Phytochemical profiling of leaf extract UHPLC-QTOF-MS/MS with assessment of its antiviral mechanisms.

Among 36 species of the genus (family Palmae or Arecaceae), is considered the only species native to Africa. Previous studies showed the richness of fruits in phenolic compounds. The goal of the current study was to investigate the phytochemical composition and assess the antiviral mechanisms of the leaves' ethanolic extract cultivated in Egypt for the first time.

Metabolite Profiling of Antioxidant Rich Fractions of L. Mesocarp and CD36 Expression Regulation.

Objective: It was aimed at determining which polyphenolic compound(s) in pomegranate mesocarp extract (PME) is liable for the antioxidant, anti-glycation and anti-CD36 activities.

Methods: The PME was fractionated using liquid-liquid extraction method. The fractions were tested for their polyphenolic content, antioxidant potency, anti-glycation activity and anti-CD36 potential.
