In vitro antioxidant and enzymatic approaches to evaluate neuroprotector potential of Blechnum extracts without cytotoxicity to human stem cells

Abstract: Background:Investigation of selected plant extracts on multi-targets related to neurodegeneration, such as monoamine oxidases (MAO), cholinesterase enzymes, and antioxidant activities (AOA) is a useful tool for identification of new scaffolds.Objective:This work investigated biological effects of three Blechnum methanol extracts from Brazil and chemical profile of the most active sample.Materials and Methods:AOA included scavenging of hydroxyl and nitric oxide radicals, also lipid peroxidation inhibition.

“…On the other hand, as expected, Triton X (1%) displayed strong cell damage, evidenced by membrane injury observed in this methodology. Our group has already demonstrated the absence of toxic effects to this cell type when incubated with ferns crude extracts at 100 μg/ml and also with Blechnum crude extracts at 1 mg/ml, by the same method …”
