Molecules, Vol. 27, Pages 2555: The Potential Use of Herbal Fingerprints by Means of HPLC and TLC for Characterization and Identification of Herbal Extracts and the Distinction of Latvian Native Medicinal Plants
In this study, high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and thin layer chromatography (TLC) methods were developed for obtaining chromatographic fingerprints of four taxonomically and evolutionary different medicinal plants (Hibiscus sabdariffa L., Calendula officinalis L., Matricaria recutita L., Achillea millefolium L.). Retention time shifting, principal component analysis (PCA), hierarchical cluster analysis (HCA), and orthogonal projections to latent structures (OPLS) analysis were used to improve and analyze the obtained fingerprints. HPLC data detection at 270 nm was determined superior to 360 nm for the distin...

Molecules, Vol. 27, Pages 2314: HESI-MS/MS Analysis of Phenolic Compounds from Calendula aegyptiaca Fruits Extracts and Evaluation of Their Antioxidant Activities
hani-Jarraya
Considering medicinal plants as an inexhaustible source of active ingredients that may be easily isolated using simple and inexpensive techniques, phytotherapy is becoming increasingly popular. Various experimental approaches and analytical methods have been used to demonstrate that the genus Calendula (Asteraceae) has a particular richness in active ingredients, especially phenolic compounds, which justifies the growing interest in scientific studies on this genus’ species. From a chemical and biological viewpoint, Calendula aegyptiaca is a little-studied plant. For the first time, high-perf...

The problems of the environment and human health related to the use of synthetic and broad-spectrum insecticides have increasingly motivated scientific research on different alternatives and among these, the use of green systems, such as essential oils, have been explored. Several species of the Apiaceae and Asteraceae families, aromatic herbs rich in secondary bioactive metabolites, are used in the industrial field for pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and food purposes. Different essential oils extracted from some species of these families have shown acute toxicity and attractive and/or repellent effects toward...

A new antiprotozoal compound from < em > Calendula officinalis < /em >
Nat Prod Res. 2022 Jan 10:1-6. doi: 10.1080/14786419.2021.2023868. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTA new phytoconstituent; (6Z,9Z)-heptadeca-6,9-diene-5,11-dione (1) was isolated from Calendula officinalis methanol extract. The structure of 1 was determined based on the analysis of NMR spectra and HRESIMS. It was tested for antimicrobial and antiprotozoal activities. Compound 1 showed leishmanicidal activity against L. donovani amastigote with an IC50 of 16.4394 µM and IC90 of 28.9015 µM and a weak antitrypanosomal activity with an IC50 of 37.6136 µM. The cytotoxicity of 1 was evaluated using standard experimental procedu...

Design, preparation and in vitro characterization of biomimetic and bioactive chitosan/polyethylene oxide based nanofibers as wound dressings
Int J Biol Macromol. 2021 Oct 28:S0141-8130(21)02323-0. doi: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2021.10.166. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTChitosan-based nanofibers (CS-NFs) are excellent artificial extracellular matrices (ECMs) due to the resemblance of CS with the glycosaminoglycans of the natural ECMs. Despite this excellent feature, the poor electrospinnability and mechanical properties of CS are responsible for important limitations in respect to its biomedical applications. To improve the CS's physico-chemical properties, new bioactive and biomimetic CS-NFs were formulated with polyethylene oxide (PEO), having incorporated different...

Molecules, Vol. 26, Pages 5929: Antibacterial Activity of Biosynthesized Selenium Nanoparticles Using Extracts of Calendula officinalis against Potentially Clinical Bacterial Strains
a-Morales
The use of selenium nanoparticles (SeNPs) in the biomedical area has been increasing as an alternative to the growing bacterial resistance to antibiotics. In this research, SeNPs were synthesized by green synthesis using ascorbic acid (AsAc) as a reducing agent and methanolic extract of Calendula officinalis L. flowers as a stabilizer. Characterization of SeNPs was performed by UV-vis spectrophotometry, infrared spectrophotometry (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) techniques. SeNPs of 40–60 nm and spherical morph...
