Bioactive constituents of Lathyrus czeczottianus and ethyl acetate and water extracts and their biological activities: An endemic plant to Turkey

Antioxidant, Antiglaucoma, Anticholinergic, and Antidiabetic Effects of Kiwifruit (Actinidia deliciosa) Oil: Metabolite Profile Analysis Using LC-HR/MS, GC/MS and GC-FID

“…Researchers have shown a great deal of interest in developing novel medications based on the biological actions of diverse plants used in traditional or folk medicine for the treatment of diseases as a result of the rising interest in natural herbal extracts. Their medicinal benefits come from phytochemical ingredients that exhibit pharmacological features, including anticarcinogenic, antioxidant, bacterial, antiviral, and antimutagenic properties [ 47 ]. Chemicals that have antioxidant effects are found in the majority of medicinal and aromatic plants.…”

Phytochemical compositions, antioxidant properties, enzyme inhibitory effects of extracts of four endemic Lathyrus L. taxa from Türkiye and a taxonomic approach

“…Various studies have been conducted to investigate the TPC and TFC values of the extracts of different Lathyrus taxa obtained by using different solvents, such as ethyl acetate, methanol, water, etc. Aerial parts of plants have been used in some of these studies (Heydari et al 2015;Llorent-Martinez et al 2016;2017a;Ceylan et al 2021;Eyiiş & Karadeniz-Pekgöz 2021) and seeds have been used in others (Pastor-Cavada et al 2009;Marathe et al 2011;Fratianni et al 2014;Ozbek-Yazici et al 2020;Eyiiş & Karadeniz-Pekgöz 2021). It is not possible to make healthy comparisons with some of the studies mentioned above, as there are differences in solvents, used plant parts or the ways the results are expressed.…”

“…Comparisons become difficult due to differences in the methods of obtaining the extracts, the used parts of the plant, and the presentation of the results (Llorent-Martinez et al 2016). It has been stated that differences in bioactive components are related to genetic variations, climatic conditions, soil structure, region where the plants grow, habitat properties and the other ecological factors (Llorent-Martinez et al 2016;Ozbek-Yazici et al 2020;Zengin et al 2020;Ceylan et al 2021). The total bioactive components can be different even in the extracts obtained from the same species according to in the solvent, the plant parts used, or region which the plants were collected.…”

“…Within the genus, the main phenolic compounds were reported as chlorogenic acid, epicatechin, and benzoic acid for L. czeczottianus Bässler (Ceylan et al 2021), quercetin and kaempferol for both L. cicera L. and L. digitatus (Bieb.) Fiori (Llorent-Martinez et al 2017a) There are a number of studies testing the bioactive components, antioxidant properties and enzyme inhibitory properties of extracts obtained using the aerial parts or seeds of some taxa of the genus (Pastor-Cavada et al 2009;Fratianni et al 2014;Heydari et al 2015;Llorent-Martinez et al 2016;2017a;Ozbek-Yazici et al 2020;Ceylan et al 2021;Eyiiş & Karadeniz-Pekgöz 2021). In these studies, there are differences in the used parts of the plant, the used tests, and the way the results are expressed.…”

Determination of Antioxidant, Anti-Alzheimer, Antidiabetic, Antiglaucoma and Antimicrobial Effects of Zivzik Pomegranate (Punica granatum)—A Chemical Profiling by LC-MS/MS

“…Numerous AD treatment strategies have been developed. The inhibition of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) is one of the most important strategies [ 23 , 24 ]. In particular, in several medical conditions, such as carcinogenesis, coronary atherosclerosis, AD, and age-related disorders, lipid peroxidative destruction has been linked to biologically active substances with antioxidant effects.…”
