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.

BACKGROUND: To obtain bioactive fractions from plant material subcritical water is notably advantageous in comparison to any other technique. Excellent solvating properties and selectivity combined with finely tuned reactivity of subcritical water enable exploitation of the potential of plants. Herein subcritical water extraction was used for recovery of bioactive compounds from leaves, roots and fruits of Sambucus ebulus L. Extracts obtained were characterized in terms of biological and chemical fingerprints. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION: Results obtained by using several antioxidant assays that focused on different mechanisms showed that subcritical water extracts of Sambucus ebulus were powerful antioxidants. Enzyme inhibitory effects were tested against α-amylase, α-glucosidase and tyrosinase, and the results showed the anti-diabetic potential of the extracts as well as its possible use with skin disorders. Antiproliferative properties were detected on three cell lines (A-549; LS-174 T; HeLa) and showed prominent cytotoxicity against all tumor cell lines. Inhibitory concentrations obtained were in the range 0.58–8.10 μg mL-1. Generally, the SCW extracts from leaves exhibited stronger biological activities with higher levels of phenolic compounds compared with the roots and fruits of Sambucus ebulus. Gallic acid, catechin and caffeic acid were identified as major components in these extracts and these components seem to relate with observed biological activity. CONCLUSION: The results obtained suggest that Sambucus ebulus has great potential for preparing new phyto-pharmaceuticals and functional food ingredients. © 2017 Society of Chemical Industry.
