Polyphenols and Flavonoids Composition, Anti-Inflammatory and Antioxidant Properties of Andean Baccharis macrantha Extracts

Abstract: This study examined the leaves of Baccharis macrantha to obtain extracts of Baccharis macrantha (EBM) and to determine the total flavonoid content (TFC) and the total polyphenol content (TPC). The main objective of this work was to quantify TPC and TFC of extracts of B. macrantha from Ecuador and evaluate its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities and inhibition of lipid peroxidation. The extraction method was optimized with solvents, ethanol, and methanol, at temperatures of 30–60 °C and extraction time… Show more

“…Phenolic compounds are derived from edible plants, particularly medicinal and aromatic plants, which are found in many food products such as vegetables, cereals, legumes, fruits, nuts, and certain beverages. In fact, this chemical family constitutes a group of substances frequently present in the metabolism of medicinal plants, and it contains several subclasses such as phenolic acids, flavonoids, and tannins, which are the most abundant molecules [ 5 , 6 , 7 ]. These compounds have chemical functional groups that allow them to target the different signaling pathways involved either in cell transformation or in the promotion of cell transformation.…”

“…Phenolic compounds are derived from edible plants, particularly medicinal and aromatic plants, in many food products such as vegetables, cereals, legumes, fruits, nuts, and certain beverages. Indeed, this chemical family constitutes a group of substances frequently present in the metabolism of medicinal plants and contains several subclasses, such as acids, flavonoids, and tannins, which are the most abundant molecules [ 4 , 5 , 6 ]. Various investigations have focused on phenolic compounds as anticancer bioactive compounds.…”
