“…Quercetin and naringenin were reported as the most often cited allelopathic flavonoids (Berhow and Vaughn (1999)). Naringenin was reported to inhibit the growth of soybean (Bido et al 2010). These bioactive compounds might play a role in the allelopathic activity of R. tingitana either singular or in a synergetic manner.…”

Reichardia tingitana is an annual plant growing in different habitats of the Egyptian deserts. Little is known about variation among the habitats occupied by this species, its distribution, chemical composition, and allelopathic activity. The present study aimed to (a) assess the vegetation composition of three different habitats (Western Coast, Delta Coast, and Wadi Hagoul) of R. tingitana in Egypt, (b) determine their correlation to soil factors, (c) identify the changes in the bioactive constituents of R. tingitana in the three regions, and (d) evaluate the allelopathic activity regarding the variation in the habitat. Density and cover of all plant species associated with R. tingitana were estimated within 52 plots, representing three regions. Physical and chemical parameters of soil were analyzed in each plot. R. tingitana aboveground biomass was collected from each habitat, and the bioactive composition was analyzed using HPLC. The allelopathic effect against two weeds (Amaranthus lividius and Chenopodium murale) was assessed. The floristic composition showed the presence of 133 species belonging to 27 families. In the Delta Coast habitat of R. tingitana, Zygophyllum aegyptium and Calligonum polygonoides co-dominate, while Lycium shawii dominate the Western Coast habitat and finally the habitat of Wadi Hagoul was dominated by Haloxylon salicornicum. Soil analysis revealed little variations among habitats, especially salinity and organic matter. Fifteen compounds, mainly phenolics (60% of the total identified compounds) were identified from all R. tingitana samples. The major compounds were quercetin, naringenin, ellagic, gallic, chlorogenic, and caffeic acids. These compounds varied in diversity or quantity among different habitats. The Western Coast sample was the richest in species, followed by Delta Coast sample. Our study showed that salinity is the crucial factor that induces the production of bioactive constituents in R. tingitana, especially phenolics and flavonoids. The R. tingitana extracts significantly reduced the germination and growth of Chenopodium and Amaranthus. However, the Western Coast sample showed potent allelopathic activity, where the germination was wholly inhibited at 75 mg L−1 and 50 mg L−1, respectively. Thereby, this extract could be used as eco-friendly bioherbicide and may be integrated into weed control strategies.

“…Within the flavonoids class, naringenin is a flavanone that derives from naringin or narirutin (its glycone precursor) hydrolysis [5]. In fact, naringenin occupies a central position as primary C 15 intermediate in the flavonoid biosynthesis pathway [6]. Naringenin biosynthesis has been investigated in Medicago , parsley and other plants.…”

The Therapeutic Potential of Naringenin: A Review of Clinical Trials

et al. 2019

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Naringenin is a flavonoid belonging to flavanones subclass. It is widely distributed in several Citrus fruits, bergamot, tomatoes and other fruits, being also found in its glycosides form (mainly naringin). Several biological activities have been ascribed to this phytochemical, among them antioxidant, antitumor, antiviral, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, antiadipogenic and cardioprotective effects. Nonetheless, most of the data reported have been obtained from in vitro or in vivo studies. Although some clinical studies have also been performed, the main focus is on naringenin bioavailability and cardioprotective action. In addition, these studies were done in compromised patients (i.e., hypercholesterolemic and overweight), with a dosage ranging between 600 and 800 μM/day, whereas the effect on healthy volunteers is still debatable. In fact, naringenin ability to improve endothelial function has been well-established. Indeed, the currently available data are very promising, but further research on pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic aspects is encouraged to improve both available production and delivery methods and to achieve feasible naringenin-based clinical formulations.

“…This inhibitory effect of Nar was attributed at least to some extent, through impaired auxin transport. Deng et al (2004) suggested that it exert its inhibitory effect by inhibiting the activity of the key enzyme of the phenylpropanoid pathway, 4-coumarate: CoA ligase, whereas Bido et al (2010) assumed that the action site of naringenin may be related to other enzymes working at later steps of the phenylpropanoid pathway, such as cell wall-bound POX or, perhaps, cinnamyl alcohol dehydrogenase. Hence, the mode of action of naringenin still remains an open question in plant systems.…”

Flavonoid Naringenin Alleviates Short-Term Osmotic and Salinity Stresses Through Regulating Photosynthetic Machinery and Chloroplastic Antioxidant Metabolism in Phaseolus vulgaris

et al. 2020

The current study was conducted to demonstrate the possible roles of exogenously applied flavonoid naringenin (Nar) on the efficiency of PSII photochemistry and the responses of chloroplastic antioxidant of salt and osmotic-stressed Phaseolus vulgaris (cv. Yunus90). For this aim, plants were grown in a hydroponic culture and were treated with Nar (0.1 mM and 0.4 mM) alone or in a combination with salt (100 mM NaCl) and/or osmotic (10% Polyethylene glycol, −0.54 MPa). Both caused a reduction in water content (RWC), osmotic potential ( ), chlorophyll fluorescence (F v /F m ), and potential photochemical efficiency (F v /F o ). Nar reversed the changes on these parameters. The phenomenological fluxes (TR o /CS and ET o /CS) altered by stress were induced by Nar and Nar led to a notable increase in the performance index (PI ABS ) and the capacity of light reaction [ P o /(1-P o )]. Besides, Nar-applied plants exhibited higher specific fluxes values [ABS/RC, ET o /RC, and E o /(1-E o )] and decreasing controlled dissipation of energy (DI o /CS o and DI o /RC). The transcripts levels of psbA and psbD were lowered in stress-treated bean but upregulated in Nar-treated plants after stress exposure.Nar also alleviated the changes on gas exchange parameters [carbon assimilation rate (A), stomatal conductance (g s ), intercellular CO 2 concentrations (C i ), transpiration rate (E), and stomatal limitation (L s )]. By regulating the antioxidant metabolism of the isolated chloroplasts, Nar was able to control the toxic levels of hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ) and TBARS (lipid peroxidation) produced by stresses. Chloroplastic superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity reduced by stresses was increased by Nar. In response to NaCl, Nar increased the activities of ascorbate peroxidase (APX), glutathione reductase (GR), monodehydroascorbate reductase (MDHAR), and dehydroascorbate reductase (DHAR), as well as peroxidase (POX). Nar protected the bean chloroplasts by minimizing disturbances caused by NaCl exposure via the ascorbate (AsA) and glutathione (GSH) redox-based systems. Under Nar plus PEG, Nar maintained the AsA regeneration by
