“…In Table 1, the biophenol amounts of the bryophyte extracts in WT, MET, and ETH, after incubation up to 4 days, are reported. The results indicate that the WT extract contained the highest biophenol concentration showing that water was the most suitable solvent for biophenol extraction, in agreement with the literature data obtained from different bryophyte mosses and plants [18,19,20]. Moreover, no further biophenol content increase was observed after three days and, on this basis, further experiments were performed after 3-day incubation.…”

Bryophytes comprise of the mosses, liverworts, and hornworts. Cryphaea heteromalla, (Hedw.) D. Mohr, is a non-vascular lower plant belonging to mosses group. To the date, the most chemically characterized species belong to the liverworts, while only 3.2% and 8.8% of the species belonging to the mosses and hornworts, respectively, have been investigated. In this work, we present Folin–Ciocalteu and oxygen radical absorbance capacity (ORAC) data related to crude extracts of C. heteromalla obtained by three different extraction solvents: pure water (WT), methanol:water (80:20 v/v) (MET), and ethanol:water (80:20 v/v) (ETH). The water extract proved to be the best solvent showing the highest content of biophenols and the highest ORAC value. The C. heteromalla-WT extract was investigated by HPLC-TOF/MS (High Performance Liquid Chromatography-Time of Flight/Mass Spectrometry) allowing for the detection of 14 compounds, five of which were phenolic compounds, derivatives of benzoic, caffeic, and coumaric acids. Moreover, the C. heteromalla WT extract showed a protective effect against reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation induced by tert-butyl hydroperoxide (TBH) on the murine NIH-3T3 fibroblast cell line.

“…Entre los metabolitos secundarios de los musgos se detectan flavonoides, terpenoides, esteroides, compuestos aromáticos simples, cromanoles, alcaloides, derivados del bibencilo, del ácido ftálico, de cromonas, de p-terfenilo, cumarinas, saponinas, benzonaftoxanthenonas, compuestos que contienen nitrógeno y, además, acetogeninas, antocianinas, vitamina B2, triglicéridos y ácidos grasos altamente insaturados [11,27,30,[34][35][36][37][38][39][40]. También se detectaron compuestos volátiles, oxilipinas, fenoles, azúcares reductores, glucósidos, taninos y sanioninas, entre otros [41][42][43][44][45][46]. En virtud de la presencia diversa de metabolitos secundarios, se logran determinar compuestos bioactivos, muchos de los cuales muestran una variedad excepcional de actividades y propiedades medicinales [27].…”

Los musgos son utilizados por muchas culturas para tratar diferentes enfermedades, probablemente por sus compuestos bioactivos, algunos de los cuales pueden presentar actividad antioxidante. Esta investigación evaluó la actividad antioxidante (AA) de Breutelia subdisticha (Hampe) A. Jaeger, Leptodontium viticulosoides (P. Beauv.) Wijk & Margad. y Pylaisia falcata Schimp., a partir de extractos de diclorometano y etanólicos, mediante los métodos 2,2-difenil-1-picrilhidracilo (DPPH*) y ácido 2,2′-azino-bis-3-etilbenzotiazolin-6-sulfónico (ABTS*+). A los extractos obtenidos mediante la técnica Soxhlet se les determinó la concentración inhibitoria (IC50) y la actividad antioxidante relativa (%AAR), con posteriores análisis estadísticos de ANOVA y post-hoc de Tukey. Los extractos etanólicos presentaron mayor capacidad antioxidante que los de diclorometano. Por el método DPPH* los extractos etanólicos mostraron una %AAR respecto al ácido ascórbico de 3.06 para L. viticulosoides, 177.00 para B. subdisticha y 141.66 para P. falcata; mientras que con el método ABTS*+ la %AAR con respecto al ácido ascórbico fue de 1.75 para L. viticulosoides, 139.17 para B. subdisticha y 120.22 para P. falcata. Como conclusión, L. viticulosoides exhibió la mejor actividad antioxidante, por lo cual se sugiere continuar con su investigación y lograr una aplicación farmacológica de origen natural.

“…Although, many attempts have been made in this direction but lots of bryophytes (liverworts, hornworts and mosses) are still unexplored. Compared to angiosperms, only a handful of publications are available on bryophytes till date (Adebiyi et al, 2012). Hence there is a need to evaluate more and more bryophytes for the identification of biologically active compounds.…”

Abstract. Plants are the ultimate source of drugs against many communicable diseases since time immemorial. Multitudinous drugs have been obtained from countless plant species. However, invariably angiosperms were the preferred choice of most of the workers and other plant groups remain somewhat unexplored in this direction. Hence, the aim of the present study was to examine the phytochemicals, antioxidant and antibacterial activity of two such neglected mosses (bryophyta), Hyophila involuta (Hook.) Jaeg. and Entodon plicatus C. Muell. (Bryopsida). In preluded phytochemical analysis cardiac glycosides, flavonoids, saponins, anthroquinone, terpenoids, tannins, phenolic, proteins, fats and fixed oils were observed by using standard tests. It was found that E. plicatus contains more amount of phytochemicals than H. involuta. The antioxidant activity of both the plants was also determined according to standard protocols and appealing results were found. Comparative analysis was done for the activity of Catalase, Peroxidase, Ascorbate peroxidase, Glutathione reductase and Superoxide dismutase and interesting observations were made. Antimicrobial activity of methanolic extracts of both the plants was evaluated against Bacillus subtilis, B. cereus and Escherichia coli by using the Agar well diffusion method. Extract of H. involuta showed a greater inhibitory activity than Entodon plicatus. Bacillus spp. (gram+ve) were found more affected than E. coli (gram-ve).
