“…C3R and P3R have also been reported in several plants, [28][29][30][31] but studies on their functional properties appear to have drawn little attention. In our study, while C3R showed a strong O 2 À scavenging activity, of the same level as that of quercitrin, the activity of P3R was lower than that of C3R or quercitrin (Fig.…”

Two anthocyanins, cyanidin-3--O-rhamnoside (C3R) and pelargonidin-3--O-rhamnoside (P3R), and quercitrin (quercetin-3--O-rhamnoside), were isolated from acerola (Malpighia emarginata DC.) fruit. These polyphenols were evaluated based on the functional properties associated with diabetes mellitus or its complications, that is, on the radical scavenging activity and the inhibitory effect on both -glucosidase and advanced glycation end product (AGE) formation. C3R and quercitrin revealed strong radical scavenging activity. While the inhibitory profiles of isolated polyphenols except quercitrin towards -glucosidase activity were low, all polyphenols strongly inhibited AGE formation.

“…The stem also contained three feruloylquinic acids and small amounts of at least four caffeoyl-feruloylquinic acids (Zheng & Clifford, 2008). The roots of I. batatas contain the coumarins aesculetin (35) (Minamikawa et al, 1962), scopoletin (34) and umbelliferone (36) which have anti-coagulation properties and inhibit HIV replication (Cambie & Ferguson, 2003). Scopoletin (34) presents also hepatoprotective (Kang et al, 1998), antioxidant (Shaw et al, 2003), spasmolytic (Oliveira et al, 2001) and acetylcholinesterase (AchE) inhibitory (Lee et al, 2004) activities, as well as, inhibited proliferation by inducing apoptosis of human adrogen-independent protate adenocarcinoma cells (PC3) (Liu et al, 2001).…”

Approximately 600-700 species of Ipomoea, Convolvulaceae, are found throughout tropical and subtropical regions of the world. Several of those species have been used as ornamental plants, food, medicines or in religious ritual. The present work reviews the traditional uses, chemistry and biological activities of Ipomoea species and illustrates the potential of the genus as a source of therapeutic agents. These species are used in different parts of the world for the treatment of several diseases, such as, diabetes, hypertension, dysentery, constipation, fatigue, arthritis, rheumatism, hydrocephaly, meningitis, kidney ailments and infl ammations. Some of these species showed antimicrobial, analgesic, spasmolitic, spasmogenic, hypoglycemic, hypotensive, anticoagulant, anti-infl ammatory, psychotomimetic and anticancer activities. Alkaloids, phenolics compounds and glycolipids are the most common biologically active constituents from these plant extracts.

“…The re-establishment of native bird harvests is seen by some Maori as the right to express their identity -a desire driven as much (if not more) by the cultural, social and spiritual significance of the practices associated with the harvests, as by the actual need for food (NZCA 1994, King 1994, Kirikiri & Nugent 1995. The health benefits of traditional foods have become widely recognised with increases in diseases like diabetes amongst Maori in New Zealand (Cambie & Ferguson 2003.Therefore, there has been an increasing emphasis to move away from the current westernised energy-dense diet and include a greater proportion of traditional foods (Murphy et al 2003).…”
