Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTSeveral exotic plants (non-native) are used in Brazilian traditional medicine and are known worldwide for their possible diuretic actions. Among the wide variety of plants, standing out Achillea millefolium L., Camellia sinensis L. Kuntze, Crocus sativus L., Hibiscus sabdariffa Linn., Petroselinum crispum (Mill.) A.W. Hill, Taraxacum officinale (L.) Weber, and Urtica dioica L., whose effects have already been the subject of some scientific study. In addition, we also discussed other exotic species in Brazil used popularly, but that stil...

Bioprospecting the Metabolome of Plant < em > Urtica dioica < /em > L.: A Fast Dereplication and Annotation Workflow in Plant Metabolomics
This study uses direct crude extracts obtained from various parts of the Urtica dioica plant for the characterization of secondary metabolites. The crude extract of the plant initially displayed promising antioxidant and anti-diabetic activities. Then, we employed mass spectrometry-based dereplication to identify the phytochemical components in the extracts. This led to the discovery of 7 unknown and 17 known secondary metabolites, which were further verified with the SIRIUS 4 platform, a computational tool for the annotation of compounds using tandem MS data. On the other hand, chasing the antioxidant activity of methanol...
