Rosemary is one of the most important medicinal plants for natural therapy due to its multiple pharmacological properties, such as antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, neuroprotective, antiproliferative, antitumor, hepato- and nephroprotective, hypolipidemic, hypocholesterolemic, antihypertensive, anti-ischemic, hypoglycemic, radioprotective, antimicrobial, antiviral, antiallergic, and wound healing properties. Our study reports for the first time, over a 12-month period, the identification and quantification of polyphenols and the investigation of the antioxidant and acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitory activities of the L. species harvested at flowering from the flora of southwestern Romania (Oltenia Region). Identification and quantification of polyphenolic acids was made by ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry (UHPLC/MS). Total phenolic content was determined using the spectrophotometric method. In situ antioxidant and anticholinesterase activities were evaluated using 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and AChE inhibitory assay, respectively, on high-performance thin-layer chromatography (HPTLC) plates. DPPH radical scavenging activity was also assessed spectrophotometrically. The results revealed significant correlations between specific polyphenolic compounds and the measured biological activities, understanding the role of seasonal variations and providing insights into the optimal harvesting times and medicinal benefits of rosemary. Our research brings new information on the phytochemical profile of as a natural source of polyphenols with antioxidant and AChE inhibitory properties.
迷迭香是天然疗法中最重要的药用植物之一,由于其多种药理学特性,如抗氧化、抗炎、神经保护、抗增殖、抗肿瘤、肝和肾保护、降血脂、降胆固醇、降血压、抗缺血、降血糖、辐射防护、抗菌、抗病毒、抗过敏和伤口愈合特性。我们的研究首次在 12 个月的时间内,对罗马尼亚西南部(奥尔特尼亚地区)植物群中开花期收获的迷迭香( L. )物种的多酚的鉴定和定量,以及抗氧化和乙酰胆碱酯酶(AChE)抑制活性进行了研究。通过超高效液相色谱/质谱联用(UHPLC/MS)对多酚酸进行了鉴定和定量。采用分光光度法测定总酚含量。通过在高效薄层色谱(HPTLC)板上使用 2,2-二苯基-1-苦基肼基(DPPH)和 AChE 抑制测定法,分别对原位抗氧化和抗胆碱酯酶活性进行评估。还通过分光光度法评估 DPPH 自由基清除活性。结果表明,特定多酚化合物与所测生物活性之间存在显著相关性,这有助于了解季节性变化的作用,并为迷迭香的最佳收获时间和药用功效提供了深入了解。我们的研究为迷迭香作为具有抗氧化和 AChE 抑制特性的多酚天然来源的植物化学特性提供了新信息。
