Abstract
ABSTRACT
The growing interest in plant-based bioactives has intensified research into their therapeutic potential. This study investigated the chemical profile, antioxidant properties, and enzyme inhibitory effects of methanol extracts from Campanula lyrata subsp. lyrata, obtained via maceration (MAC-ME), Soxhlet (SOE-ME), and ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE-ME). Among the extracts, MAC-ME contained the highest total phenolic (41.76 mg GAE/g) and flavonoid (23.68 mg RE/g) contents. In antioxidant assays, SOE-ME exhibited the strongest DPPH radical scavenging activity (IC50: 1.17 mg/mL), while all extracts displayed comparable reducing power in CUPRAC and FRAP assays (EC50: 0.50–0.77 mg/mL), indicating moderate antioxidant potential. Enzyme inhibition results revealed that SOE-ME showed the most potent AChE (IC50: 1.18 ± 0.03 mg/mL) and tyrosinase (IC50: 1.45 ± 0.01 mg/mL) inhibition, whereas MAC-ME demonstrated the highest α-amylase inhibition (IC50: 2.11 ± 0.01 mg/mL). These findings suggest selective bioactivity profiles depending on the extraction technique. Molecular docking supported the in vitro results, showing strong binding affinities of chlorogenic acid (ΔG = −9.25 kcal/mol for AChE) and hesperidin (ΔG = −9.05 kcal/mol for α-amylase), with simultaneous docking indicating potential synergistic interactions (ΔG up to −12.65 kcal/mol). Overall, the extracts—especially SOE-ME—demonstrated promising multi-target bioactivity, underscoring the pharmacological potential of C. lyrata subsp. lyrata in managing oxidative stress and enzyme-related disorders.
期刊介绍:
The goal of the Journal of Food Science is to offer scientists, researchers, and other food professionals the opportunity to share knowledge of scientific advancements in the myriad disciplines affecting their work, through a respected peer-reviewed publication. The Journal of Food Science serves as an international forum for vital research and developments in food science.
The range of topics covered in the journal include:
-Concise Reviews and Hypotheses in Food Science
-New Horizons in Food Research
-Integrated Food Science
-Food Chemistry
-Food Engineering, Materials Science, and Nanotechnology
-Food Microbiology and Safety
-Sensory and Consumer Sciences
-Health, Nutrition, and Food
-Toxicology and Chemical Food Safety
The Journal of Food Science publishes peer-reviewed articles that cover all aspects of food science, including safety and nutrition. Reviews should be 15 to 50 typewritten pages (including tables, figures, and references), should provide in-depth coverage of a narrowly defined topic, and should embody careful evaluation (weaknesses, strengths, explanation of discrepancies in results among similar studies) of all pertinent studies, so that insightful interpretations and conclusions can be presented. Hypothesis papers are especially appropriate in pioneering areas of research or important areas that are afflicted by scientific controversy.
