A study on in vitro enzyme inhibitory properties of Asphodeline anatolica: New sources of natural inhibitors for public health problems
Scopus
Toplam 133 atıf DOI
Asphodeline species are traditionally used as food and medicines. The different extracts (acetone, methanol and water) from different parts (stem, root, seed and leaf) of Asphodeline anatolica were screened for inhibitory potentials on cholinesterase, tyrosinase, α-amylase and α-glucosidase. Enzyme inhibitory effects were investigated by using microplate reader. All studied extracts exhibited remarkable inhibitory effects on the tested enzymes. Generally, acetone and methanol extracts have higher potentials than water extracts. Also, the enzyme inhibitory activities of the extracts varied significantly according to the plant parts as well as the solvent used. R-Met (7.42. mgGALAEs/g extract) and St-Ac (10.74. mgGALAEs/g extract) had the highest acetylcholinesterase and butrylcholinesterase inhibitory activity, respectively. R-Met (22.48. mgKAEs/g extract) exhibited the strongest tyrosinase inhibitory effects, while Se-Ac had the most potent activity on both α-amylase (2.53. mmolACAEs/g extract) and α-glucosidase (6.70. mmolACAEs/g extract). The results suggested that the A. anatolica extract may be useful for food and medicinal applications.

Currently, there is a renewed interest towards the development of plant-based pharmacophores. In this work, 16 extracts prepared from the leaves, twigs, roots and fruits of a hydro-halophyte, Rhizophora mucronata Lam. (Family: Rhizophoraceae), were studied for possible antioxidant activity and the phenolic profiles established. Thereafter, enzymatic inhibitory activities (α-amylase, α-glucosidase, tyrosinase, acetyl-(AChE), butyrylcholinesterase (BChE), lipase, and elastase) were assessed. The total phenolic, flavonoid, phenolic acid, tannin, flavanol and triterpenoid content were estimated using standard assays. An untargeted metabolomics-based approach, based on ultra-high-pressure liquid chromatography coupled to quadrupole-time-of-flight mass spectrometry (UHPLC-QTOF-MS) followed by multivariate statistics, was then used to comprehensively profile and describe the phenolics present. UHPLC-QTOF-MS allowed for putatively annotating 104 phenolic acids, 103 flavonols, 94 flavones, 71 anthocyanins, 66 tyrosols, 29 lignans, 15 alkylphenols and 10 stilbenes in the extracts. Nine strains (Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), Salmonella enteritidis, Sarcina lutea, Proteus mirabilis, Bacillus cereus and Candida albicans) were then used to investigate the antimicrobial properties. The methanolic twig extract exhibited significant reducing potential towards Cu (II)/Cu (I) and Fe (III)/Fe (II) (1336.88 ± 15.70 and 710.18 ± 21.04 mg TE/g, respectively) and was the most potent DPPH radical scavenger (807.07 ± 6.83 mg TE/g). Additionally, the methanolic twig extract showed significant inhibition against most targeted enzymes. Anti-microbial results showed that all extracts were active against MRSA. Multivariate analysis demonstrated that the phenolic profile of ethyl acetate extracts and leaves were the two most discriminative parameters in terms of solvents and organs, respectively. The present findings indicated that R. mucronata may be further explored for the management/prevention of oxidative stress, neurodegenerative complications and hyperpigmentation.
