The tree Eysenhardtia polystachya (Ortega) Sarg. has quite a wide popular use within the traditional Mexican medicine as herbal remedy. Popular practices constitute a relevant enough basis to design optimum analytical methods in order to determine basic principles of diverse medicinal plants. This has become one of the essentials needed to characterize such products, for which it is fundamentally important to develop an efficient and reliable separation method. This work presents the results concerning the development and optimization of a novel CE method for the separation of components from water/etanol (1:1) extracts of E. polystachya, using the following conditions, considered the best obtained: phosphate buffer 10 mM, 20 kV voltage, and pH 8.1 at 214 nm and 50 mM, 12.5 kV voltage with pH 8.1 at 426 nm. The optimization takes into account the parameters associated in the resulting electropherograms, such as number of peaks, migration times, and the Deltat(m) of the neighboring peaks. Under optimal conditions the separation intended was attained within 15 and 20 min for 214 and 426 nm, respectively. The characterization method developed was applied to the analysis of diverse extracts of E. polystachya.

Phenolic compounds, obtained from plants are important in the food, biomaterial and pharmaceutical industries; however current extraction methods, such as Soxhlet (solid-liquid) extraction, liquid-liquid extraction, microwave-assisted extraction, and ultrasonic extraction (USE), have the disadvantages of large processing times, contamination by solvents, and degradation of analytes. This study demonstrates that shock wave-assisted extraction can be used as a more efficient, eco-friendly and rapid method. Extraction of powdered samples of Eysenhardtia polystachia heartwood, a plant with high concentration of phenolic compounds, exposed to different doses of underwater shock waves, was compared with the conventional methods.

Eysenhardtia polystachya (EP) is an endemic Mexican plant that has been widely studied for its antidiabetic, antibacterial, and antioxidant properties. Several studies had reported the main components of EP, but their fluorescence properties had not been broadly studied. In a previous study we obtained extracts with different composition from this plant and they presented florescence.

Previous studies have shown that accumulation of advanced glycation end products (AGEs) can be the cause of diabetic nephropathy (DN) in diabetic patients. Dihydrochalcone 3'--β-d-glucopyranosyl α,4,2',4',6'-pentahydroxy⁻dihydrochalcone () is a powerful antiglycation compound previously isolated from . The aim was to investigate whether () was able to protect against diabetic nephropathy in streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic mice, which displayed renal dysfunction markers such as body weight, creatinine, uric acid, serum urea, total urinary protein, and urea nitrogen in the blood (BUN).
