Seasonal and Circadian Variation of Non-Volatile Metabolites in Lippia alba Leaves.

The present study describes the seasonal and circadian variations of the major compounds from Lippia alba leaves. SPSS was used to identify, quantify, and associate the variations in the secondary metabolites of this species through HPLC/DAD analysis of the leaves hydroethanolic extracts of six selected L. alba specimens.

New dimer and trimer of chalcone derivatives from anti-inflammatory and antinociceptive extracts of Schinopsis brasiliensis roots.

Ethnopharmacology Relevance: Schinopsis brasiliensis Engl. is an endemic tree of the Brazilian semi-arid regions belonging to the Anacardiaceae family. It is the main representative of the genus Schinopsis, mostly native to Brazil and popularly known as "braúna" or "baraúna".

Evaluation of anti-inflammatory, antinociceptive and biological activities of standardized extracts and determination and quantification of the main metabolites.

The stem barks and leaves of are used in Brazilian folk medicines in the treatment of stomach and intestinal diseases. However, there are no reports of chromatographic methods used to evaluate the bioactives of its standardized extracts and for biological evaluation. An analytical method was developed and validated for simultaneous determination and quantification of the bioactive phenolics gallic acid, methyl gallate, ellagic acid and, the biflavonoids agathisflavone and amentoflavone in the leaves and stem bark of .
