“…Regarding the profiles of individual compounds within this class, two quercetin derivatives were identified ( Table 2 ), namely, quercetin-3- O -glucoside ( peak 20 ) and quercetin-3- O -rutinoside ( peak 21 ). Other authors, in different species of fruits belonging to the genus Prunus , such as Prunus domestica , Prunus avium , Prunus cerasus , Prunus serotina , and Prunus armenica , and similar to what was observed in this study, verified that the quercetin derivatives were the major representatives of the flavonol class, with quercetin-3- O -rutinoside being the one with the highest expression [ 18 , 54 , 74 , 93 , 105 , 106 , 107 ].…”

Prunus lusitanica L., also known as Portuguese laurel or locally known as ‘azereiro’, is a rare species with ornamental and ecological value. Only two studies regarding the bioactivity and chemical composition of its leaves were reported to date. Thus, the present study aims to qualitatively and quantitatively evaluate the phenolic profile, through HPLC-PAD-ESI-MS/MS (high-performance liquid chromatography–photodiode array detection–electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry), as well as the radical scavenging capacity, through ABTS (2,2’-azino-bis-3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) and DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1 picrylhydrazyl), and the reducing power (FRAP, ferric reducing antioxidant power) assays, of P. lusitanica fruits during a 4-year study. In total, 28 compounds were identified and quantified in the fruits, including 21 hydroxycinnamic acids (60.3%); 2 flavan-3-ols (27.9%), 2 anthocyanins (10.5%), 2 flavonols (1.0%), and 1 secoiridoid (0.3%). High antioxidant capacity was observed, with ABTS values ranging from 7.88 to 10.69 mmol TE (Trolox equivalents)/100 g fw (fresh weight), DPPH values from 5.18 to 8.17 mmol TE/100 g fw, and FRAP values from 8.76 to 11.76 mmol TE/100 g fw. According to these results, it can be concluded that these are rich sources of phenolic compounds with very promising antioxidant capacity and, therefore, with potential applications in the food and/or phytopharmaceutical sectors.

“…The higher TSC of the fruits collected in 2021 could be explained by the maturity stage and/or annual weather conditions [ 6 , 29 , 30 ]. Our results showed that monosaccharides are the predominant soluble carbohydrates in fruit, with glucose as the major component, and were in accordance with previous findings for “Čačanska Lepotica” [ 9 , 27 , 28 ] and other cultivars of Prunus domestica [ 2 , 6 , 9 , 19 , 27 , 29 ]. It is worth mentioning that the contents of sucrose, glucose, fructose, and sorbitol differed from those published recently for the plum cultivar “Čačanska Lepotica” collected from the same place [ 13 ].…”

“…Fruit grafted on “Wavit”, “Janka”, “GF-677”, and “Ishtara” contained almost equal amounts of glucose ( p > 0.05). The TSC determined in this study was similar to that found for Čačanska Lepotica” grown in the farms near Čačak (10.18–11.15%) and Belgrade (9.7–14.7%) in Serbia [ 9 , 27 ] and near Ljubljana, Slovenia (9.3–11.1%) [ 28 ], but differed from that published recently for the fruits collected from the same place in 2018/2019 [ 13 ]. The higher TSC of the fruits collected in 2021 could be explained by the maturity stage and/or annual weather conditions [ 6 , 29 , 30 ].…”

We investigated the influence of different rootstocks on the content of sugars, organic acids, and antioxidant phenolic compounds in the whole fruit and fruit skin of the European plum cultivar “Čačanska Lepotica”. 1H NMR of the fruit extracts allowed for the identification of sucrose, α- and β-glucose, sorbitol, fructose, and malic and quinic acids, while LC–DAD–ESIMS showed the presence of neochlorogenic and chlorogenic acids, cyanidin-3-O-glucoside, cyanidin-3-O-rutinoside, peonidin-3-O-glucoside, peonidin-3-O-rutinoside, hyperoside, isoquercitrin, rutin, and unidentified quercetin-3-diglycoside. The quantitation of the sugars, malic and quinic acids by 1H NMR and phenolic compounds by HPLC–DAD revealed that the rootstock significantly influenced the content of the individual compounds in the fruit skin and fruit. The fruit grafted on “Wavit” rootstock was characterized by significant amounts of neochlorogenic acid, peonidin-3-O-rutinoside, cyanidin-3-O-rutinoside, and sucrose, while the fruit on “GXN-15” was characterized by high levels of sugars, cyanidin-3-O-glucoside, and malic and chlorogenic acids. The fruit skins of plums grafted on “Wavit” were the richest in sugars, organic acids, and phenolic compounds. A good correlation was observed between the content of total phenolics (TPC), flavonoids (TFC), anthocyanins (TAC), and individual phenolic compounds in the extracts of the fruit and the fruit skins and their antioxidant capacity (DPPH, ABTS, and FRAP).

“…The production of phytochemicals in the plant metabolism is a dynamic process [47,48] and depends on several factors, including the vegetative period, collection year and time, and geographic locations [49][50][51][52]. Several studies have shown that both total and individual phenolic compounds have even changed in the same species due to geographical factors [37,39,53].…”

Epilobium hirsutum is extensively used as a traditional remedy in folk medicine, especially against prostate inflammation. Therefore, we evaluated the chemical profiles and biopharmaceutical potentials of different extracts of E. hirsutum aerial parts and roots. Metabolomic, antioxidant, and enzyme inhibitory profiles were investigated. Human prostate cancer PC3 cells were exposed to the extracts to evaluate antiproliferative effects. Gene expression and bioinformatics analyses were performed to investigate anti-inflammatory mechanisms. Oenothein B and myricetin were prominent compounds in the extracts. In scavenging/reducing assays, the methanol, infusion, and methanol/water extracts exhibited similar activities. We also observed the reduction of PC3 viability occurring following exposure to methanol and methanol/water extracts. According to bioinformatics analysis, myricetin was predicted to interact with COX-2 and TNFα. The interaction between TNFα and oxo-dihydroxy-octadecenoic acid was predicted as well. Intriguingly, the gene expression of COX-2 and TNFα was reduced in PC3 cells after exposure to methanol and methanol/water extracts. These effects were paralleled by the decreased gene expression of IL-8 and NFkB and the inhibition of PGE2 release. Therefore, the present findings suggest the potential use of E. hirsutum for the management of the burden of inflammation and oxidative stress occurring in lower urinary tract diseases, including prostatitis.
