Phenolic Compound Analysis and Pharmacological Screening of Functional Parts.

is a medicinal plant of the family, widely used in traditional medicine. This study is aimed at investigating the functional variability of phenolic compounds in different parts (leaves, stems, flowers, roots, and seeds) of methanolic extracts and at assessing their antidiabetic, antioxidant, and antibacterial activities. The results of HPLC-DAD-QTOF-MS indicated the presence of 25 phenolic compounds with a remarkable variability between plant parts; high levels were registered in chlorogenic, vanillic, 3,4-dihydroxybenzoic, and 3-hydroxybenzoic acids; hesperidin; and luteolin. fruits and stems presented higher antioxidant activities. The extracts inhibited the growth of five pathogenic bacteria with MIC values documented between 7.81 and 31.25 mg/mL. antihyperglycemic effect revealed higher effect in flowers (2921.84 g/mL) and seeds (2992.75 g/mL) against -glucosidase and of leaves (2156.80 g/mL) and roots (2357.30 g/mL) against -amylase. The findings of this showed that is a promising source for antidiabetic bioactive compounds. However, further investigations regarding the evaluation of antidiabetic effects of these compounds are needed.
