“…O uso dos recursos vegetais, incluindo suas aplicações, evidencia a crença que a população tem diante da natureza, o seu conhecimento, conservação e preservação das plantas, tanto dos quintais como dos recursos disponíveis e utilizados da flora local para as diversas etnocategorias botânicas, principalmente como método alternativo para o tratamento de várias enfermidades e doenças mais comuns (Moreira & Guarim-Neto, 2009;Gutiérreza et al, 2014;Rodrigues & Carvalho, 2001;Oliveira et al 2022;Bohm & Oliveira, 2022;Mendonça-Neto et al 2022;Sarrico et al 2022;Borrás et al, 2021;Brasil, 2022;Brasil, 2014;Nobrega et al 2022;Saki, 2018;Santos et al, 2021).…”

“…Figure 3. Chemical structures of melatonin and valerenic acid Currently, studies with valerian focused on treating anxiety and insomnia continue to advance with very positive results (Das et al, 2021;Borrás et al, 2021). Also, in trials in patients with neuropathies (Soltani et al, 2021), mental disorders such as Alzheimer's (Marde et al, 2022), and in pregnancy (Kennedy et al, 2013), the beneficial effects of valerian extracts, as well as other phytotherapeutics, have been proven with interesting results.…”

The use of medicinal plants as an alternative phytotherapeutic remedy against mild illnesses and dysfunctions is increasingly embraced by people. Among these dysfunctions, episodes of nervousness and anxiety due to lack of sleep and insomnia are becoming more and more frequent among the population. To remedy these problems, several plants with sedative activity are recommended. In particular, valerian root (Valeriana officinalis L.) is the most recommended and studied with a significant difference. This study presented a quantification of the phytomelatonin contents in valerian root and several related and recommended herb supplements against nervousness, anxiety, and insomnia. The results showed the presence of phytomelatonin in all the samples analyzed. The high phytomelatonin contents in valerian root and its supplements indicated that, in addition to the known constituents of valerian root such as valerenic acid, phytomelatonin also contributed to the phytotherapeutic activity of this plant since the relaxing and sleep-inducing activity of melatonin is well documented. The recommended daily doses of valerian are analyzed according to their phytomelatonin content, and recommendations are given on the possible synergistic action of the components of valerian as a relaxant and sleep inducer in patients with these dysfunctions. It is also recommended to document the phytomelatonin contents in phytotherapeutic preparations.

The medicinal potential of hop (Humulus lupulus L.) is widely cited in ancient literature and is also allowed in several official pharmacopoeias for the treatment of a variety of ailments, mainly related to anxiety states. This is due to the plethora of phytoconstituents (e.g., bitter acids, polyphenols, prenyl flavonoids) present in the female inflorescences, commonly known as cones or strobili, endowed with anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antimicrobial, and phytoestrogen activities. Hop has recently attracted the interest of the scientific community due to the presence of xanthohumol, whose strong anti-cancer activity against various types of cancer cells has been well documented, and for the presence of 8-prenyl naringenin, the most potent known phytoestrogen. Studies in the literature have also shown that hop compounds can hinder numerous signalling pathways, including ERK1/2 phosphorylation, regulation of AP-1 activity, PI3K-Akt, and nuclear factor NF-κB, which are the main targets of the antiproliferative action of bitter acids and prenylflavonoids. In light of these considerations, the aim of this review was to provide an up-to-date overview of the main biologically active compounds found in hops, as well as their in vitro and in vivo applications for human health and disease prevention. To this end, a quantitative literature analysis approach was used, using VOSviewer software to extract and process Scopus bibliometric data. In addition, data on the pharmacokinetics of bioactive hop compounds and clinical studies in the literature were analysed. To make the information more complete, studies on the beneficial properties of the other two species belonging to the genus Humulus, H. japonicus and H. yunnanensis, were also reviewed for the first time.
