“…It is a medicinal plant species that in its aboveground plant part, particularly in leaves, contains a wide range of bioactive compounds with pronounced pharmacological activities (Sendl et al, 1992). Its healing properties are associated with the content of sulphur, phenolic compounds (especially phenolic acids), saponins and carotenoids (Schmitt et al, 2005;Lachowicz et al, 2016;Marković et al, 2019). The fresh leaf of A. ursinum proved to have a high antioxidant potential due to the presence of phenolic compounds (Stajner et al, 2008).…”

Wild garlic (Allium ursinum L.) has been used as nutrition and medicine for centuries. Although this plant species is a typical springgeophyte that grows spontaneously in moist, steep, shady beech forests, but information on phytochemical and antioxidant propertiesunder various soil types are scarce. This study aimed to assess the phytochemical composition and antioxidant potential of the leaves ofA. ursinum grown on different soil types, but under identical climatic conditions of South Banat, Serbia. For the purpose of reproduction,A. ursinum bulbs were collected from two different locations in Serbia and then planted on different types of soil, namely: Arenosol,Fluvisol, Cambisol and Chernozem. Fresh leaves of sprouted plants were sampled at the beginning of spring, morphologically analysedand stoma was counted. The leaf extract was prepared and its phytochemical composition and antioxidant potential were assessed.Regardless of the origin of the reproductive material (bulbs), the leaves of A. ursinum plants cultivated in Chernozem soil had the bestmorphological characteristics and the largest number of stomata. Phytochemical analyses revealed the following ranges for selectedbioactive compounds (expressed on fresh weight, FW): chlorophyll content (289.9-642.4 μg/g for chlorophyll a i.e. 358.2-458.6 μg/gfor chlorophyll b), total carotenoid content (TCC, 91.2-263.2 μg/g), total phenolic content (TPC, 1.43-1.98 mg/g GAE), total flavonoidcontent (TFC, 0.36-1.28 mg/g QE), and total dihydroxycinnamic acid derivative content (HCA, 0.53-0.59 mg/g CGAE). The highestvalues were obtained on Chernozem (chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b and TPC and HCA) and Cambisol (TCC and TFC). Chernozem appearedto be the best soil type during three applied standard antioxidant assays (CUPRAC, TAC and FRP) while DPPH radical quenching assayrevealed no significant differences among all examined soil types. Based on the obtained results it could be assumed that Chernozemexhibited the most desirable physico-chemical properties for optimal development of A. ursinum (in particular its green parts) as a sourceof different antioxidants. Correlation analysis of phytochemical parameters has proved significant influence of total chlorophylls, phenolics,flavonoids and duhydroxycinnamic acid derivatives on antioxidant activity of A. ursinum leaves (unlike total carotenoid content) with thehighest correlation between HCA and FRP assay (r2= 1.00). In addition, PCA analysis clearly determined Chernozem type of soil as thebest choice for optimal leaf growth and development.Keywords: Wild garlic; cultivation; morphology; leaves; phytochemicals

“…The distribution of alkaloids is generally limited within the genus Sedum L. (Sedum acre-group); Several types of alkaloids have been identified -pyrrolidines and piperidines (2-monosubstituted and 2,6-disubstituted), which were considered in previous chemotaxonomic studies [4,5]. Phytochemical studies on the genus comprise several classes of secondary metabolites distributed in different plant organs: flavonoids, glucosides tannins, alkaloids, terpenes, lactones, organic acids, and polysaccharides [2,[6][7][8][9][10][11]. According to published data, extracts of the studied Hylotelephium species showed several biological activities: high antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity of H. erythrostictum aerial parts extract; antimicrobial and antioxidant activity of leaf and flower extracts, fractions and hydrolysates of H. spectabile x telephium; anti-inflammatory and analgesic activity of the H. kamtschaticum methanol extract [1,12].…”

There are many motives to study alkaloids within Crassulaceae family, such as chemotaxonomic consideration of alkaloid distribution and evaluation of their biological potential. Data on alkaloids from Sedum telephium (syn. H. telephium) aroused interest for further alkaloid investigation within the genus Hylotelephium H. Ohba. Thus, the aim of this study was to investigate and characterize other plant sources of alkaloids from the same genus. An alkaloid extract (AE-HS) was isolated from fresh aerial parts of a cultivated hybrid H. spectabile x telephium. The chemical composition of AE-HS was determined by GC-MS (gas chromatography - mass spectrometry) method. Eight components were identified, which made up 91.8% of the sample. The most present component of AE-HS was g-crotonolactone (78.6%) followed by 3-methyl-2-butenal (8.6%) and (E)-coniferyl alcohol (2.8%). Nicotine was identified as the only alkaloid in the AE-HS (0.4%). Along with many non-alkaloid compounds, a previous study found six alkaloids in AE of S. telephium (~7%), suggesting differences from our results. Additionally, alkaloid distribution is limited within other genera of the family and belonging to the same genus does not mean a uniform qualitative composition. Further analyzes of AEs of Hylotelephium taxa would certainly shed light on the pattern of alkaloid distribution.

“…The study aimed to collect, analyze and evaluate traditional knowledge of two gentian species (G. cruciata and G. lutea) which were mentioned by respondents in the Pirot County, open possibilities for their rational exploitation in accordance with principles of protected species in Serbia, regulated by national legislation, and promote their cultivation near to their natural habitats, and therefore accelerate economic progress of this rural and underdeveloped region of Serbia. (Marković et al, 2019;2009;. Stara Planina Mts dominates the relief of Pirot County.…”

The paper provides an insight into the traditional use of medicinal plant species from the genus Gentiana in the Pirot County in Southeastern Serbia. The ethnopharmacological study was conducted in the form of interviews among the population in four municipalities: Pirot, Babušnica, Bela Palanka, and Dimitrovgrad. Among the population of Pirot County, it was noticed the use of two species from the genus Gentiana: G. cruciata and G. lutea. It was recorded that cross gentian (G. cruciata) has great popularity and versatile aspects on traditional usage, that was mentioned by 53 respondents, and that includes the treatment of cancer diseases, improving the immune system, diabetes, blood purification, for appetite, gastric and duodenal ulcer, for high blood pressure, inflammation, lung diseases, cold, cough, disease prevention, diseases of internal organs, high cholesterol, and leaking breast. The usage of the root of yellow gentian (G. lutea) was mentioned by 30 respondents, and that includes improving the immune system, appetite, for the stomach, blood purification, circulation, as an aphrodisiac, against cancer diseases, diabetes, and gastric and duodenal ulcer. It is important to note that yellow gentian, recorded in the study area, is the first species on the list of illegally collected species in Serbia.
