Phytochemical screening and evaluation of cytotoxic and hypoglycemic properties of Mangifera indica peels

Evaluation of Antioxidant and Cytotoxic Activities of Aerial Parts of Adiantum capillus-veneris L. Growing in Bangladesh

“…[11][12][13][14] A study revealed that methanolic extract of A. capillus-veneris L. leaf had pronounced analgesic, anti-inflammatory and hypoglycemic effects in Swiss Albino mice. 14,15 Ethnopharmacological investigation among tribal people specially chakma, marma, and tanchangya of Khagrachchari district, Bangladesh found that local traditional practitioners use aerial parts of A. capillus-veneris L. for healing skin problems like rashes, psoriasis, dermatitis, and different skin strains. 16 The traditional practitioners dispensed different liquid or semisolid preparations of A. capillus-veneris L. to tribal people for getting cure of skin lesion and rashes.…”

Mass spectrometry-based phytochemical screening for hypoglycemic activity of Fagioli di Sarconi beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.)

“…In detail, Heredia-Rodriguez et al (Heredia-Rodríguez, de la Garza, Garza-Juarez, & Vazquez-Rodriguez, 2016), described anti-diabetic effects of bioactive peptides in common beans (P. vulgaris) due to inhibition of -amylase and -glucosidase and stimulation of glucose uptake. Flavonoids have been reported to stimulate peripheral glucose uptake and express the enzymes responsible for the metabolism of carbohydrates (Chowdhury et al, 2016). Alkaloids are also hypoglycemic in nature (Kumar et al, 2011) and tannins have α-amylase and α-glucosidase inhibition capability (Chowdhury et al, 2016).…”

Moreover, lupeol type terpenoid is also reported for its α-amylase inhibition activity (Kumar et al, 2011).…”

“…However, these benefits are more probably associated with the whole phytochemical content (Savithramma, Rao, & Ankanna, 2011) and the synergistic or at least additive pharmacological effects of secondary metabolites occurring in legumes, thus evaluating for each of them the hypoglycemic activity (Chowdhury et al, 2016;Kumar et al, 2011). Therefore, the non-targeted metabolite profiling (simultaneous measurement of all metabolites in a given sample) is becoming an indispensable screening tool to better understand health-related food bioactivity.…”

DETERMINATION OF REDUCING POWER AND PHYTOCHEMICAL PROFILE OF THE CHILEAN MISTLETOE “QUINTRAL” (Tristerix corymbosus (L) Kuijt) HOSTED IN “MAQUI” (Aristotelia chilensis), “HUAYÚN” (Rhaphitamnus spinosus) AND “POPLAR” (Populus nigra)

“…The crude extracts of leaves and flowers of the three varieties of Quintral were analyzed qualitatively to determine the presence of cardiac glycosides, sterols/triterpenoids, saponins, alkaloids, tannins, steroids, quinones and flavonoids using methods well described in the literature [23]- [30] 2.3.2. Test for sterol-triterpenoids: to 2 mL of the extract dissolved in isopropyl alcohol, 1 mL of acetic anhydride and 3 drops of concentrated sulfuric acid were added.…”
