The interest of medicinal plants as therapeutic agents against diseases such as Alzheimer, skin disorders and diabetes mellitus is growing. In order to investigate the influence of Haplophyllum myrtifolium, four solvent extracts (petroleum ether, ethyl acetate, methanol and water) were screened for antioxidant potentials, anti-cholinesterase, anti-tyrosinase, anti-amylase and anti-glycosidase activity. Antioxidant effects were elucidated by different assays including free radical scavenging (ABTS, DPPH and NO assay), reducing power (FRAP and CUPRAC), phosphomolybdenum, β-carotene/linoleic acid system and metal chelating. Total phenolic, flavonoid, flavanol, tannin and saponin contents in these extracts were also calculated. Generally, ethyl acetate extract showed the strongest antioxidant activity in these extracts. This activity may be related to a good total phenolic content. The total phenolic contents of these extracts ranged from 32.32 to 52.50. mg GAEs/g extract. Except for water extract, all extracts showed good inhibitory activities on cholinesterase, tyrosinase, amylase and glycosidase. Apolar extracts (petroleum ether and ethyl acetate) were more potent as enzyme inhibitors in comparison to polar extracts (methanol and water). These findings reveal that H. myrtifolium could be used a source of natural compounds for the management of oxidative damage, Alzheimer, skin disorders and diabetes mellitus. © 2014 Elsevier B.V.

Havuzumuzda 6 atıf almış
As the safety and effectiveness of synthetic drugs remain in doubt, researchers are trying to develop natural medicines from medicinal plants. Herein, ethyl acetate, methanol and water extracts from the Heracleum humile plant were obtained by an ultrasonic-assisted extraction process and the aim was to evaluate some biological effects of the extracts due to the limited data on the pharmacological properties of Heracleum humile in the literature. Weak antibacterial activity was observed on tested bacterial species. The minimum inhibitory concentration and the minimum bactericidal concentration values ranged from 250 to 500 μg/mL. In addition, cytotoxic activity was determined using the MTT test. The strongest findings were determined for ethyl acetate extract on the MDA-MB-231 cell lines at the 48th hour (IC50:97.94 μg/mL), followed by the MCF-7 cell lines at the 24th hour (IC50:103.9 μg/mL). All extracts of Heracleum humile contained mainly flavonoids, phenolic acids and their derivatives, i. e., well-known compounds that possess numerous biological activities such as antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anticancer, antimicrobial etc. The study results could provide important information that Heracleum humile could be a potential candidate as a natural enzyme inhibitor. It can be concluded that these extracts could be useful in the elementary step of improving novel plant-derived multifunctional pharmaceuticals.
