“…The highest phenolic compound was determined in Urtica dioica L.(0.811 mMGAE/g), and the lowest phenolic compound was found in Rumex scutatus L. (0.481 mMGAE/g). Our findings were similar to the findings of other researchers for Chenopodium album L. (Ahmed et al, 2017, Gohar et al, 2000. An other study, the highest phenolic contents were found in a Rumex scutatus L. ethanol extracts (Isbilir, 2008).…”

“…Besides the use of the leaves, young sprouts, and the seeds of Chenopodium album L. as food, Chenopodium species have also received attention because of their suggested effects in the folk medicine, including their use as an anthelmintic, stomachic, antispasmodic, diaphoretic, emmenagogue, and abortifacient traditional remedy. They are also assumed to provide relief against menstrual pain, amenorrhea, asthma, catarrh, and migraine (Ahmed et al,2017).…”

Today, there is a growing interest in nutritional awareness and a selective preference towards a healthy and balanced diet. A number of varieties of vegetables are good sources of essential components in human nutrition, providing vitamins, minerals, and fibre in general. Furthermore, chemical substances specific for given vegetables are responsible for various effects in the living organisms. For instance, natural antioxidants are the commonly known components of vegetables, neutralizing free radicals in the human body. The aim of the research was to evaluate antioxidant activity and phenolic content in leaves of three common Urtica dioca L., Rumex acetosella L., and Chenopodium album L. The antioxidan activity of these plants varied from 117.99 to 1273.83 µMTE/g. Urtica dioica L. had the highest antioxidan activity (1273.83 µMTE/g) followed by Rumex scutatus L.(225.09 µMTE/g) while the lowest value was observed in Chenopodium album L.(117.99 µMTE/g). The highest phenolic compound was determined in Urtica dioica L.(0.811 mMGAE/g), and the lowest phenolic compound was found in Rumex scutatus L. (0.481 mMGAE/g). The results obtained in this study indicate that wild Urtica dioca L., Rumex acetosella L., and Chenopodium album L. could be an important dietary source because of its good antioxidant and phenolic content properties.

Objective: The aim of our study was to investigate chemical constituents of leaves and seeds of Elaeagnus angustifolia since no phytochemical investigation had been done previously in Iraq.Methods: Phytochemical screening of the extracts obtained from the leaves of E. angustifolia indicated the presence of flavonoids (type of flavonols), saponins, alkaloids, steroids, and terpenoids. Thin-layer chromatography fingerprinting and the spraying reagent (concentrated H2SO4 and vanillin in ethanol) were used to identify the hexane extract containing phytosterols.Results: The different chromatographic and spectroscopic results revealed the presence of β‐sitosterol isolated from E. angustifolia. Conclusion: The isolation and purification afforded white crystalline powder which was subjected to chemical and spectral identification by infrared and 1H-nuclear magnetic resonance. The compound was identified as β‐sitosterol.

Scopoletin (7-hydroxy-6-methoxy coumarin) is a phenolic coumarin isolated from many plants, known as an important compound of the phytoalexin group. This article is created to provide information regarding the synthesis and pharmacological activity of scopoletin. Scopoletin has been found in many plant species and isolated from various parts of the plant (roots, fruits, leaves, stems, etc.) such as Morinda citrifolia, Aegle marmelos, Erycibe obtusifolia Benth, Lasianthus lucidus Blume, Melia azedarach L., Sinomonium acutum, Convolvulus prostratus, and Solanum lyratum, etc. which all possess a number of medicinal properties. Its various pharmacological activities have been reported through a number of investigations. It is reported that such compounds produced specific biological activities and possible health implications for humans in food and medicine. Pharmacological activities that are established in-vivo are antithyroid, antihypertensive, anti-proliferative, anti-inflammatory, neurological, anti-dopaminergic and anti-adrenergic, antidiabetic drug, and antihyperuricemic activities. Based on in-vitro studies, scopoletin has pharmacological activities, including an antihepatotoxicity, antibacterial, antifungal, antitubercular, and antioxidant. From the assorted pharmacological activities of scopoletin, it has the potential to be further developed.INTRODUCTION: Scopoletin (7-hydroxy-6methoxy coumarin) is a phenolic coumarin isolated from many plants, known as an important compound of the phytoalexin group. It has a yellow crystalline structure with a molecular weight of 192 and a melting point of 204-206 °C. Its various biological activities have been reported through a number of investigations. Booth et al., (2004) reported that such compounds produced specific biological activities and possible health implications for humans in food and medicine.
