“…Different plant extracts from the Xanthorrhoeaceae and Fabaceae families, such as A. vera and M. tenuiflora, respectively, have anti-inflammatory and analgesic potential attributed to the various bioactive compounds they contain, such as flavonoids, tannins, and phenols. These phytochemical components could inhibit several biological processes, such as the expression of cyclooxygenase-2, inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), 5-lipoxygenase biosynthesis, and TNF-α [52][53][54]. Regarding IL-1β, which is produced by leukocytes and is essential during inflammatory and infectious processes, it was observed that A. vera, E. arvense, and M. tenuiflora extracts increase the concentration of this cytokine, which indicates its pro-inflammatory activity [55], this process is vital during the process of acute inflammation in pulp treatment [56].…”

The usefulness of traditional plants in Mexico to treat human ailments has been known since ancient times. This work evaluated the antimicrobial, anticoagulant, antioxidant, cytotoxic, and anti-inflammatory potential of ethanolic extracts of Aloe vera, Equisetum arvense, Mimosa tenuiflora, Lippia graveolens, and Syzygium aromaticum. The antimicrobial activity of the extracts was evaluated against Streptococcus mutans and Streptococcus sorbinus; a significant inhibitory effect of the L. graveolens extract on both bacteria was observed at concentration levels of 250 µg/mL and greater. The anticoagulant activity was evaluated in terms of prothrombin time (PT) and activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), A. vera and M. tenuiflora extracts showed no significant difference (p ˂ 0.05) in PT compared with the control, and for APTT the extracts of A. vera, L. graveolens, and S. aromaticum decreased the APTT significantly (p ˂ 0.05) compared with the control. The antioxidant potential by DPPH assay indicated that the E. arvense extract behaved statistically the same as the control. The cytotoxic activity was evaluated in HGF-1 cells using the fluorometric microculture cytotoxicity assay technique, and none of the extracts was toxic at 125 and 250 µg/mL concentrations. Finally, the anti-inflammatory activity was evaluated using ELISA, where the A. vera extract showed the best anti-inflammatory capacity. Further research on the search for bioactive metabolites and elucidation of action mechanisms of the most promising extracts will be carried out.

“…The differences observed among the extracts can be linked to the distinct concentrations of secondary metabolites present in each extract, as highlighted in studies by ( Chel-Guerrero et al, 2022 ). Numerous investigations have affirmed the crucial role of polyphenols, including flavonoids, tannins, and phenols, in imparting anti-inflammatory propertie ( Komakech et al, 2019 ; Bezerra et al, 2021 ). Specifically, certain compounds such as flavonoids possess the ability to inhibit pro-inflammatory enzymes, thereby mitigating inflammatory responses.…”

This study assessed the medicinal properties of Euphorbia resinifera O. Berg (E. resinifera) and Euphorbia officinarum subsp echinus (Hook.f. and Coss.) Vindt (Euphorbia echinus, known for their pharmaceutical benefits. Extracts from their flowers, stems, propolis, and honey were examined for phenolic content, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antibacterial activities. Total phenolic content (TPC), total flavonoid content (TFC), and total condensed tannin (TCC) were determined using specific methods. Antioxidant potential was assessed through various tests including DPPH, FRAP, ABTS, and Total antioxidant capacity. Anti-inflammatory effects were evaluated using phenol-induced ear edema in rats, while antibacterial activity was measured against Gram-positive (Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 6538) and Gram-negative (E. coli ATCC 10536) bacteria. Among the extracts, the aqueous propolis extract of E. resinifera demonstrated exceptional antioxidant capabilities, with low IC50 values for DPPH (0.07 ± 0.00 mg/mL) and ABTS (0.13 ± 0.00 mg/mL), as well as high TAC (176.72 ± 0.18 mg AA/mg extract) and FRAP (86.45 ± 1.45 mg AA/mg extract) values. Furthermore, the anti-inflammatory effect of E. resinifera propolis extracts surpassed that of indomethacin, yielding edema percentages of 3.92% and 11.33% for the aqueous and ethanolic extracts, respectively. Microbiological results indicated that the aqueous extract of E. resinifera flower exhibited the most potent inhibitory action against S. aureus, with an inhibition zone diameter (IZD) of 21.0 ± 0.00 mm and a minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of 3.125 mg/mL. Additionally, only E. resinifera honey displayed the ability to inhibit E. coli growth, with an inhibition zone diameter of 09.30 ± 0.03 mm and a MIC of 0.0433 mg/mL.

As espécies da família Cactaceae se destacam em razão de sua composição nutricional e ocorrência em distintas partes do mundo. No entanto, o uso de cactáceas como plantas alimentícias não convencionais (PANCs) ainda é pouco conhecido. Assim, objetivou-se investigar, a partir de uma revisão sistemática, a composição química e mineral, além da análise sensorial de duas espécies de cactáceas (Pereskia aculeata e Pilosocereus gounellei) como PANCs. Para tanto, bases de dados foram consultadas e onze artigos publicados nos últimos 10 anos (2012-2022) foram incluídos. Por meio dos resultados observou-se que as espécies Pereskia aculeata (ora-pro-nóbis) e Pilosocereus gounellei (xique-xique) são as mais utilizadas como ingredientes alimentares para humanos, assim como apresentam grande versatilidade, podendo ser consumidas in natura ou usadas na produção de diferentes alimentos, como pães, bolos, tortas, iogurtes, cupcakes e coxinhas. Além disso, verificou-se que as cactáceas representam uma importante fonte de nutrientes, como proteína, minerais e fibra, especialmente para alimentação humana, fornecendo nutrientes essenciais para adequada nutrição e saúde das populações. No entanto, ressalta-se que mais estudos se tornam necessários a fim de incentivar e valorizar o uso de cactáceas como plantas alimentícias não convencionais.
