Neuroprotective Profile of Edible Flowers of Borage (Borago officinalis L.) in Two Different Models: Caenorhabditis elegans and Neuro-2a Cells.

A study aimed to evaluate the benefits of fresh borage flower extract, commonly used in culinary, on antioxidant, neuroprotective, and anti-aging properties. The extract was obtained using ethanol as a solvent and had high amounts of polyunsaturated fatty acids. In vitro assays showed promising antioxidant activity. The extract was also subjected to oxidative stress, resulting in better responses to mitochondrial activity, redox state, and antioxidant enzymes. The study concluded that the extract has potential antioxidant properties without causing toxicity, supporting its benefits in living organisms.

Bioactive Components from Ampelopsis japonica with Antioxidant, Anti-α-Glucosidase, and Antiacetylcholinesterase Activities.

Researchers studied the antioxidant activity of different solvent extracts from the dried root of Pueraria lobata to determine their potential as natural medicine. They found that the acetone extract had strong antioxidant properties and inhibited α-glucosidase and acetylcholinesterase (AChE). Through HPLC analysis, the researchers isolated seven active compounds, including catechin and quercetin, which showed stronger antioxidant capacity than butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT). The isolated compounds also had good inhibitory effects on AChE. This study suggests that Pueraria lobata and its active extracts and components may be a promising source of natural antioxidants and inhibitors of α-glucosidase and AChE.
