“…As in the case of antioxidant activity, most EAF samples showed higher polyphenol content compared to their respective CEs. Indeed, many studies have shown a significant correlation between antioxidant capacity and TPC [19,21,36,37], reinforcing our results.…”

“…Through assessment of the scatter plots ( Scores and Loadings , S1 Fig), it was possible to distinguish which plant extracts were most strongly associated with phenolic compounds, antioxidant activity and AChE inhibitory activity. The samples obtained as EAFs showed the highest content of phenolic compounds and better antioxidant and AChE inhibitory activity, as expected and already discussed [21,36,37]. The EAFs also showed better AChE inhibitory activity, probably because the relative abundance of the active constituents in these fractions was higher [34].…”

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the most common form of dementia and has no cure. Therapeutic strategies focusing on the reduction of oxidative stress, modulation of amyloid-beta (Aβ) toxicity and inhibition of tau protein hyperphosphorylation are warranted to avoid the development and progression of AD. The aim of this study was to screen the crude extracts (CEs) and ethyl-acetate fractions (EAFs) of Guazuma ulmifolia , Limonium brasiliense , Paullinia cupana , Poincianella pluviosa , Stryphnodendron adstringens and Trichilia catigua using preliminary in vitro bioassays (acetylcholinesterase inhibition, antioxidant activity and total polyphenol content) to select extracts/fractions and assess their protective effects against Aβ 25–35 toxicity in SH-SY5Y cells. The effect of the EAF of S . adstringens on mitochondrial membrane potential, lipid peroxidation, superoxide production and mRNA expression of 10 genes related to AD was also evaluated and the electropherogram fingerprints of EAFs were established by capillary electrophoresis. Chemometric tools were used to correlate the in vitro activities of the samples with their potential to be evaluated against AD and to divide extracts/fractions into four clusters. Pretreatment with the EAFs grouped in cluster 1 ( S . adstringens , P . pluviosa and L . brasiliense ) protected SH-SY5Y cells from Aβ 25-35 -induced toxicity. The EAF of S . adstringens at 15.62 μg/mL was able completely to inhibit the mitochondrial depolarization (69%), superoxide production (49%) and Aβ 25-35 -induced lipid peroxidation (35%). With respect to mRNA expression, the EAF of S . adstringens also prevented the MAPT mRNA overexpression (expression ratio of 2.387x) induced by Aβ 25–35 , which may be related to tau protein hyperphosphorylation. This is the first time that the neuroprotective effects of these fractions have been demonstrated and that the electropherogram fingerprints for the EAFs of G . ulmifolia , L . brasiliense , P . cupana , P . pluviosa and S . adstringens have been established. The study expands knowledge of the in vitro protective effects and quality control of the evaluated fractions.

Objective: This study aims to develop the extraction of the marker kaempferol in the fluid extract (FE) and validate an analytical method that monitors the quality of extracts of P. pyramidalis. Methods:The P. pyramidalis leaves were collected and then were dried to milling process. The extracts were drawn up at 20% weight: Volume (w/v) by maceration, and the extraction system used was hydroethanol solution ratio at 50:50 volume: Volume (v: v). From the hydroalcoholic extract, a method of extracting the kaempferol biomarker was developed and validated by high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with diode array detector. To validate a method, the following parameters were evaluated: Specificity, selectivity, linearity, limit of quantification (LOQ) and detection (LOD), precision, accuracy, robustness, and stability. Results:The method developed proved to be efficient, as it allowed the analysis of the interferents free marker, with recovery above 90%, linear over the range 1.4-26.6 µg/mL, correlation coefficient R 2 =0.999, and LOD and LOQ 0.07 and 0.22 µg/mL, respectively, specificity, precision, accuracy, and robustness. Conclusion:The extraction methodology of the kaempferol marker was successfully developed interferents free and the validated method by HPLC-DAD represents a useful tool in the quality control of P. pyramidalis herbal medicines.

MAMA decoction is an herbal preparation certified in Nigeria for the treatment of malaria. This study evaluated some parameters with a view to provide quality control standards for the decoction. A mixture of the component leaves of Mangifera indica L., Anacardiaceae, Azadirachta indica A. Juss., Meliaceae, Morinda lucida Benth., Rubiaceae, and Alstonia boonei De Wild., Apocynaceae, was extracted using the decoction method. The filtrate was freeze-dried into a powdered extractive. Pharmacognostical and physicochemical standards, qualitative and quantitative determinations of gedunin by thin-layer chromatography and high-performance liquid chromatography were determined. The extractive yield of the decoction was about 19%, and the moisture content of the plant leaves (6% to 16%) was within the pharmacopoeial limit. Gedunin was present at 0.42 μg/ml of decoction (0.04% w/v). The freeze-dried preparation contained 0.22 μg/100 μg of extractive (0.2% w/w), while A. indica leaf had 0.011 μg gedunin/100 μg of dried leaf (0.01% w/w). The study provided a set of reproducible analytical conditions for the quality control of MAMA decoction.
