Polyphenols pattern and correlation with antioxidant activities of berries extracts from four different populations of SicilianSambucus nigraL. (original) (raw)

“…In addition, phenolic acid constituents of S.ambucus FormosanaNakai, including caffeic acid, caffeotannic acid, chlorogenic acid, coumaric acid, ferulic acid, and gallic acid, have been identified as the members of the most important active components with anti-inflammatory, anti-tumor and anti-hepatotoxic activities (Chen et al, 2001;Liao et al, 2006;Yang and Lin, 2004;Zhang et al, 2010). Active components of Sambucus FormosanaNakai are similar to those of other Sambucus species, including Sambucus nigra L. and Sambucus lanceolata, which process antioxidant, antiradical, antiviral, antimicrobial, and anti-inflammatory activities (Barak et al, 2001;Krawitz et al, 2011;Mandrone et al, 2014;Pinto et al, 2017;Pliszka, 2017;Porter and Bode, 2017;Turek and Cisowski, 2007). Especially, the extract of Sambucus nigra L. exerts the antiviral activity against influenza A and B viruses, human immunodeficiency virus, and the herpes simplex virus type 1 (Krawitz et al, 2011;Serkedjieva et al, 1990;Zakay-Rones et al, 1995;Amoros et al, 1992;Mahmood et al, 1993;Roschek et al, 2009).…”
