Background: Previously reported data suggest that hibiscetin, isolated from , contains delphinidin-3-sambubioside and cyanidin-3-sambubioside including anthocyanidins and has a broad range of physiological effects. In this study, we aim to analyze the effect of hibiscetin neuroprotective ability in rats against 3-nitropropionic acid (3-NPA)-induced Huntington's disease (HD).
Methods: To investigate possible toxicities in animals, oral acute toxicity studies of hibiscetin were undertaken, and results revealed the safety of hibiscetin in animals with a maximum tolerated dose. Wistar rats were divided into four groups ( = 6); (group-1) treated with normal saline, (group-2) hibiscetin (10 mg/kg) only, (group-3) 3-NPA only, and (group-4) 3-NPA +10 mg/kg hibiscetin. The efficacy of hibiscetin 10 mg/kg was studied with the administration of 3-NPA doses for the induction of experimentally induced HD symptoms in rats. The mean body weight (MBW) was recorded at end of the study on day 22 to evaluate any change in mean body weight. Several biochemical parameters were assessed to support oxidative stress (GSH, SOD, CAT, LPO, GR, and GPx), alteration in neurotransmitters (DOPAC, HVA, 5-HIAA, norepinephrine, serotonin, GABA, and dopamine), alterations in BDNF and cleaved caspase (caspase 3) activity. Additionally, inflammatory markers, i.e., tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α), interleukins beta (IL-1β), and myeloperoxidase (MPO) were evaluated.
Results: The hibiscetin-treated group exhibits a substantial restoration of MBW than the 3-NPA control group. Furthermore, 3-NPA caused a substantial alteration in biochemical, neurotransmitter monoamines, and neuroinflammatory parameters which were restored successfully by hibiscetin.
Conclusion: The current study linked the possible role of hibiscetin by offering neuroprotection in experimental animal models.

Twelve flavonoids (-) including a new flavonol glycoside, hibiscetin 3--glucopyranoside-8--glucuronopyranoside, ten known galloylglucoses (-) and three known phenolic acids (-) were isolated from the aerial parts of growing in Japan. Their chemical structures were elucidated by UV-vis spectra, LC-MS, HR-MS, acid hydrolysis, NMR, and/or HPLC, and TLC comparisons with authentic samples. Antioxidant activity of major 14 compounds was measured by H-ORAC method, and two flavonols, herbacetin 3--glucoside-8--glucuronide, and gossypetin 3--glucuronide-8--glucoside, showed the strongest activity.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the neuroprotective effects of hibiscetin on memory loss caused by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) injections in rats.
- Hibiscetin treatment was found to significantly improve memory deficits, supported by various behavioral tests and biochemical analyses including antioxidant activity and inflammation markers.
- Findings suggest hibiscetin could be a potential therapeutic option for addressing memory issues linked to neuroinflammation in animal models.

Background: Reports have implicated diabetes mellitus (DM) and Alzheimer's disease (AD) as some of the global persistent health challenges with no lasting solutions, despite of significant inputs of modern-day pharmaceutical firms. This study therefore, aimed to appraise the in vitro antioxidant potential, enzymes inhibitory activities, and as well carry out in silico study on bioactive compounds from polyphenolic-rich extract of Hibiscus cannabinus seed (PEHc).
Methods: In vitro antioxidant assays were performed on PEHc using standard methods while the identification of phytoconstituents was carried out with high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC).
