“…and Sorbus aucuparia are recorded as the common treatment for diabetes in Turkey and, although uncommon, the same use is also reported in Georgia. The utilization of Sorbus aucuparia against diabetes has not been previously reported in/around this particular study region either in Turkey or in Georgia although its antidiabetic uses were reported in several sources [90]. Similarly, Crataegus spp.…”

Background: The Mountains of the Western Lesser Caucasus with its rich plant diversity, multicultural and multilingual nature host diverse ethnobotanical knowledge related to medicinal plants. However, cross cultural medicinal ethnobotany and patterns of plant knowledge have not yet been investigated in the region. Doing so could highlight the salient medicinal plant species and show the variations between communities. This study aimed to determine and discuss the similarities and differences of medicinal ethnobotany among people living in highland pastures on both sides of the Georgia-Turkey border.Methods: During the 2017 and 2018 summer transhumance period, 119 participants, (74 in Turkey, 45 in Georgia) were interviewed with semi-structured questions. The data was structured in use-reports (URs) following the ICPC classification. Cultural Importance (CI) Index, Informant Consensus Factor (FIC), shared/separate species-use combinations, as well as literature data were used for comparing medicinal ethnobotany of the communities.Results: 1506 UR for 152 native wild plant species were documented. More than half of the species are in common on both sides of the border. Out of 817 species-use combinations, only 9% of the use incidences are shared between communities across the border. Around 66% of these reports had not been previously mentioned specifically in the compared literature. Only 33 species have similar use reports in both countries, most important of which are Plantago major, Urtica dioica, Picea orientalis, Anthemis spp., Sambucus ebulus, Achillea millefolium, Helichrysum rubicundum, Mentha longifolia, Pinus sylvestris var. hamata, Hypericum perforatum, Tussilago farfara, Helichrysum plicatum, Rumex crispus, Berberis vulgaris, Origanum vulgare. More than half of species reported in each country were found to have more than one part of the plant valued for medicinal use. The most common way of using plants medicinally in both countries is drinking the water infusion of aerial parts with flowers. Based on CI index value, two thirds of the salient 15 genera in both countries have use reports in at least seven medicinal use categories. While the most cited category with highest FIC is digestive in Georgia, it is skin category in Turkey. Patterns of medicinal plant knowledge among studied communities appear to be connected with more than one cultural factor, in particular ethnolinguistic diversity, cultural background, and access to multilingual written folk and scientific literature, or probably a combination of various factors.Conclusion: Considering the regions’ floral similarity, common historical-cultural contact, and similar livelihood strategies of the communities, shared ethnomedicinal knowledge across the Georgia-Turkey border is quite low. Even though the impacts of accessing multilingual folk and scientific literature are likely to be significant, the factors that shape the medicinal plant knowledge patterns of the communities are shown to be variable among species, needing further research into intracultural diversity and socio-economical conditions, as well as the political history across the border.

“…Considering the possible pro-thrombotic consequences of the oxidative/nitrative stress-related changes in the fibrinogen structure, the observed protective effects of S. aucuparia fruit extracts towards fibrinogen might form the basis for their functional application and partly explain the use of rowanberries in the traditional treatment of diabetes [ 1 , 3 ] that is often associated with thromboembolic complications [ 13 , 24 , 29 , 30 ]. In this context, it is worth noting that the results of this in vitro study were obtained at the levels of rowan polyphenols achievable under physiological conditions.…”

“…Sorbus aucuparia L. is a small, deciduous tree or shrub, widely occurring in Europe and producing fruits (rowanberries, rowan fruits) with well-documented nutritional value that are consumed as marmalades, jams, jellies, wines, and confectionery [ 1 , 2 ]. Their health-promoting properties have also been noticed, and they are used as a traditional herbal remedy for several complaints, especially for diabetes and diabetes-related cardiovascular complications [ 1 , 3 ]. Indeed, according to previous research, rowanberries exhibit inhibitory activity towards α-amylase and α-glucosidase, i.e., enzymes involved in the digestion of carbohydrates [ 4 , 5 ], and they turn out to be effective reducers of the sugar level in a mouse model of diabetes [ 6 ].…”

“…Furthermore, multiple functions of phytochemicals on the living cells and their possible synergistic activity contributed to growing interest in applying plant-based foods in the prevention and adjuvant therapy of human diseases [ 12 ]. S. aucuparia is one of the species of interest due to its wide occurrence, the long tradition of consumption, and several reports on beneficial health properties of rowanberries and extracts derived from them [ 1 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 ].…”

The Effects of Sorbus aucuparia L. Fruit Extracts on Oxidative/Nitrative Modifications of Human Fibrinogen, Impact on Enzymatic Properties of Thrombin, and Hyaluronidase Activity In Vitro

Sorbus aucuparia L. fruits (rowanberries) are food products with acknowledged nutritional value, high phenolic content, and traditional application in diabetes. In this study, the effects of rowanberry extracts (phytochemically standardised, i.a., by LC-MS/MS) on some aspects of plasma haemostasis and vascular conditions were evaluated in vitro as possible mechanisms connected with cardiovascular complications of diabetes. The analyses of structural modifications of human fibrinogen under oxidative stress conditions (C-ELISA, SDS-PAGE and Western blot) revealed that the extracts (at a concentration of 1–5 µg/mL) considerably reduced the nitration of tyrosine residues and formation of high-molecular-weight aggregates. Moreover, they inhibited the enzymatic activity of thrombin (both amidolytic and proteolytic). Additionally, some promising outcomes might be expected regarding endothelial functions from the extracts ability to inhibit hyaluronidase. Parallel experiments on model polyphenols and correlation studies formed the basis for determining the contribution of different compounds, including hydroxycinnamic acid derivatives, flavonols, and low- or high-molecular-weight flavan-3-ols derivatives (proanthocyanidins), to the observed effects. The possible synergistic activity of individual constituents was also noticed. These results broaden the knowledge on the biological activity of rowanberries, partly confirming their health-promoting properties, and indicating that their functional applications might be promising.

Sorbus torminalis (L.) Crantz has a rich history of versatile applications spanning the fields of medicine and nutrition. It is noteworthy that the decoction obtained from S. torminalis leaves is a traditional treatment method against both diabetes and stomach disorders. Phytochemical profiling determined by HPLC/MS‐MS. The effects of the extracts on cell viability were investigated using the MTT (3‐(4,5‐dimethylthiazol‐2‐yl)‐2,5‐diphenyl tetrazolium bromide) method against MDA‐MB‐231 cell line (human breast adenocarcinoma).The ethanol/water extract contained more concentration of total phenolic (91.41 mg gallic acid (GAE) equivalent /gr) and flavanoid (29.10 mg rutin (RE) equivalent/gr) in the tested extract (p < 0.05). Resulting of HPLC analysis, the chemical constituents varied depending on the solvents and chlorogenic acid, hyperoside, isoquercetin, delphindin‐3,5‐diglucoside, procyanidin B2, epicatechin, neochlorogenic acid, 3,5‐dicaffeoylquinic acid were identified in all extracts. Overall, ethanol, n‐hexane and ethyl acetate extracts showed the highest inhibition for the tyrosinase enzyme. The effect of leaf extracts of S. torminalis on antimicrobial, biofilm inhibitory, and anticancer activities was examined. Based on outcomes of our study recognize this plant as a critical source of medically active chemicals for feasible phytopharmaceutical and nutraceutical applications, providing the first scientific insight into the detailed biological and chemical profiles of S. torminalis.
