“…Given their strong bioactive potential, various types of phytocompounds are currently used in a wide range of fields such as food, pharmaceuticals, biomaterials, and environmental purification [ 44 ]. Regarding the ability of these compounds as antimicrobials, multiple studies have been conducted to determine their capability to fight oral infections caused by opportunistic pathogens such as Candida species [ 45 , 46 , 47 , 48 ].…”

The use of natural products to promote health is as old as human civilization. In recent years, the perception of natural products derived from plants as abundant sources of biologically active compounds has driven their exploitation towards the search for new chemical products that can lead to further pharmaceutical formulations. Candida fungi, being opportunistic pathogens, increase their virulence by acquiring resistance to conventional antimicrobials, triggering diseases, especially in immunosuppressed hosts. They are also pointed to as the main pathogens responsible for most fungal infections of the oral cavity. This increased resistance to conventional synthetic antimicrobials has driven the search for new molecules present in plant extracts, which have been widely explored as alternative agents in the prevention and treatment of infections. This review aims to provide a critical view and scope of the in vitro antimicrobial and antibiofilm activity of several medicinal plants, revealing species with inhibition/reduction effects on the biofilm formed by Candida spp. in the oral cavity. The most promising plant extracts in fighting oral biofilm, given their high capacity to reduce it to low concentrations were the essential oils extracted from Allium sativum L., Cinnamomum zeylanicum Blume. and Cymbopogon citratus (DC) Stapf.

“…Public awareness of polyphenolics efficiency is continuously increasing due to their presence in many plant‐derived foods and beverages and their wide application in various food and pharmaceutical industries (Okumura, 2020). Several methods and technologies have been recently developed for proper extraction of polyphenolics from plant materials, including supercritical fluid, subcritical water, pressurised fluid, microwave‐assisted, ultrasound‐assisted, and accelerated solvent‐extraction techniques (Dai & Mumper, 2010) to avoid hydrolysis or oxidation of some polyphenolics due to the long extraction time of conventional methods (Okumura, 2020). Other factors that can enhance the stability and promote the solubility of plant polyphenolics are glycosylation and malonylation (Šamec et al ., 2021).…”

Polyphenolics are the most common class of plant-derived natural products. They play an important role in the protection of both plants and humans. Acylated polyphenolics, i.e., polyphenolics esterified with either phenolic or organic acids, are abundant in several plant families including Fabaceae. This review article is intended to shed light on the distribution, isolation, chemodiversity, and bioactivity of acylated polyphenolics obtained from selected fabaceous plants mentioned herein. Isolation of these metabolites was mostly performed via successive column chromatography, including preparative and semi-preparative HPLC. Structure elucidation was achieved through interpretation of spectral data. Meanwhile, detection was chiefly accomplished via diverse liquid chromatography/mass spectrometric analyses. Compared to usual polyphenolics, these unique acylated compounds were found of higher stability and bioactivity. The current survey targets to provide a comprehensive overview of the medicinal role of acylated polyphenolics that may encourage the incorporation of fabaceous plants in pharmaceuticals.

“…3,7,[10][11][12][14][15][16] Polymers produced from tannins, a biomaterial, are promising and effective adsorbents for selective binding with various precious metal ions. [17][18][19][20] In this context, plant polyphenols such as tannins are potential, low-cost and environmentally "green" biosorbents. 10 Valonia tannin is produced by the acetone-water extraction of acorn cups of Anatolian acorn oak (Quercus macrolepis).…”
