“…The stored commercial oleaster fruits contain seven phenolic acids in their methanolic solution by HPLC [10]. While 4-hydroxybenzoic acid in the benzoic group and caffeic acid in the cinnamic group were the most abundant phenolic acids (45.8 and 32.0 mg/100 g, respectively), benzoic acid in the benzoic group and ferrulic acid in the cinnamic group were less abundant (11.6 and 2.3 mg/1.000 g, respectively) in the HPLC analyses [25].…”

This study was performed to demonstrate α-glucosidase and α-amylase enzyme inhibitor activities using the methanolic extracts of Elaeagnus angustifolia leaves. Methanolic extracts were prepared by two different extraction methods [accelerated solvent extractor (ASE) and Soxhlet apparatus]. The analytical procedure involved the application of liquid chromatography. Our results showed that the ASE extracts inhibited α-amylase (10-100 µg/ ml) and α-glucosidase (10-50 µg/ml) dose-dependently exhibitedrp inhibitory activities with the extracts [α-amylase (40%) and α-glucosidase (56%)]. RP-HPLC analyses of the methanolic extracts were detected with vanillic acid and 4-hydroxybenzoic acid as the main phenolic acids in all the ASE extracts. Elaeagnus angustifolia leaf extracts may be attributed to the presence of vanillic acid and 4-hydroxybenzoic acid, there by confirming with its traditional use for the management of diabetes mellitus. We implicate that the anti-diabetic activity through in vitro assessments and support to the folkloric use of this plant for controlling type-2 diabetes mellitus in Turkey.

Objective Elaeagnus angustifolia L., commonly known as oleaster or Russian olive, is used worldwide as a traditional natural remedy or nutritional agent for the management of a wide range of illnesses. The aim of the present study is to comprehensively review the ethnopharmacological uses, biological activities and phytochemistry of E. angustifolia. Key findings Modern scientific investigations suggest that the plant possesses a broad spectrum of pharmacological and therapeutic effects, including antimicrobial, insecticidal, antioxidant, anti-arthritic, wound healing, cardioprotective, hypolipidemic, antinociceptive, anti-inflammatory, antimutagenic, antitumour and gastroprotective activity. Various phytochemical constituents, including β-carboline alkaloids, polysaccharides, esters, flavone glycosides, phenols, phenolic acids, ketones, phenyl ethers, pyrimidines, steroids and terpenes, as well as nutritional components such as essential and non-essential amino acids and nutraceuticals like vitamins and fatty acids, have been identified in E. angustifolia. Summary Considering its wide variety of pharmacological activity as well as its huge diversity of active phytochemicals, E. angustifolia could be proposed as a good candidate for discovering new drugs. Further clinical and experimental studies are necessary to reveal the beneficial therapeutic, safety and pharmaceutical properties of E. angustifolia and its phytochemicals as a complementary and alternative medicine for the management of various disorders.
