Toplam 432 atıf DOI
The genus Potentilla is interesting for the pharmaceutical field due to its valuable medicinal properties, which have been observed in complementary and alternative medicine. In recent years, studies conducted to estimate the biological activity of several of the Potentilla species have shown a wide spectrum of therapeutic properties. In particular, in the present paper, different extracts obtained from the herb P. thuringiaca were analysed for antioxidant and enzyme inhibitory activities. The UHPLC-DAD-MS3 hyphenated techniques reported herein allow for the identification of phytoconstituents. The analyses showed the presence of flavonoids and ellagitannins as major components. Furthermore, the data demonstrated that the analysed extracts revealed a high total antioxidant capacity in the phosphomolybdenum assay. The free radical scavenging activity of the extracts was evaluated using DPPH and ABTS assays. The reducing power activity of P. thuringiaca was also determined by FRAP and CUPRAC assays, as well as metal chelating activity. In addition, the total extracts and the different fractions of P. thuringiaca revealed potent inhibitory activities against α-amylase and α-glucosidase, AChE, tyrosinase and lipase. Surprisingly, no activity against BChE was shown. P. thuringiaca could be a valuable natural source of antioxidants with interesting inhibitory actions against the key enzymes involved in several human diseases, and could represent a valid starting point for the development of new treatment and management strategies, including its use as a food supplement.

Aim: Contribute to the well-being of the Ivorian population through scientific proof of the use of Terminalia cattapa leaves extracts in traditional medicine. Methodology: The antioxidative effect of aqueous, water-alcoholic, ethyl acetate and hexane derivatives of Terminalia catappa leaves was measured by six tests: DPPH (2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl), ABTS (2,2′-azino-bis (3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid)), FRAP (ferric ion reducing antioxidant power), PPBD (phosphomolybdenum), CUPRAC (cupric ion reducing antioxidant capacity) and MCA (metal chelating activity). The inhibition of the activity of five enzymes (acetylcholinesterase, butyrylcholinesterase, tyrosinase, amylase and glucosidase) was also determined. In addition, the broadcast method was used to evaluate impact of the samples on methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) strains. Results: Highest antioxidant capacity was obtained in the ethanolic sample for DPPH, ABTS, FRAP and PPBD tests. Ethyl acetate sample produced the best CUPRAC and MCA tests. Among inhibitory effect of samples on the five enzymes, aqueous sample showed the strongest anti-acetylCholynesterase and anti-butyrylCholynesterase activity. Best anti-tyrosinase and anti-amylase activity were obtained with the ethanolic sample. Hexane sample obtained the best anti-glucosidase activity while ethanolic and aqueous samples obtained none. All extracts showed no activity on the MRSA strains tested. Conclusion: The chemical compounds present in Terminalia cattapa leaves extracts would not be responsible for the use made in traditional medicine against infections.
