The principal objective of this study is to evaluate phenolic content and biological activity in vitro and silico properties of A. acerosum (Willd.) Boiss. subsp. acerosum's (A. acerosum). The antioxidant activity of A. acerosum was assessed in a variety of bioanalytical methods. Strong antioxidant activity was shown for both water (WEAA) and ethanol (EEAA) extracts of the aerial parts of A. Acerosum. Also, it was shown that hyperoside is the most prevalent phenolic compound in EEAA (12,940.83 mg kg(-1)) and WEAA (5409.67 mg kg(-1)) by LCHRMS. The enzyme inhibitory abilities of the EEAA were then realised. The IC50 values of EEAA against acetylcholinesterase (AChE) (E.C.3.1.1.7), alpha-glycosidase (E.C.3.2.1.20), and alpha-amylase (E.C.3.2.1.1) were determined as 1.828 mu g mL(-1), 0.615 mu g mL(-1), and 1.081 mu g mL(-1), respectively. Subsequently, the alpha-amylase, alpha-glycosidase, and AChE enzymes were subjected to molecular docking and molecular dynamic interactions using major compounds of EEAA as ligands. High enzyme-inhibiting properties of EEAA were also determined in silico. It has been reported that numerous traditional and contemporary medical applications of A. acerosum. It can be said that the effective antioxidant results obtained in our study are the basis of previously performed traditional or contemporary medical practices.

The Acantholimon taxon consists of thorny, perennial and subshrub flowering plants. Extraction of various Acantholimon species are traditionally applied to treat liver disease and diabetes and roots are boiled used to treat wounds and skin irritation. Here, we quantified, the radical scavenging activities of ethanol (EEAC) and water (WEAC) extracts of Acantholimon caryophyllaceum Boiss (A. caryophyllaceum) against 1,1-diphenyl-2-picryl-hydrazyl (DPPHGreek ano teleia) and 2,2-azino-bis3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulfonic acid (ABTS*+) as well as their abil-ity to reduce Fe3+, Fe3+-TPTZ, and Cu2+. The antioxidant activities of both extracts were similar to those of standards in all assays. For instance, IC50 of EEAC and WEAC for scavenging DPPH were 19.8 and 69.3 mg/mL, respectively. We also assessed the inhibitory effects of EEAC and WEAC against acetylcholinesterase (AChE), a-amylase and a-glycosidase, which are associated with Alzheimer's disease and diabetes. The ethanol extract inhibited these enzymes with IC50 of 1.137, 0.172 and 0.511 mg/mL, respectively. The results of liquid chromatography-high resolution mass spectrometry (LC-HRMS) revealed that (-)-epigallocatechin was the main phenolic compound in both EEAC and WEAC. Molecular docking analysis revealed binding interactions between the main phenolic compounds (-)-epigallocatechin gallate, (-)-epigallocatechin, fumaric acid, hyperoside, and myricetin with AChE, a-amylase and a-glycosidase enzymes.(c) 2022 Published by Elsevier B.V. on behalf of SAAB.

Kinkor (Ferulago stellata) is Turkish medicinal plant species and used in folk medicine against some diseases. As far as we know, the data are not available on the biological activities and chemical composition of this medicinal plant. In this study, the phytochemical composition; some metabolic enzyme inhibition; and antidiabetic, anticholinergic, and antioxidant activities of this plant were assessed. In order to evaluate the antioxidant activity of evaporated ethanolic extract (EEFS) and lyophilized water extract (WEFS) of kinkor (Ferulago stellata), some putative antioxidant methods such as DPPHGreek ano teleia scavenging activity, ABTS(center dot+) scavenging activity, ferric ions (Fe3+) reduction method, cupric ions (Cu2+) reducing capacity, and ferrous ions (Fe2+)-binding activities were separately performed. Furthermore, ascorbic acid, BHT, and alpha-tocopherol were used as the standard compounds. Additionally, the main phenolic compounds that are responsible for antioxidant abilities of ethanol and water extracts of kinkor (Ferulago stellata) were determined by liquid chromatography-high-resolution mass spectrometry (LC-HRMS). Ethanol and water extracts of kinkor (Ferulago stellata) demonstrated effective antioxidant abilities when compared to standards. Moreover, ethanol extract of kinkor (Ferulago stellata) demonstrated IC50 values of 1.772 mu g/mL against acetylcholinesterase (AChE), 33.56 +/- 2.96 mu g/mL against alpha-glycosidase, and 0.639 mu g/mL against alpha-amylase enzyme respectively.
