“…The phytochemical analyses for the identification of chemical groups present in the extracts of B. orellana were carried out using the procedures described by Cuéllar et al, 14 which have been used by other authors in other species, such as Cnidoscolus chayamansa (Chaya), 15 Moringa oleifera Lam., 16 and Tagetes lucida Cav., popularly known as Pericón. 17 These techniques are based on sensitive, reproducible, and low-cost reactions.…”

“…Vitamin C was used as a reference (70 µM, 12.6 µg mL −1 ). The results were expressed as IC 50 and as a percentage of antioxidant activity based on the rate of degradation of DPPH compared to the control (1:1 mixture, ethanol:DPPH) according to the following formula: using the procedures described by Cuéllar et al, 14 which have been used by other authors in other species, such as Cnidoscolus chayamansa (Chaya), 15 Moringa oleifera Lam., 16 and Tagetes lucida Cav., popularly known as Pericón. 17 These techniques are based on sensitive, reproducible, and low-cost reactions.…”

Background In Mexico, there is an ancestral custom about the knowledge of the medicinal use of plants. Bixa orellana L. is a plant species that represents one of the main crops used in traditional medicine in southeastern Mexico. Background studies on its biological properties have been conducted on accessions harvested in Conkal, Yucatan, Mexico. Objectives In this work, the idea was to perform a phytochemical analysis of methanolic extracts of B. orellana. Materials and Methods Phytochemical screening was performed on methanolic extracts of leaves and seeds from two accessions of B. orellana, as well as on their antioxidant and antiproliferative activities. Results The phytochemical screening of the methanolic extracts of the leaves revealed the presence of tannins, terpenes, and saponins. A higher total content of phenols and flavonoids in leaves was also found compared to seeds, which coincides with a higher antioxidant activity in leaves compared to seeds. Regarding antiproliferative activity, the seeds and leaves of accession 3 showed the best results. Conclusion Accession 3 has better bioactive properties and can be a candidate in the search for antiproliferative and antioxidant compounds; this is the first study that associates this plant with this activity and demonstrates the chemical differences that exist between the accessions of B. orellana.

In the present study, the nematicidal activity of a Moringa oleifera ethyl acetate leaf extract against the eggs and larvae of Haemonchus contortus and Nacobbus aberrans, nematodes of agricultural importance, was evaluated. The experimental design for the evaluation of the effects against both nematodes consisted of eight treatments (n = 4). Distilled water, Tween (4%) and a commercial anthelmintic agent (ivermectin, 5 mg/mL) were used as controls, and for treatments 4–8, the concentrations of the extract were 20, 10, 5, 2.5 and 1.25 mg/mL, respectively. Readings were taken at 12 h and 24 h for N. aberrans and 48 h and 72 h for H. contortus post-treatment under an optical microscope (10× and 40×). The data obtained were analysed by analysis of variance through a completely randomized factorial design using the SAS V9 program. The results show that, for H. contortus egg hatching, 85.88% inhibition was obtained at a concentration of 20 mg/mL at 48 h, while for third-stage larva (L3) mortality, the highest percentage was 68.19% at 1.25 mg/mL at 72 h. In the case of N. aberrans, the greatest inhibition of egg hatching was 90.69% at 5 mg/mL at 12 h post-treatment, and for larval mortality, it was 100% at 10 mg/mL at 24 h post-treatment. The main major compounds identified by qualitative analysis and by gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry were 9,12,15-octadecatrienoic acid, (Z,Z,Z)-, n-hexadecanoic acid and 2,4-di-tert-butylphenol, and the minor compounds included phytol, γ-sitosterol and α-tocopheryl acetate. It was demonstrated that the ethyl acetate leaf extract of M. oleifera Lam. shows great potential for combating agricultural nematodes.
