    Health Attributes of an Endemic Orchid From Eastern Anatolia, Dactylorhiza Chuhensis Renz&taub. - in Vitro Investigations
    (Elsevier Gmbh, 2015) Dalar, Abdullah; Guo, Yu; Esim, Nevzat; Bengu, Aydin Sukru; Konczak, Izabela
    Phytochemical composition and potential health attributes of Dactylorhiza chuhensis Renz&Taub., an endemic orchid from Eastern Anatolia, were investigated. Lyophilized methanol-based extracts obtained from leaf, flower, stem and tuber were investigated for the presence of phenolic compounds [Folin-Ciocalteu assay and high performance liquid chromatography analysis (HPLC)], antioxidant capacities [ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) and oxygen radical absorbance capacity (ORAC) assay] and enzyme-inhibitory activities [lipase, alpha-amylase, alpha-glucosidase and angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE)]. The tuber, used as a traditional remedy and utilized by the pharmaceutical industry, had the lowest content of total phenolics, inferior antioxidant and enzyme-inhibitory activities. The highest phenolic content (44.9 +/- 0.8 mg GAE/g DW) was exhibited by the leaf extract, which also showed superior reducing (736.8 +/- 16.2 mu mol Fe2+/g DW) and oxygen radical scavenging capacities (2715.8 +/- 83.5 mu mol Trolox E/g DW). The inhibitory activities of the leaf extract toward alpha-amylase, alpha-glucosidase and ACE were moderate. Applied at non-toxic concentrations, the leaf extract effectively reduced accumulation of nitric oxide (NO) in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-activated hepatocellular carcinoma (HepG2) cells. Further studies towards potential utilization of D. chuhensis leaf as a source of physiologically active phytochemcials are justified. Crown Copyright (C) 2015 Published by Elsevier GmbH.
