The interest in natural phenolic compounds has increased because of their attractive use especially as antioxidant and antimicrobial agents foods. large content Santolina chamaecyparissus L. (S. chamaecyparissus) makes this plant a target source that is worthy note. In work, new extraction technologies comprising ultrasound (UAE) microwave (MAE) assisted the S. have been developed, optimized, c...

The aim of this study was to set up and validate an RP-LC method with DAD-detection to quantify caffeic acid derivatives in various Echinacea spp. Samples were extracted with 80% methanol. The analyses were carried out on a Lichrospher RP-18 column (125 mm x 4 mm i.d., 5 microm), with a mobile phase gradient, which increases the acetonitrile level in a phosphoric acid solution (0.1%). The flow ...

Capitols are the edible part of the plant and its leaves are used in the pharmaceutical industry. Artichoke has a special p...

High-dose aqueous extracts from artichoke leaves were found to inhibit cholesterol biosynthesis from 14C-acetate in primary cultured rat hepatocytes in a concentration-dependent biphasic manner with moderate inhibition (approximately 20%) between 0.007 and 0.1 mg/ml and more strong inhibition at 1 mg/ml. Cytotoxic effects detected by lactate dehydrogenase leakage and the 3-[4, 5-dimethylthiazol...
