Abstract

Pharmaceutical research currently focuses on methods that allow for more sustainable and natural approaches. In this way, the use of discarded by-products, such as avocado seed, becomes a profitable and sustainable practice. This study evaluated the extraction of phytochemicals from avocado seed (Soxhlet extraction) and compared the antioxidant capacity of avocado seed (DPPH method). The extraction found compounds of different hydrophobicity and a vast amount of compounds that may present the potential for future clinical trials. Avocado extract presented an antioxidant effect (AA%) more effective than Quercetin (3.5%), Ascorbic Acid (2.8%,) and lightly lower than Rutin (-1.9%). Therefore, the avocado seed can be an excellent alternative for research of antioxidants and therapeutic phytochemicals.

牛油果种子乙醇提取物中的植物化学成分及其潜在的抗氧化作用

药物研究目前侧重于采用更可持续和更自然的方法。通过这种方式，利用废弃的副产品，如鳄梨种子，成为一种有利可图的可持续做法。本研究评价了从牛油果种子中提取植物化学物质的方法(索氏提取法)，并比较了牛油果种子(DPPH法)的抗氧化能力。提取中发现了不同疏水性的化合物和大量的化合物，这些化合物可能为未来的临床试验提供潜力。牛油果提取物的抗氧化效果(AA%)高于槲皮素(3.5%)和抗坏血酸(2.8%)，略低于芦丁(-1.9%)。因此，鳄梨种子是研究抗氧化剂和治疗性植物化学物质的绝佳选择。

期刊介绍： Current Organocatalysis is an international peer-reviewed journal that publishes significant research in all areas of organocatalysis. The journal covers organo homogeneous/heterogeneous catalysis, innovative mechanistic studies and kinetics of organocatalytic processes focusing on practical, theoretical and computational aspects. It also includes potential applications of organocatalysts in the fields of drug discovery, synthesis of novel molecules, synthetic method development, green chemistry and chemoenzymatic reactions. This journal also accepts papers on methods, reagents, and mechanism of a synthetic process and technology pertaining to chemistry. Moreover, this journal features full-length/mini review articles within organocatalysis and synthetic chemistry. It is the premier source of organocatalysis and synthetic methods related information for chemists, biologists and engineers pursuing research in industry and academia.
