They are mostly known as mountain tea or Shepard tea and in the last few years, they are on the spotlight due to the production of an enormous variety of bioactive secondary metabolites exerting a wide range of pharmaceutical applications. In the present study the biochemical value and the health promoting components of various indigenous Sideritis species was assessed: S. perforiata subsp. perfoliata, S. perfoliata subsp. athoa, S. syriaca, S. raeseri, S. scardica. A thorough biochemical analysis was conducted, including total phenols and flavonoid content, antioxidant activity, amino acids, elemental and polar/non polar metabolite profiling. S. perfoliata subsp. perfoliata had the most diverse and rich terpene profile among the studied species, while its infusion had the highest phenol and flavonoid content thus, showed the highest antioxidant activity. The diverse chemotype of Sideritis species can be used as a guide on the preparation of tea mixes with the desired metabolite content targeting specialized medical applications or may assist on the design of breeding strategies.","PeriodicalId":91359,"journal":{"name":"Medicinal & aromatic plants","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"69991548","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}

This cause contributes to the failure of the treatment and favors the appearance of drug-resistant strains. Currently, alternatives are being sought to counteract this hepatic-damage, and medicinal plants, natural compounds and/or biological products are of great interest. In this manuscript we describe current data on the hepato-protective effect from extracts of medicinal plants, compounds isolated from them and biological products that protect against liver damage caused by antitubercular (anti-TB) drugs caused by therapy in patients with tuberculosis (TB). The main consulted databases were: PubMed, Worldwidescience.org, and Scopus, including records between 2000 and 2018 years. Thus, we found many articles about hepatoprotective effect from medicinal plants and polyherbal preparations (Hepatoplus and Liv 52), the majority of these have an important effect (on preclinical study) due to their antioxidant compounds content. In addition, the hepatoprotective activity of biological products and/or natural compounds has been discussed and it should be noted that the quercetin (natural antioxidant compound)/ polyvinylpyrrolidone mixture protects against hepatic damage caused by therapy in patients with TB. Another interesting compound with good effect in TB patients is N-acetylcysteine (an oral marketed mucolytic drug) which could be repurposed as an hepatoprotective drug. We consider that these findings are of great interest for researchers and clinicians, also for the development of new agents as well as for the therapeutic use of hepatoprotective substances in patients with TB, which helps reduce the toxic effects that drugs cause.","PeriodicalId":91359,"journal":{"name":"Medicinal & aromatic plants","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"69991990","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}

Thus, the aim of this investigation was characterize and evaluate the antitumor potential of crude hydroethanolic extract from the bare stem parts of this plant, as well as its ethyl acetate and methanolic fractions. For the characterization, the crude extract was submitted to qualitative (phytochemical screening and analysis by direct flow injection by mass spectrometry-FIA-ESI-IT-MS) and quantitative tests (determination of phenolic compounds and determination of total flavonoids and anthocyanins). In order to study the antitumor potential, MTT technique was used to evaluate the cellular metabolism of canine breast cancer tumor cells (TCM) and osteosarcoma (OST). The results demonstrated the presence of polyphenols, mainly flavonoids and tannins. In addition, were observed an increase in metabolism when TCM and OST cells were incubated with all extracts of L. candicans.

(b) to retrieve underlying mechanisms responsible for anti-diabetic effects triggered by the plant. Alloxan was used to induce diabetes mellitus in rates. Two standard drugs (Glibenclamide 2.5 mg/kg, insulin 4 U/200 mg/dl blood glucose) and various doses of organic plant extract from different morphological parts (100 mg/kg, 250 mg/kg and 500 mg/kg) were administered orally to the groups of healthy and diabetic rats for 20 days. ANOVA followed by t-test was used for the statistical analysis. Organic extract from Musa paradisiaca L. flowers and tracheal fluid have significant hypoglycemic activity. Significantly reduce the levels of bad cholesterol (LDL) while significantly enhance healthy cholesterol (HDL) levels in diabetes rats. Moreover, Organic extract from Musa paradisiaca L. flowers and tracheal fluid may restore normal morphology in the diabetic rats.

The antimicrobial activity and inhibition diameter of methanolic and ethanolic extracts of pawpaw and fluted pumpkin leaves were evaluated against eight (8) clinical strains of bacteria isolated from Clarias gariepinus using agar well diffusion method. Minimum inhibitory concentration and phytochemical screening of these plants were determined using standard methods. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics. The results of the present study showed that the zone of inhibition varies with the bacteria and the type of extracts. Ethanolic extract has better diameter of zone of inhibition than the methanolic extracts with highest zone of inhibition recorded in Pseudomonas aeruginosa (16.00 ± 0.02 mm) for fluted pumpkin leaves extracts and the lowest in Staphylococcus epidermidis (8.00 ± 0.01 mm) and Aeromonas hydrophilia (8.00 ± 0.00 mm) for fluted pumpkin leaves extracts respectively. Minimum inhibitory concentration of methanolic and ethanolic extract of pawpaw and fluted pumpkin leaves on the pathogenic bacteria tested were 425 μg/ml, and 850 μg/ml respectively.
