“…Stellaria media is reported to possess oleanene-type triterpenoid saponin [9]. Our study quantified the presence of oleanene-type triterpenoid saponin, phenols and flavonoids in LJ which seems to be responsible for preventing high-fat-diet induced obesity.…”

“…The species is medicinal and edible, rich in vitamins, minerals, flavonoids, triterpenoids, Gamma-linolenic-acid, phenols and beta carotene. Various phytoconstituents viz ; lipids [7], pentasaccharide [8], and triterpenoid [9] have been reported from this species. It has been used to treat various diseases because of many biological activities in traditional medicine, such as inflammations of the digestive, renal, respiratory and reproductive tracts.…”

BackgroundObesity is recognized as a social problem, associated with serious health risks and increased mortality. Numerous trials have been conducted to find and develop new anti-obesity drugs through herbal sources to minimize side effects associated with the present anti-obesity drugs. The present study was designed to evaluate the quality control parameters, quantitative phytochemical analysis (total phenolic, total flavonoids and total saponin content), and the anti-obesity effect of lyophilized juice (LJ) of Stellaria media (Linn.) Vill. by employing in vitro and in vivo models.MethodsIn vitro studies were performed to evaluate the inhibitory activity of LJ on pancreatic amylase and lipase. The in vivo pancreatic lipase activity was evaluated by measurement of plasma triacylglycerol levels after oral administration of lipid emulsion to swiss albino mice. Furthermore, the anti-obesity effect of LJ was assessed at two doses, 400 mg/kg and 900 mg/kg body weight in mice fed a high-fat-diet with or without LJ for 6 weeks.ResultsThe LJ inhibited pancreatic amylase and lipase activity in vitro and elevated plasma triacylglycerol level in mice. LJ suppressed the increase in body weight, retroperitoneal adipose tissue, liver weights and serum parameters viz., total cholesterol, total triglyceride, LDL-cholesterol level at the dose of 900 mg/kg body weight of the mice fed with high fat diet. The total phenolic, flavonoid and saponin contents were found to be 0.26 mg/g, 1.4 mg/g and 1.19 μg/g respectively of LJ.ConclusionThe anti-obesity effects of LJ in high-fat-diet fed mice may be partly mediated through delaying the intestinal absorption of dietary fat and carbohydrate by inhibiting digestive enzymes.

“…In crops, the antagonistic e ects of various groups of chemical compounds are more pronounced at low concentrations, compared to the action of individual substances. Herb of S. media contains oligosaccharides, saponins, avonoids, proteins, provitamins, vitamins B1, B2, C, E, PP, triterpene glycosides, sugar alcohols and mineral salts (Vanhaecke et al, 2006;Hu et al, 2009), which can cause this kind of complex action. e analysed indexes show clearly that water extracts from dry S. media shoots show allelopathic properties for germination and early stages of bean growth.…”

The aim of the study was to determine the role of the seed coat in the presence of aqueous extracts from Stellaria media (L.) Vill. on germination and early growth stages of bean seeds Phaseolus vulgaris L. Dry shoots of the chickweed aqueous extracts were prepared, with which the bean seeds with coat and without coat were treated. The control group was seeds watered only with distilled water. After 7 days of the experiment, seed germination parameters, seed germination rate (SE), seed vitality index (SVI), seedling growth inhibition index (IP), fresh and dry mass values and percentage water content were determined. The experiment showed the germination capacity of bean seeds was varied, in relation to seeds from the control. With increasing concentrations of extracts, a significant reduction in the seed germination rate was observed, both for those with seed coat and without seed coat. The seed vitality index increased only in seeds with coat, and decreased in each of the applied concentrations of extracts in seeds without seed coat. The seedling growth inhibition index reached negative values in both groups of seeds tested only at a concentration of 5%. In comparison to the control, IP was positive for seedlings watered with 15% extracts. For P. vulgaris seedlings grown on 5% of extracts the highest increase in the fresh mass was observed, in relation to the value of control mass. For seedlings grown from seeds with seed coat the diferences in the dry mass values primarily were noted. The percentage of water content in bean seedlings varied depending on the group of seeds studied and the concentration of allelopathic substances in the chickweed aqueous extracts. The examined indexes of seed germination and seedling growth showed that in the case of P. vulgaris seeds without seed coat. The role of seed coat in the germination and early stages of growth of bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) in the presence of chickweed (Stellaria media (L.) Vill.) were more sensitive to aqueous extracts from dry shoots of S. media. Compared to the control group, in low concentrations of allelopathic substances the seeds germinated similarly to the distilled water, and at higher concentrations, the seeds germination, the seedlings growth and fresh and dry mass values were inhibited.

“…Vanhaecke et al (2008) showed that S. media contains many oligosaccharides from the raffinose family that participate in the translocation and use of coal and fulfil the protective functions against abiotic stress caused by frost, drought or the presence of salts in the soil. In addition, it is a source of saponins, flavonoids (rutin) in glycoside form, protein, provitamin A -β-carotene, vitamins B1, B2, C, E, PP, para-aminobenzoic acid (PABA), triterpene glycosides, sugar alcohol (pinitol) as well as mineral salts -in the form of phosphorus, potassium, iron, magnesium, zinc, manganese, copper, chromium, selenium, iodine and silicon compounds (Vanhaecke et al, 2006;Hu et al, 2009). Under field conditions, additive or partially antagonistic effects of whole groups of chemical compounds are more pronounced even at low concentrations, as compared to the effects of individual substances.…”

Plants introduce chemicals into the environment that can be toxic, both for themselves and for other species. Weed infestation of crops is a competition for environmental resources, but at the same time is a source of chemical substances released into the soil, often reducing yield potential. The paper attempts to investigate the allelopathic interaction of aquatic extracts from dry shoots of chickweed Stellaria media L. on germination and development of maize Zea mays L. seedlings of ‘San’, ‘Kidemos’ and ‘DKC 3441’ cultivars. Along with the increase in the concentration of allelopathic substances, a decrease in the germination activity of all tested maize cultivars was observed. Germination percentage as like percentage of control was the highest for seeds germinating on substrates with 1% chickweed extracts and the lowest for seeds watered with 5% extracts. Biometric measurements of seedlings showed that the most sensitive cultivar of maize was ‘DKC 3441’, and the resistant cultivar ‘San’. The relative water content was the highest for seedlings grown on the 5% extracts. Significant differences in the amount of fresh and dry masses of maize seedlings were demonstrated at the highest concentrations of extracts compared to the control. A significant increase in electrolyte leakage compared to the control sample was found in the ‘Kidemos’ cultivar. The lowest differences in the destabilization of the ionic transport through cell membranes for the ‘DKC 3441’ cultivar were demonstrated. ********* In press - Online First.