Sage (Salvia Macrochlamys): Lc-Hrms for Phytochemical Analysis, Cytotoxicity, Enzyme Inhibition, Antioxidant Activity, Molecular Docking and Molecular Dynamics Simulations
(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2024) Kiziltas, Hatice; Ortaakarsu, Ahmet Bugra; Bingol, Zeynebe; Goren, Ahmet Ceyhan; Pinar, Suleyman Mesut; Gulcin, Ilhami
This study primarily aims to evaluate the phenolic content and biological activity of Salvia macrochlamys both in vitro and in silico. The antioxidant activities of Salvia macrochlamys were assessed using various methods. Additionally, cytotoxic effects and the alpha-amylase, alpha-glucosidase, and acetylcholinesterase (AChE) enzyme inhibitory abilities of ethanolic extract of the aerial parts of Salvia macrochlamys (EESM) were evaluated. Then, the molecular docking interactions and molecular dynamic calculations of EESM against alpha-amylase, alpha-glycosidase, and AChE enzymes were carried out. High antioxidant activity was determined in both ethanol and water extracts. The IC50 values of EESM against AChE (EC 3.1.1.7), alpha-glycosidase (E.C.3.2.1.20), and alpha-amylase (E.C.3.2.1.1) were determined as 1.622 mu g/mL, 0.530 mu g/mL, and 1.320 mu g/mL, respectively. High enzyme-inhibiting properties of EESM were determined in also in silico. Rosmarinic acid was identified as one of the most abundant phenolic compounds in both EESM and water extract of the aerial parts of Salvia macrochlamys (WESM) (3919.65 mg/kg and 10520.77 mg/kg, respectively). Their high level of flavonoids and phenolics, as well as the potent antioxidant and enzyme-inhibitory properties displayed by extracts, may contribute to broadening the use of Salvia macrochlamys in both traditional and modern therapeutic applications.
Sahlep (Dactylorhiza Osmanica): Phytochemical Analyses by Lc-Hrms, Molecular Docking, Antioxidant Activity, and Enzyme Inhibition Profiles
(Mdpi, 2022) Kiziltas, Hatice; Goren, Ahmet Ceyhan; Alwasel, Saleh H.; Gulcin, Ilhami
Studies have shown an inverse correlation among age-related illnesses like coronary heart disease and cancer and intake of fruit and vegetable. Given the probable health benefits of natural antioxidants from plants, research on them has increased. Dactylorhiza osmanica is consumed as a food and traditional medicine plant in some regions of Turkey, so evaluation of the biological ability of this species is important. In this study, the amount of phenolic content (LC-HRMS), antioxidant activities and enzyme inhibitory properties of an endemic plant, D. osmanica, were investigated. The antioxidant capacities of an ethanol extract of D. osmanica aerial parts (EDOA) and roots (EDOR) were evaluated with various antioxidant methods. Additionally, the enzyme inhibitory effects of EDOA and EDOR were examined against acetylcholinesterase (AChE), alpha-glycosidase, and alpha-amylase enzymes, which are associated with common and global Alzheimer's disease and diabetes mellitus. The IC50 values of EDOA against the enzymes were found to be 1.809, 1.098, and 0.726 mg/mL, respectively; and the IC50 values of EDOR against the enzymes were found to be 2.466, 0.442, and 0.415 mg/mL, respectively. Additionally, LC-HRMS analyses revealed p-Coumaric acid as the most plentiful phenolic in both EDOA (541.49 mg/g) and EDOR (559.22 mg/g). Furthermore, the molecular docking interaction of p-coumaric acid, quercitrin, and vanillic acid, which are the most plentiful phenolic compounds in the extracts, with AChE, alpha-glucosidase, and alpha-amylase, were evaluated using AutoDock Vina software. The rich phenolic content and the effective antioxidant ability and enzyme inhibition potentials of EDOA and EDOR may support the plant's widespread food and traditional medicinal uses.
