Therefore, this article develops a phytochemical analysis of the yellow tubers of T. tuberosum with the objective to assess whether the isolated compounds have anti-inflammatory potential in the CCD-1109Sk, MRC-5 and RWPE-1 cell lines. We performed an extraction of T. tuberosum tubers using different organic solvents, followed by a bioguided chromatographic separation. Four macamides were identified by LC/MS techniques, but only N-benzyllinoleamide (1) and N-benzyloleamide (2) were isolated and elucidated by NMR/MS techniques, given that they were present in a larger proportion in the tubers. The anti-inflammatory potential of macamides was evaluated by the inhibition of NF-κB and STAT3 activation. Both compounds displayed inhibition of NF-κB activation with IC50 values of 2.28±0.54 µM; 3.66±0.34 µM and 4.48±0.29 µM for compound (1) and 6.50±0.75 µM; 7.74±0.19 µM and 8.37 ±0.09 µM for compound (2) in CCD-1109Sk, MRC-5 and RWPE-1 cell lines, respectively.

Additionally, poupartone B-loaded liposomes were coated with heparin, a glycosaminoglycan that is known to target proteins on the surface of Plasmodium falciparum-infected red blood cells. The quantification of the compound in the formulation was performed by HPLC-DAD, while heparin was quantitated by 1H NMR spectroscopy. The liposomes’ antiplasmodial activity was tested on artemisinin-resistant P. falciparum isolate, and toxicity was evaluated on human HeLa cells and zebrafish embryos. Throughout this research, the formulation demonstrated higher antiplasmodial activities against both P. falciparum strains and a significant decrease of in vitro toxicity. The formulation improved the selectivity index 2 times in vitro and proved to be 3 times less toxic than the compound alone in the zebrafish embryo acute toxicity test.

Few analytical methods for the quantification of cannabinoids have been validated using internationally accredited guidelines.

The method was fully validated according to Food and Drug Administration and International Conference on Harmonization guidelines. A linear range of 0.1–30 μg/mL was obtained for CBD and Δ9-THC and 0.034–11.7 μg/mL for CBN, presenting determination coefficients above 0.99. The lower limits of quantification ranged from 0.034 to 0.1 μg/mL. The intra- and inter-day precision, calculated in terms of relative standard deviation, were 3.9–13.8 and 4.7–14.1%, respectively. Extraction efficiency at lower limits of quantification was 95–103%. Verification of method validity was performed with authentic cannabis oil samples. To our knowledge, this is the first method available in Argentina, validated according to international guidelines, for quantification of CBD, Δ9-THC, and CBN in cannabis oil. The primary application of this method is to differentiate between cannabis oils with high or low content of Δ9-THC, CBD, or mixed Δ9-THC/CBD.

To date, validation of most of the biological activities of has been mainly carried out in vitro, except for antimalarial activities. In this study, the potential anti-inflammatory, antipyretic, analgesic, and hepatoprotective properties of T. macroptera were investigated in different murine models. Administration of T. macroptera ethanolic root and leaf extracts in rats significantly reduced pyrexia, pain, inflammation, and hepatic marker enzymes such as alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, and alkaline phosphatase in the different murine models used (p<0.05). A phytochemical screening of T. macroptera revealed the presence of tannins, flavonoids, saponins, anthracene derivatives, sterols, triterpenes, and sugars in both leaf and root extracts as the main phytochemical compounds. This was confirmed by qualitative analysis, liquid chromatography coupled with high-resolution mass spectrometry. T. macroptera extracts demonstrated interesting in vivo antipyretic, analgesic, anti-inflammatory, and hepatoprotective activities. Therefore, T. macroptera should be proposed and further evaluated as a potential improved traditional medicine for the treatment of liver-related disorders and for the relief of pain and fever.","PeriodicalId":199864,"journal":{"name":"Planta Medica International Open","volume":"07 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-04-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130222874","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Disruptions in the melanogenesis process may result to hypopigmentation, as observed in cutaneous postinflammatory conditions. Here, the bioactivity of tara tannin, specifically on melanogenesis, was evaluated in vitro using human epidermal melanocytes (HEM) and B16F10 murine melanoma cells in order to determine the possibility that it may be used as a treatment against hypopigmentation. The melanin content of tara tannin-treated B16F10 cells and the expression level of melanogenesis enzymes and melanosome transport proteins were determined. To elucidate the underlying mechanism of tara tannin’s effect on melanogenesis, DNA microarray analysis was performed. Tara tannin significantly increased melanogenesis in both murine and human pigment cell models by upregulating melanogenesis-associated enzymes’ (tyrosinase, tyrosinase-related protein 1, and dopachrome tautomerase) protein and mRNA expression levels, as well as the melanosome transport proteins (myosin Va and RAB27A) expression, both attributed to increased microphthalmia-associated transcription factor (MITF) expression. Global gene expression analysis results revealed the modulation of genes (p≤0.05; fold-change ≥2.0 and ≤−2.0) that are under the transcriptional regulation of MITF and genes relevant for MAPK signaling, metabolic pathways, and cell cycle. Tara tannin has a significant effective melanogenesis-promoting effect, making it a potential therapeutic agent against hypopigmentation disorders.

The risk of ingesting these substances in herbal preparations, either from their inherent presence in plants or through contamination with pyrrolizidine alkaloid-containing weeds, should not be underestimated. A promising molecular imprinted polymer was developed previously to minimise exposure to these compounds. Due to the high costs of the template and the risk of template bleeding, an alternative and more economic pyrrolizidine alkaloid depleting strategy is still required. Core imprinting, which focuses on the most important structural element in the target molecule, was investigated using triethylamine and tetraethylammonium as easily available and cheap alternative templates. The suitability of core imprinting was demonstrated using a pyrrolizidine alkaloid standard solution if an excess of an alternative template compared to monocrotaline was used for imprinting. Matrix trials in pyrrolizidine alkaloid-spiked Mentha piperita, Chelidonium majus, Glycyrrhiza glabra, and Matricaria chamomilla extracts containing Echium vulgare revealed better pyrrolizidine alkaloid binding than demonstrated for the original molecular imprinted polymer. Echimidine and echimidine-N-oxide were depleted in the range of 31.8–70.0 and 26.1–45.1%, respectively. However, solvent-dependent differences in pyrrolizidine alkaloid binding and inherent plant analytical marker compounds were observed. Hence, binding of analytical marker compounds was better minimised in methanolic than in ethanolic extracts. The present study reveals core imprinting to be an economic alternative approach for depleting pyrrolizidine alkaloids in plant extracts.","PeriodicalId":199864,"journal":{"name":"Planta Medica International Open","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-03-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125255190","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
