The First Optimization Process from Cultivation to Flavonoid-Rich Extract from Lam. Leaves in Brazil.

Flavonoids are significant antioxidant and anti-inflammatory agents and have multiple potential health applications. is globally recognized for its nutritional and pharmacological properties, correlated to the high flavonoid content in its leaves. However, the bioactive compounds found in plants may vary according to the cultivation, origin, season, and extraction process used, making it difficult to extract reliable raw material.

Antioxidant Activities of (Mart.) J. B. Gillett) (Burseraceae) Leaf Extracts Using and Assays.

is widely used in folk medicine without any scientific basis. Considering this, the aim of this study was to evaluate the chemical profile and the antioxidant activity of leaf extracts using and assays. Six extracts were obtained from fresh leaves using a serial extraction (nonpolar to polar solvents).

Leaf Extract as a Potential Antioxidant Molecule Using In Vitro and In Vivo Assays.

The genus is widely used in traditional folk medicine, but few scientific data exist for this genus. The goal of this study was to characterise the chemical composition and antioxidant activities of leaf extracts using and assays. Six extracts were obtained: hexane (HE), chloroform (CE), ethanol (EE), methanol (ME), water end extract (WEE), and water extract (WE).

(DC.) O. Berg (Myrtaceae) Leaves as a Source of Antioxidant Compounds.

species are widely studied to identify their chemical composition and evaluate their biological activity. Since evidence supporting the potential antioxidant and antiproliferative activity of is lacking, the aim of this work was to evaluate these activities in six different leaf extracts: hexane (CHE), chloroform (CCE), ethanolic (CEE), methanolic (CME), aqueous final (CFAE), and only aqueous (CAE). The presence of phenolic compounds, tannin, saponin, and ursolic acid was determined by thin layer chromatography (TLC).

is a medicinal plant popularly known as "jenipapo", which occurs in Brazil and belongs to the Rubiaceae family. It is a species widely distributed in the tropical Central and South America, especially in the Cerrado biome. Their leaves and fruits are used as food and popularly in folk medicine to treat anemias, as an antidiarrheal, and anti-syphilitic.
