“…As far as we are aware only stigmasterol 61 and β-sitosterol-β- d -glucoside 66 (Figure 2) were isolated from S. stellata [37]. Lipophilic profiles could show the presence of steroid derivatives, but those works are not included in this review because herein are just referred the isolated and fully characterized metabolites.…”

The genus Scabiosa (family Caprifoliaceae) is considered large (618 scientific plant names of species) although only 62 have accepted Latin binominal names. The majority of the Scabiosa species are widely distributed in the Mediterranean region and some Scabiosa species are used in traditional medicine systems. For instance, Scabiosa columbaria L. is used traditionally against diphtheria while S. comosa Fisch. Ex Roem. and Schult. is used in Mongolian and Tibetan traditional medical settings to treat liver diseases. The richness of Scabiosa species in secondary metabolites such as iridoids, flavonoids and pentacyclic triterpenoids may contribute to its use in folk medicine. Details on the most recent and relevant pharmacological in vivo studies on the bioactive secondary metabolites isolated from Scabiosa species will be summarized and thoroughly discussed.

“…Regarding Scabiosa stellata L., and as far as we are aware of, only three studies involving its chemical composition were recently reported [ 9 , 10 , 11 ], its medicinal use in traditional medicine was also reported [ 12 ] but has not yet been validated. These previous phytochemical studies revealed the presence of important secondary metabolites, such as fatty acids and triterpenoids [ 9 , 11 ], among which several are new triterpenoid saponins [ 11 ]. Furthermore, new bis-iridoids and three known flavonoids were also described [ 10 ].…”

The phenolic profile of Scabiosa stellata L., a species used in Moroccan traditional medicine, is disclosed. To obtain that profile the species extract was analyzed by ultra-high-performance chromatography coupled to photodiode-array detection and electrospray ionization/ion trap mass spectrometry (UHPLC-DAD-ESI/MSn). Twenty-five phenolic compounds were identified from which isoorientin and 4-O-caffeoylquinic acid can be highlighted because they are the major ones. The antioxidant activity was significantly controlled by the fraction type, with the n-butanol fraction showing the highest antioxidant activity (FRS50 = 64.46 µg/mL in the DPPH assay, FRS50 = 27.87 µg/mL in the ABTS assay and EC50 = 161.11 µg/mL in the reducing power assay). A phytochemical study of the n-butanol fraction was performed, and some important flavone glycosides were isolated. Among them the tamarixetin derivatives—the less common ones—can be emphasized. This phytochemical study and polyphenolic profile can be correlated with S. stellata extracts in vitro antioxidant activity. Moreover, it can be regarded as an evidence of its medicinal use and can incentivize its consumption.

“…So, both rhizome and leaves were extracted with n -hexane at room temperature, aiming to obtain the lipophilic profile. Although this type of extraction was not reported for this species, our experience indicates that low extraction yields, such as the ones herein reported ( Table 3 ), are typical in plants growing in warm environments [ 32 ]. Nevertheless, it was possible the identification and quantification, using GC-MS, of the major compounds present in both rhizome and leaves extracts, whose chromatograms demonstrate the richness in lipophilic compounds, although some only in traces ( Figure 1 ).…”

“…Some of the terpenoids found in A. quercifolia rhizomes are commonly found in plants, including some phytosterols found in our previous works [ 32 , 38 ]. Cycloartane triterpenoids’ natural occurrence is also vast through the plant kingdom [ 39 ], being cycloartenol the most recognized due to its rule in the phytosterols biosynthesis [ 40 ] and consequently in the regulation of important plant functions [ 41 ].…”

Aglaomorpha quercifolia (L.) Hovenkamp & S. Linds is an extensively used species in traditional medicinal systems in several areas of the world due to some important medicinal properties such as antioxidant, antibacterial, analgesic, and anti-inflammatory activities. In East Timor, different parts of this fern are used either as remedies or as food. The ingestion of a broth made from its rhizome improves lactation, and young fronds of this fern are boiled and eaten with rice by the locals. Nevertheless, its chemical profile is far from being established. The present work aims to establish the chemical profile of both rhizomes and leaves n-hexane extracts by Gas Chromatography- Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS). The results showed the leaves richness in fatty acids with interesting nutritional values (ω−6/ω−3 = 0.68, AI = 0.59, TI = 0.30), being linolenic acid (253.71 ± 0.93 mg/g dry leaves) and palmitic acid (237.27 ± 0.59 mg/g dry leaves) the significant compounds in the extract. Whereas the rhizome extract is mostly rich in terpenoids, such as steroid, cycloartane, and hopanoid derivatives, being hop-16-ene (166.45 ± 0.53 mg/g dry rhizome) and β-sitosterol (50.76 ± 0.11 mg/g dry rhizome) the major compounds. Several compounds are reported for the first time in the species, and the data herein reported contributes to confirming the species nutritional value.
