavonoids, triterpenoids and phenolic acids, and the antimicrobial ability varied according to the species and the content of chemicals. Among them, phenolic acids showed a strong antibacterial ability against Acinetobacter baumannii, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Enterococcus faecium. The antibacterial mechanisms include: (1) damaging the cell membrane, cell walls, mitochondria and nucleus of bacteria; (2) inhibiting the synthesis of proteins and nucleic acids; (3) suppressing the synthesis of enzymes for tricarboxylic acid cycle pathways and glycolysis, and then killing the bacteria via inhibition of energy production. Totally, most research results on antimicrobial activity of Cirsium plants are reported based on in vitro assays. The evidence from clinical data and comprehensive evaluation are needed.

Phytochemical Characterization, Functional Nutrition, and Anti-Diabetic Potentials of Leptadenia hastata (pers) Decne Leaves: In Silico and In Vitro Studies. Bioinform Biol Insights 2022; 16:11779322221115436. [PMID: 35982736 PMCID: PMC9379957 DOI: 10.1177/11779322221115436] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/21/2022] [Accepted: 07/04/2022] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
The geometrical increase in diabetes mellitus (DM) and the undesirable side
effects of synthetic drugs have intensified efforts to search for an effective
and safe anti-diabetic therapy. This study aimed to identify the antioxidant and
anti-diabetic agents in the ethanol extract of Leptadenia
hastata (EELH). The phytochemicals, antioxidant vitamins, and
minerals present in EELH were determined using standard procedures to achieve
this aim. Gas chromatography coupled with mass spectroscopy and flame ionization
detector (GC-MS/GC-FID) was employed to identify bioactive compounds. An
e-pharmacophore model was generated from the extra precision, and
energy-minimized docked position of standard inhibitor, acarbose onto human
pancreatic amylase (HPA, PDB-6OCN). It was used to screen the GC-MS/GC-FID
library of compounds. The top-scoring compounds were subjected to glide
XP-docking and prime MM-GBSA calculation with the Schrodinger suite-v12.4. The
Adsorption, Distribution, Metabolism, Excretion, and Toxicity (ADMET) prediction
of the best-fit compounds was made using SwissADME and PROTOX-II webservers.
Further validation of the docking results was performed with the in vitro
analysis of the α-amylase and α-glucosidase inhibitory activities. EELH contains
appreciable amounts of antioxidant and anti-diabetic phytoconstituents. The
top-4 scoring compounds (rutin, epicatechin, kaempferol, and naringenin) from
the EELH phytochemical library interacted with amino acid residues within and
around the HPA active site. The ADMET prediction shows that epicatechin,
kaempferol, and naringenin had favorable drug-likeness, pharmacokinetic
properties, and a good safety profile. EELH demonstrated good inhibitory actions
against α-amylase and α-glucosidase with 1C50 values of 14.14 and
4.22 µg/mL, respectively. Thus, L hastata phytoconstituents are
promising novel candidates for developing an anti-diabetic drug.

Food Sci Nutr 2022; 10:4270-4295. [PMID: 36514751 PMCID: PMC9731542 DOI: 10.1002/fsn3.3020] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/26/2022] [Revised: 07/19/2022] [Accepted: 07/24/2022] [Indexed: 12/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Ziziphus jujuba Mill is the dried ripe fruit of the Rhamnaceae family; it is widely distributed in Shandong, Henan, Liaoning, and other places in China. In folk medicine, it was used to restore vital energy, as a blood tonic, and for the treatment of spleen deficiency. To date, a complete investigation of the compounds of Z. jujuba has rarely been performed. Therefore, a reliable strategy based on UHPLC-Q-Exactive Orbitrap MS, combined with trace data acquisition mode (parallel reaction monitoring scanning, PRM) and multiple data processing methods, is necessary for the characterization of compounds in the Z. jujuba. Ultimately, 295 compounds, including 69 flavonoids, 60 alkaloids, 82 phenylpropanoids, 52 organic acids, and 32 other components, were identified in the Z. jujuba; of these, 270 have been reported in Z. jujuba for the first time. This study provides deep insights into the chemistry of Z. jujuba and could be useful for further studies aimed at identifying the factors contributing to the health benefits attributed to this fruit.

LC-MS/HRMS Analysis, Anti-Cancer, Anti-Enzymatic and Anti-Oxidant Effects of Boerhavia diffusa Extracts: A Potential Raw Material for Functional Applications. Antioxidants (Basel) 2021; 10:2003. [PMID: 34943106 PMCID: PMC8698501 DOI: 10.3390/antiox10122003] [Citation(s) in RCA: 22] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/14/2021] [Revised: 12/04/2021] [Accepted: 12/10/2021] [Indexed: 02/05/2023] Open
Abstract
Boerhavia diffusa is a great tropical plant and is widely used for various traditional purposes. In the present study, we examined the influence of solvents (dichloromethane, ethyl acetate, methanol and infusion (water)) on chemical composition and biological capabilities of B. diffusa. An UHPLC-HRMS method was used to determine the chemical characterization. The biological ability was examined for antioxidant, enzyme inhibitory and anti-cancer effects. To evaluate antioxidant effects, different chemical methods (ABTS, DPPH, CUPRAC, FRAP, metal chelating and phosphomolybdenum) were applied. With regard to enzyme inhibitory properties, cholinesterases, amylase, glucosidase and tyrosinase were used. The MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cell line was chosen to determine anticancer activity. Based on the UHPLC-HRMS analysis, 37 specialized metabolites were dereplicated and identified in the studied extracts. Results revealed the presence of 15 hydroxybenzoic, hydroxycinnamic, acylquinic acids, and their glycosides, one rotenoid, seven flavonoids, 12 fatty acids and two other glycosides. Among the tested extracts, the methanol extract showed a stronger antioxidant ability compared with other extracts. The methanol extract also showed the best inhibitory effects on tyrosinase and glucosidase. In the anti-cancer evaluation, the methanol extract showed stronger anticancer effects compared with water extract. In summary, our observations can contribute to the establishment of B. diffusa as a potential candidate for functional applications in the preparation.
