Antioxidant potentials and anticholinesterase activities of methanolic and aqueous extracts of three endemic Centaurea L. species

Toplam 223 atıf DOI
The methanol and aqueous extracts of three endemic Centaurea species (C. polypodiifolia var pseudobehen, C. pyrrhoblephara and C. antalyense) were investigated for their antioxidant and cholinesterase inhibitory activities. The antioxidant activities of these extracts were evaluated by in vitro models including, phosphomolybdenum assay, free radical scavenging assays (DPPH and ABTS), β-carotene/linoleic acid test system, metal chelating assay, FRAP assay, ferric and cupric reducing power. Cholinesterase inhibitory activities were examined using Ellman's colorimetric method. Total phenol, flavonoid, and saponin contents were also measured. Among the six Centaurea extracts evaluated, the highest antioxidant abilities were obtained from C. polypodiifolia var pseudobehen. Methanolic extracts from C. polypodiifolia var pseudobehen and C. antalyense had a noticeable inhibition towards AChE and BChE. These findings suggest that Centaurea species could be an anticholinesterase agent and antioxidant resource in some industries, such as food, pharmacology, and cosmetics. © 2013 Elsevier Ltd.

This study examined the antioxidant and anti-tyrosinase activity and phenolic profiles of three extracts (ethyl acetate, methanol and water) obtained from different anatomical parts (bulb, stem and seed) of Ornithogalum narbonense. Antioxidant activity of the extracts was evaluated using DPPH*, ABTS+*, FRAP, CUPRAC, metal chelating and phosphomolybdenum assays. Tyrosinase inhibitory activity was measured using the modified dopachrome method with l-DOPA as the substrate. Phenolic content of the extracts varied according to plant part and extraction solvent and included HPLC-DAD, epicatechin, rutin, ferulic, protocateuchic p-hydroxybenzoic, chlorogenic, caffeic, benzoic and rosmarinic acids. The ethyl acetate extract of O. narbonense bulb samples demonstrated the most antioxidant and anti-tyrosinase activity and had the highest phenolic content. All other extracts showed moderate antioxidant and anti-tyrosinase activity. O. narbonense extracts, especially ethanol extract of O. narbonense bulbs, may have dietary and medicinal applications.
