Comparison of different extraction methods of Brazilian “pacová” (Renealmia petasites Gagnep.) oilseeds for the determination of lipid and terpene composition, antioxidant capacity, and inhibitory effect on neurodegenerative enzymes

Abstract

Highlights Lipid and terpene composition of R. petasites seeds were reported for the 1st time. 2-Carene, spathulenol, labdadiene, and cis -α-bergamotene were the main terpenes. Supercritical CO 2 was most selective to MUFAs and PUFAs. Soxhlet extract demonstrated potential inhibitory effect against lipoxygenase.

Characterization of constituents by UPLC-MS and the influence of extraction methods of the seeds of Vernonia anthelmintica willd.: extraction, characterization, antioxidant and enzyme modulatory activities

“…In the determination of antioxidant activity, all assays clearly demonstrated that ME showed the lowest activity, followed by TSE. It can be seen from Table 2 that different extraction methods had a greater impact on the antioxidant activity of plant extracts, which was consistent with the result of dos Santos et.al that the activities of Brazilian "pacov a" were varies from different extraction methods [28]. In order to compare the extraction methods comprehensive, 6 kinds of methods based on different principles were employed to evaluate the antioxidant ability, such as DPPH, ABTS based on free radical scavenging ability, CUPRAC, FRAP, total reducing power based on reducing ability, and total antioxidant capacity based on oxidative capacity determination and the experimental results were expressed as Trolox equivalent.…”

The useful Brazilian cardamom (Zingiberaceae) first described as Elettaria brasiliensis by Raddi

“…Kaplan et al (2000) gave this information for R. chrysotricha (misspelled chrysotrycha). Cesarino (2013), Dos Santos et al (2021) and Negrelle (2015) referred to the synonym, R. petasites. The most useful part of the plant seems to be the seed: plants are cultivated in Colônia Castelhanos (Guaratuba, Paraná) and fruits sold as a medicine against stomach problems, indigestion and against worms (Cesarino 2013).…”

“…The most useful part of the plant seems to be the seed: plants are cultivated in Colônia Castelhanos (Guaratuba, Paraná) and fruits sold as a medicine against stomach problems, indigestion and against worms (Cesarino 2013). The seeds are also used as a spice to enhance flavour in the drink production by a company in São Paulo (Dos Santos et al 2021). The rhizome is used in a tea for treatment of Herpes zoster (Kaplan et al 2000) and the plant has the potential for treatment of osteoarthritis and other inflammatory diseases (Soares et al 2021).…”

Phytochemical investigation of Solidago Canadensis L. and its activity against Colorectal Adenocarcinoma and acute monocytic leukemia

“…Phytochemicals extracted from natural plant sources have always had the potential to improve the efficacy of ovarian anticancer therapy while somehow contributing to the mitigation of the negative consequences of ovarian cancer. Uche et al (15). recently discovered that phytochemicals extracted from plants and their derivatives, which are used in the analysis of ovarian tumors, have a major effect on the reduction in ovarian cancer cells.In South America, the aerial sections of S. Canadensis L. have been used for burn therapy due to their healing properties and as antirheumatic, anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and diuretic (16,17).…”
