“…Portulaca oleracea L. belongs to the family of Portulacaceae. This plant which is largely distributed in tropical and temperate regions worldwide, has been widely used in traditional medicine to treat different diseases including severe in ammations, respiratory problems, and headaches (Zhuet al, 2010;Iranshahy et al, 2017). Bioactive molecules could be of different nature as this plant is rich in avonoids, terpenoids, alkaloids, organic acids, and vitamins (Zhou et al, 2015).…”

Abstract In the present study, we investigated natural compounds contained in Moroccan medicinal plants and that might be used as natural inhibitors of the novel coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2, that causes coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). We first performed a literature search for natural inhibitors of SARS or MERS coronaviruses. We then selected natural compounds that have been biologically tested and confirmed to possess anti-coronavirus activity. Subsequently, we used a molecular docking to determine whether the selected molecules could interact with the virus proteins. The compounds selected from virtual screening were then subjected to an in-silico analysis of absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion (ADME) properties to select only natural compounds that could be orally bioavailable. Thereafter, a second search has been launched to select Moroccan medicinal plants that contain at least 3 molecules from those natural compounds. As results, among 41 natural inhibitors of SARS or MERS coronaviruses, only 13 have been successfully passed the ADME filtering. These molecules, showed abilities to interact with the novel coronavirus as it was predicted. Using these molecules and based on the data extracted from literature, 29 Moroccan medicinal plants have been found to contain at least 3 of these coronavirus inhibitors. Therefore, the medicinal plants selected in this study might contain direct anti-SARS-CoV-2 compounds.

BACKGROUND Portulaca oleracea L., common purslane, is an insecticidal plant that has been documented as a ‘Chinese indigenous pesticide’, and it is seldom visited by insects in the field. However, identification of anti‐insect compounds and mechanisms of action are still unclear. RESULTS Interplanting purslane with Chinese cabbage demonstrated that purslane may contain secondary compounds that S. litura avoids eating. Four compounds were isolated from P. oleracea by directed anti‐insect activity, and their chemical structures were identified by NMR spectra as (9Z,11E,15Z)‐13‐hydroxyoctadeca‐9,11,15‐trienoic acid (1), portulacanone A (2), portulacanone D (3), and a new natural product 2,4′‐dihydroxy‐3′,5′‐dimethoxychalcone (4). A combination of compound 1 and 2 possessed stronger activity than other combinations (compounds 1 + 3; 1 + 4; 2 + 3; 2 + 4; 3 + 4). Both active compounds were detected in all samples from 23 regions in China, and concentrations in samples collected from 17 regions were generally above 500 μg/kg. Concentrations of compounds 1 and 2 fluctuated greatly from April to November, and reached maximum concentrations of 45 951.44 μg/kg for compound 1 and 3739.09 μg/kg for compound 2 in November. The combination of these compounds (1 + 2) caused mid‐gut structural deformation and tissue decay as determined by mid‐gut histopathology of S. litura. CONCLUSION In general, these active compounds coexisting contributed to partly protect purslane from insects. This research also provides new insights into the use of purslane as important ingredient of botanical pesticide alternatives to traditional chemical pesticides. © 2019 Society of Chemical Industry

“…Portulaca oleracea L., also known as purslane, is cited in the literature as a halophyte species that shows salinity tolerance, but this tolerance is genotype dependent. This species presents nutritional potential for human and animal consumption (Teixeira and Carvalho, 2009), medicinal properties for a wide spectrum of diseases (Iranshahy et al, 2017), its seeds are sources of oil production (Teixeira and Carvalho, 2009), and due to its characteristic of supporting saline environments can be considered an important genetic source for saline tolerance (Slama et al, 2015).…”

ABSTRACT:Halophyte plants are known to tolerate environments with high salt concentrations, although there are intraspecific differences in the level of tolerance borne by these plants. Portulaca oleracea L., commonly known as Purslane, is mentioned in the literature as a halophyte species that shows tolerance to salinity, but this tolerance is genotype-dependent.The present study aimed to evaluate if a Purslane access (B1) is highly tolerant to salinity, to be used in future studies on the mechanism(s) promoting this tolerance. For that, morphological changes the B1 access were evaluated once submitting it to saline stress at concentrations of 0.0; 0.2; 0.4; 0.6; 0.8; 1.0; 1,2; 1.4; 1.6; 1.8 and 2.0 g of NaCl / 100 g of substrate. Seeds were germinated in culture medium (MS ½ strength, Phytagel 0.2%, and pH 5.8) and then transferred to 200 mL plastic cups with 100 g of substrate. After 35 days, saline solutions containing different amounts of salts were added to the substrate in order to subject the plants to the different levels of salts above mentioned. The experiment was conducted in a plant growth chamber in which temperature was set at 25 ±2°C, 65 ±5% of air relative humidity and 500±20 μmol/m -2 /s -1 of PAR, and a photoperiod of 16/8 h (light/dark). The most common morphological characteristics (shoot growth, leaf area and number, stem succulence, leaf color and stem color ) were monitored for a period of up to 12 days, after the onset of saline stress.The experimental design was completely randomized with three replicates per treatment.Purslane plants showed practically no changes in the variables evaluated up to 1.2 g of salt.Even in the highest concentrations, the plants remained alive.
