Protective and defensive role of anthocyanins under plant abiotic and biotic stresses: An emerging application in sustainable agriculture

Satveer Kaur et al.

Summary: Global warming is the main cause of stresses that negatively impact plant growth and productivity. Various stresses, such as drought, low temperature, pathogen attack, high temperature, and salinity, reduce plant growth and development. However, plants have developed systems, including anthocyanins, to tolerate and resist these stresses, thereby promoting plant growth and development.

Quantitative and qualitative determination of carotenoids and polyphenolics compounds in selected cultivars of Prunus persica L. and their ability to in vitro inhibit lipoxygenase, cholinoesterase, & alpha;-amylase, & alpha;-glucosidase and pancreatic lipase

Paulina Nowicka et al.

Summary: The present study evaluated the polyphenol and carotenoid content in peaches cultivated in Poland, as well as their health-promoting properties. Flavan-3-ols and phenolic acids were dominant in polyphenols, while β-carotene was the dominant carotenoid. Peach fruit exhibited high potential in inhibiting pancreatic lipase, suggesting potential antiobesity effects. However, no evidence was found for the inhibition of α-amylase, α-glucosidase, or 15-LOX by peaches.

The inhibition mechanism of polyphenols from Phyllanthus emblica Linn. fruit on acetylcholinesterase: A interaction, kinetic, spectroscopic, and molecular simulation study

Min Wu et al.

Summary: The present study investigated the inhibition mechanism of polyphenols from Phyllanthus emblica Linn. fruit (PEF) on acetylcholinesterase (AChE). The most active components in PEF, including myricetin, quercetin, fisetin, and gallic acid, showed strong inhibition ability on AChE. Kinetic studies revealed different inhibition modes for different polyphenols. The active PEF polyphenols inhibited AChE by quenching its intrinsic fluorescence and inducing changes in its secondary structure.
