Evaluation of the status quo of polyphenols analysis: Part I—phytochemistry, bioactivity, interactions, and industrial uses

Abstract

Phytochemicals, especially polyphenols, are gaining more attention from both the scientific community and food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetics industries due to their implications in human health. In this line, lately new applications have emerged, and of great importance is the selection of accurate and reliable analytical methods for better evaluation of the quality of the end-products, which depends on diverse process variables as well as on the matrices and on the physicochemical properties of different polyphenols. The first of a two-part review on polyphenols will address the phytochemistry and biological activities of different classes of polyphenols including flavonoids, lignans and flavanolignans, stilbenoids, tannins, curcuminoids, and coumarins. Moreover, the possible interactions of polyphenols and current and potential industrial applications of polyphenols are discussed.

Optimization of Pressurized Liquid Extraction and In Vitro Neuroprotective Evaluation of Ammodaucus leucotrichus. Untargeted Metabolomics Analysis by UHPLC-MS/MS

“…Therefore, the detected presence of the Flavonoid derivatives in Ammodaucus leucotrichus fruit extract was not surprising [10]. Different studies have shown that the Flavonoid glycosides possess a wide variety of pharmacological activities, such as antioxidant and anti-inflammatory [40,41]. Other compounds identification was based on the MS data; only some of them could be confirmed by previous research in this plant or taxonomical members [42][43][44][45][46][47][48][49][50][51].…”

Protective Effects of Diets Rich in Polyphenols in Cigarette Smoke (CS)-Induced Oxidative Damages and Associated Health Implications

“…The chemical nature and biological potential of flavonoids depend on their structural class, degree of hydroxylation, other functional group substitutions, conjugations, and degree of polymerization, which categorize them in different subclasses ( Table 1 ) [ 91 ]. The different category of flavonoids varies in the arrangement of substitution of the C ring, while different compounds within a class differ in the pattern of substitution of the A and B rings.…”

Herbicidal properties of antihypertensive drugs: calcium channel blockers

“…Studies have shown that verapamil inhibits the influx of Ca 2+ into the root apex of rice and wheat, while nifedipine prevents the development of root hair and pollen grain germination of Arabidopsis 16 . The calcium antagonist properties are displayed by a broad number of pure natural compounds, primarily coumarins, which have been identified and isolated from plants 14 , 17 .…”
