Two morphotypes versus two chemotypes of Psidium cattleyanum: Chemical and pharmacological comparison and a rational approach for marker selection.

Psidium cattleyanum has two morphotypes: one with yellow fruits and other with red fruits. The leaves are popularly used as anti-inflammatory. However, no distinction is made between the types.

Sida tuberculata: In vitro cytotoxicity and in vivo anti-inflammatory effect.

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: Sida tuberculata R. E. Fries (Malvaceae) is a pioneer species considered a weed in farm fields in Southern Brazil.

Polyphenolic Composition and in Vitro Antihypertensive and Anti-Inflammatory Effects of Cuphea lindmaniana and Cuphea urbaniana.

The present study investigates the chemical composition, anti-inflammatory, and antihypertensive activities, in vitro, from extracts of Cuphea lindmaniana and Cuphea urbaniana leaves. The extraction was performed ultrasound-assisted, and UHPLC/MS analysis was in positive mode ionization. The anti-inflammatory activity of the extracts and miquelianin were assayed at concentrations 0.

An ultrasound assisted extraction-solid-phase extraction-ultra-performance liquid chromatography combined strategy for atropine determination in Atropa belladonna leaves.

Atropine is an antimuscarinic alkaloid identified in Atropa belladonna. In pharmacopeias, percolation is standardized as an extraction method for A. belladonna leaves, along with liquid-liquid extraction as a cleanup procedure and titration as an analytical method for assaying the atropine in the leaves.

genus (Lythraceae) popularly known in Brazil as "", it's described as antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, diuretic and antihypertensive mainly. Investigating the chemotactic ability plays an important role in the identification of new anti-inflammatory agents. Thus, this research aims to assay the antichemotactic activity of hydroethanolic extracts of , , , and as well as the compounds miquelianin and myricitrin.

Ultrasound-assisted extraction optimization and validation of ultra-performance liquid chromatographic method for the quantification of miquelianin in Cuphea glutinosa leaves.

Cuphea glutinosa is a medicinal species abundant in South of Brazil, known because of its flavonoids, which have pharmacological properties as antioxidant, anti-hypertensive, diuretic, and antimicrobial. The present study aimed to optimize the extraction and validate an ultra-performance liquid chromatographic method coupled to a photodiode array detector (UPLC-PDA) method for the quantification of a chemical marker miquelianin in C. glutinosa leaves.

Polyphenols composition from leaves of Cuphea spp. and inhibitor potential, in vitro, of angiotensin I-converting enzyme (ACE).

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: Cuphea is the largest genus of the Lythraceae family. It is popularly known as "sete-sangrias" in Brazil used in folk medicine as a diuretic, antipyretic, anti-inflammatory, laxative and antihypertensive agent. The raw material of Cuphea has shown promising results in the production of fitotherapics, which are chemically characterized by quercetin core flavonoids.

Box-Behnken Design for Extraction Optimization Followed by High Performance Countercurrent Chromatography: Production of a Flavonoid-enriched Fraction from Achyrocline Satureioides.

The biological properties of have been mostly ascribed to its major flavonoids quercetin (QCT), luteolin (LUT), and 3--methylquercetin (3MQ). The present study aimed to optimize the extraction by dynamic maceration of the major phenolic compounds in order to obtain in a subsequent step a flavonoid-enriched fraction (FEF) using high performance countercurrent chromatography (HPCCC). A 3-level Box-Behnken design (BBD) was applied to maximize the extraction of the substances, using the plant : solvent ratio ( ), extraction time ( ), and ethanol concentration ( ) as factors.

Extraction optimization and UHPLC method development for determination of the 20-hydroxyecdysone in Sida tuberculata leaves.

Sida tuberculata (ST) is a Malvaceae species widely distributed in Southern Brazil. In traditional medicine, ST has been employed as hypoglycemic, hypocholesterolemic, anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial. Additionally, this species is chemically characterized by flavonoids, alkaloids and phytoecdysteroids mainly.
