Metabolomics of Withania somnifera (L.) Dunal: Advances and applications

Sarada D. Tetali et al.

Summary: Withania somnifera, commonly known as Indian ginseng, has been extensively used in Ayurveda for various health benefits. Metabolomic studies have shown that the metabolite profiles of W. somnifera vary depending on plant parts collected, developmental stage, season, and geographical location. The use of sophisticated techniques like LC-MS, GC-MS, HPTLC, and NMR has facilitated the discovery of new metabolites and comprehensive metabolomic profiles.

Comparative analysis of metabolic variations, antioxidant potential and cytotoxic effects in different parts of Chelidonium majus L

Shivraj Hariram Nile et al.

Summary: Metabolic variations, antioxidant potential and cytotoxic effects were investigated in different parts of C. majus L. using spectroscopic and chromatographic methods. The results revealed that the flower extract showed higher antioxidant activity, while the pod and leaf extracts exhibited higher cytotoxic effects in the in vitro SRB assay. These findings suggest promising potential for the development of high value products for phytomedicine applications.

Spiraeoside extracted from red onion skin ameliorates apoptosis and exerts potent antitumor, antioxidant and enzyme inhibitory effects

Arti Nile et al.

Summary: The study analyzed the red onion skin waste (ROSW) for the naturally occurring 4 '-O-glucoside of quercetin, spiraeoside (SPI), which showed promising biological activities. The ethanol extract of ROSW and SPI exhibited significant radical-scavenging, anti-inflammatory, and anti-cancer activities by inhibiting cell growth and promoting apoptosis. Notably, SPI also inhibited the expression of molecules involved in apoptotic signaling, showing novel insights into its potential as an anticancer agent.
