Investigations were carried out with the Salicornia neei Lag plant, evaluating the biotechnological potential in the synthesis of lipids, starting with the histochemical location in the tissues of the stem and leaf structures, observing the intense coloration of the oil droplets present in the cells, which were stained black or dark blue, in both structures. In this study, the content of total lipids were evaluated, in addition to evaluating their potential to antioxidant activities. The total lipids of the root and leaf showed higher values corresponding to approximately 10,06% and 5.67%, respectively, and the stem 3.07%. The studies carried out also demonstrated high antioxidant activity in the root, stem and leaf, allowing the application of Salicornia neei in the food industry and as a candidate for the pharmaceutical area.

“…Additionally, a moderate effect against Vibrio cholerae, Salmonella enterica, and Enterococcus faecalis was also observed (Chemsa et al 2016). Some reports investigating the antibacterial potential of aerial parts of B. indica can also be found in the literature (Abdel-Hameed et al 2008;Bouaziz et al 2009;Bibi et al 2021;Ahmed et al 2022). However, they provide contradictory information that can be associated with, among others, different methods of processing plant material.…”

“…S2). Most reports indicated inactivity of Bassia extracts toward Aspergillus niger or A. fumigatus (Abdel-Hameed et al 2008;Al-Barri et al 2021;Ahmed et al 2022). Additionally, the essential oil obtained from the B. scoparia shoots, with α-thujaplicin as the main compound (22.91%), did not inhibit the growth of A. niger, while it showed moderate activity towards C. albicans (MIC= 12.5 μg/mL) (cefroperazone was used as a positive control, MIC=5.0 μg/mL) (El-Shamy et al 2012).…”

Current knowledge on genus Bassia All.: a comprehensive review on traditional use, phytochemistry, pharmacological activity, and nonmedical applications

Bassia All. is a genus from the Amaranthaceae family, which was created by merging selected species belonging to the former Bassia and Kochia genera with those classified to Chenolea, Londesia, Kirilowia and Panderia. The reorganised Bassia genus currently comprises around 20 species, which are annual herbs or perennial subshrubs native to Eurasia and Africa. Bassia plants are well known for their therapeutic applications in folk medicine and traditional medical systems, and they are also used for nonmedical purposes. Some members of this genus, such as Bassia scoparia (syn. Kochia scoparia) is of great medical importance and economic value. The plant is cultivated in some regions of Asia as a crop to collect Kochiae fructus, which is used for both curative and food purposes. Phytochemical studies carried out on Bassia species indicate that these plants synthesize metabolites belonging to different groups of compounds (e.g., triterpene saponins, sterols, flavonoids, fatty acids, lignanamides, alkaloids, organic acids). Some of the structures are rarely found in the plant kingdom. Biological activity studies carried out on Bassia plants revealed various effects exerted by extracts and isolated compounds, including anti-inflammatory, cytotoxic, antioxidant, antimicrobial, hypoglycemic, anti-obesity, etc. Modern research explained some of the mechanisms of action. This review covers literature from 1935 to 2022, and assembles and discusses data on phytochemistry, biological activity, as well as medical and nonmedical use of the representatives of the genus Bassia. In this review we present the current state of knowledge about the plants of the genus.

“…The results of the current study were similar to the reported phytochemical profile of other plants of the genus Bassia like B. scoporia, and B. muricata, etc. [10,17,44]. The presence of phenols and flavonoids makes B. indica a plant of therapeutic potential.…”

Bassia indica (Wight) A.J. Scott is an Indian origin plant with documented medicinal and nutritional value, but has not been fully characterized yet. The present study was designed to establish pharmacognostic standards for the proper identification of the B. indica plant and its chemical characterization. The plant was standardized with World Health Organization (WHO) standardization tools and chemically characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and gas chromatography-mass spectroscopy (GC-MS) analysis. Antibacterial potential was assessed by the zone of inhibition and minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC), and molecular docking studies were also performed. Pharmacognostic evaluation established the macroscopic and microscopic parameters for the identification of whole plant and its powder. Physicochemical parameters were also set forth while quantitative phytochemical analysis showed that the ethyl acetate fraction had the highest quantity of phenols, flavonoids, and tannins. FTIR analysis showed several functional groups such as phenols, alkanes, and alcohols while 55 phytochemicals were identified in the GC-MS analysis of the crude fraction. The crude extract and other fractions showed marked antibacterial activity, while the ethyl acetate fraction showed the least MIC (1.95–31.25 mg/mL). Phytochemicals identified in the GC-MS showed good molecular docking interactions against the DNA gyrase subunit B of bacteria with binding energies ranging from −4.2 to −9.4 kcal/mol. The current study describes the pharmacognostic characterization and phytochemical profiling of B. indica and provides scientific evidence to support its use in infections.
