Anti-diabetic and anti-hyperlipidemic properties of Capparis spinosa L.: In vivo and in vitro evaluation of its nutraceutical potential
Scopus
Toplam 151 atıf DOI
In this study, the nutraceutical potential of Capparis spinosa L. for the treatment of hyperglycemic states has been thoroughly investigated. A series of in vivo and in vitro tests have been conducted on fresh leaf, buds and salty buds (24 h desalted) processed to dry powder. 60% MeOH/H2O extracts were obtained for HPLC analysis and for α-amylase and α-glucosidase inhibition tests. To estimate the in vivo anti-diabetic effect, dry powders of C. spinosa leaf and buds were orally administered to streptozocin-induced diabetic rats over a period of 28 days. At the end of the experiment, animals were sacrificed, blood taken for assessment of lipid profile and liver/kidney biochemistry while section of the pancreas, liver and kidneys were processed for general histology. Results showed that the regular administration of C. spinosa leaf or buds normalized all the biochemical parameters and reversed the liver/kidney injury with variable degrees of organ protection.

Chemical composition and pharmacological effects of different extracts of Berberis calliobotrys Bien. ex Koehne were studied. The chemical profile of the methanol, ethyl acetate, n-butanol and aqueous extracts were established by determining their total phenolic and flavonoid contents, besides ultra-high performance liquid chromatography mass spectrometry (UHPLC-MS) of methanol and ethyl acetate extract of Berberis calliobotrys. Antioxidant potential of the extracts was evaluated as inhibition of 2, 2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and 2, 2′-azino-bis (3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulphonic acid (ABTS) free radicals, by reducing power via ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP), by cupric reducing antioxidant capacity (CUPRAC), and by phosphomolybdenum and metal chelation assays. Enzyme inhibitory potential of the extracts was also tested against acetylcholinesterase (AChE), butyrylcholinesterase (BChE), α-glucosidase, α-amylase and tyrosinase. The Bc-W (Berberis calliobotrys aqueous extract) and Bc-M (B. calliobotrys methanol extract) afforded highest phenolic contents with values of 94.34 and 77.70 mgGAE/g extract, respectively, while the Bc-E (Berberis calliobotrys ethyl acetate extract) contained highest flavonoid contents (11.11 mg RE/g extract). UHPLC-MS analysis of Bc-M and Bc-E showed the presence of known secondary metabolites of alkaloid, phenolic, flavonoid, and terpene classes. The Bc-W was the most active in the ABTS, CUPRAC, FRAP and phosphomolybdenum antioxidant assays, whereas for DPPH and metal chelation activities, Bc-M was found to be more potent. The Bc-E and Bc-B (Berberis calliobotrys n-butanol extract) were least active for antioxidant potential. All the extracts showed considerable cholinesterase inhibition, whereas, Bc-E was most potent inhibitor of α-amylase, α-glucosidase and tyrosinase. It is concluded that B. calliobotrys extracts contained variety of bioactive constituents; antioxidant and enzyme inhibitors thus can be considered as a potential candidate for relevant industrial applications.
