This study was focused on the analysis of the phenolic content, fatty acid composition, volatile compounds and antioxidant activity of methanol extract from Centaurea urvillei subsp. stepposa. The antioxidant capacity were detected as 43.35 mg TEs/g, 52.18 mg TEs/g and 98.78 mg TEs/g for DPPH, FRAP and CUPRAC, respectively. Chlorogenic acid and apigenin were the major phenolic components in the extract. Linoleic acid (49.54 %) was the predominant fatty acid in the oil. 1, 3-cyclooctadiene (25.08 %) was major components in the essential oil. The study concluded that Centaurea urvillei subsp. stepposa can be used as a source of natural antioxidants for food and pharmacological industry.

“…The use of natural products in the synthesis process may contribute with other active ingredients that are part of the organism metabolism and therefore can contribute with a synergistic effect on the activity of the nanomaterial. It can be mentioned as alkaloids, polyphenols, terpenes, and peptides, among other components [100,101].…”

“…Since ancient times, plants have been used for the prevention and treatment of a variety of ailments. Across different cultures, they have been the basis of traditional medicine practices and they continue to be important sources of drugs, especially in developing countries that still use herbal medicine as a first line of healthcare ( Salim et al, 2008 ). Members of the Lamiaceae family are considered relevant, due to their therapeutic and culinary uses throughout the world ( Srancikova et al, 2013 ).…”

“…in traditional medicine for the treatment of gastrointestinal infections ( Nyila et al, 2009 ). Similarly, the traditional use of this plant for skin infections may be related to the antibacterial activity of two of its diterpenes, parviflorone D ( Salim et al, 2008 ) and parviflorone F ( Srancikova et al, 2013 ), against Staphylococcus aureus ( Simões et al, 2010 ).…”

Plectranthus ecklonii Benth: A Comprehensive Review Into its Phytochemistry and Exerted Biological Activities

et al. 2021

Ethnopharmacological Relevance:Plectranthus genus (Lamiaceae family) contain several species with acknowledged ethnopharmacological uses, such as, for gastrointestinal and respiratory-related problems, due to their anti-inflammatory, antibacterial and antifungal properties. The bioactivity of isolated medicinal compounds from this genus justifies the increased interest in recent times for species of Plectranthus, placing them in the spotlight for natural product drug development.Aim of the study: To the best of our knowledge, this is the first review on the biological activities of Plectranthus ecklonii Benth. As such, the aim of this review was three-fold: 1) to summarize the chemical compounds isolated from P. ecklonii; 2) to collate the biological activities and mechanisms of action of these compounds from in vitro studies; and 3) to evaluate the documented uses and potential applications of this species, in order to postulate on the direction of pharmaceutical uses of this species.Materials and methods: An extensive database retrieval was performed using the electronic databases Web of Science, PubMed, Google Scholar and ScienceDirect. The search criteria consisted of the keywords “Plectranthus ecklonii”, “Plectranthus ecklonii + review”, “Plectranthus ecklonii + diterpenes” or “Plectranthus ecklonii + abietanes”, “ecklonii + parviflorone D”, searched individually and as combinations. Eligibility criteria were set out and titles in English, Portuguese and Spanish were reviewed, with all references included dating from 1970 to 2021. A total of 169 papers were selected and included. Chemical structures were drawn using ChemDraw 20.0, CID numbers were searched in PubChem and the PRISMA diagram was created using PowerPoint 2012.Results: To date, a total of 28 compounds have been isolated from P. ecklonii, including diterpenes, triterpenes, flavonoids, and hydroxycinnamic acids. Most focused on the antimicrobial action of its constituents, although compounds have demonstrated other bioactivities, namely antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and antitumor. The most recent studies emphasize the diterpenoids, particularly parviflorone D, with the help of nanotechnology.Conclusions: The widespread ethnobotanical and traditional uses of P. ecklonii can be scientifically justified by a range of biological activities, demonstrated by isolated secondary metabolites. These bioactivities showcase the potential of this species in the development of economically important active pharmaceutical ingredients, particularly in anticancer therapy.
