Abstract
Medicinal plants produce a high diversity of secondary metabolites with different biological activities, which are commonly evaluated when prospecting for bioherbicides. We analyzed the phytotoxic activity of organic extracts from the leaves of five medicinal species, Byrsonima intermedia, Moquiniastrum polymorphum, Luehea candicans, Miconia chamissois, and Qualea cordata. Phytotoxicity was evaluated on the initial growth of cucumber seedlings through tests with different concentrations of hexane, ethyl acetate, and methanol extracts. The results showed that all organic extracts and all concentrations affected cucumber development, with methanol extracts generally showing the greatest negative effect on the initial growth of the target species. The only exception was for M. chamissois extracts, in which the hexane extract had the greatest phytotoxicity. Furthermore, the organic extracts were subjected to preliminary phytochemical analysis, revealing the widespread presence of alkaloids along with other chemical classes. All the study species are thus potential candidates for use as natural herbicides.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to establish a rapid, reliable, and sensitive ultra-performance liquid chromatography with triple-quadrupole tandem mass spectrometry coupled with chemometric method to measure and evaluate the differences between thirteen compounds in raw and processed Tussilago farfara L. from different sources. This assay method was validated, and the results indicated that the calibration curves for the thirteen compounds had good linearity (R² > 0.9990). The limits of detection and limits of quantification of the thirteen compounds ranged from 0.0012 to 0.0095 μg/mL and from 0.0038 to 0.0316 μg/mL, respectively. The relative standard deviations (RSD) of the intra- and inter-day precisions and stability ranged from 1.06 to 2.00%, 0.26 to 1.99%, and 0.75 to 1.97%, respectively. The sample recovery rates of the thirteen compounds with different concentrations were 94.47⁻104.06%. The chemometric results, including principal component analysis, hierarchical clustering analysis, three-dimensional analysis, and box plot analysis, indicated that there are significance differences in raw and processed Tussilago farfara L. The results of this study confirm that the proposed method is the first reported method that has been successfully applied for simultaneous determination and discovery of the difference between thirteen compounds of raw and processed Tussilago farfara L. Thus, this method could be a helpful tool for the detection and confirmation of the quality of traditional Chinese medicines and provide a basis for future pharmacological studies.

Abstract
Nineteen ent-kaurane diterpenes were isolated and identified from the barks of Gochnatia decora (Kurz) A. L. Cabrera (Compositae), which has been used as an ethnic medicine for treating cough, asthma and wounds in southwestern China. Among them, six compounds are previously undescribed ent-kaurenoic acids, and a known compound, 7β,15β-dihydroxy-ent-kaur-16-en-19-oic acid, was obtained for the first time from nature. Based on its traditional effects in Chinese folk, the potential anti-inflammatory activities of its methanol extracts (ME) and isolated diterpenes were evaluated by the tests of the xylene-induced ear swelling in mice, lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced nitric oxide (NO) production in mouse macrophage cellular RAW 264.7 and inhibition assay of neutrophil elastase, respectively, resulting that ME performed obvious effect against mouse ear swelling with a dose-dependent inhibition in vivo, and nine compounds showed significant inhibition of NO production in vitro, with IC50 values ranging from 0.042 to 8.22 μM, while they also exhibited inhibition of neutrophil elastase at 100 μM in vitro, speculating that those diterpenes may be the active substances correlated with their traditional efficacy.

Abstract
Coffee is one of the most popular hot drinks in the world; it may be prepared by several methods, but the most common forms are boiled (brew) and pressurized (espresso). Analytical studies on the substances responsible for the pleasant aroma of roasted coffee have been carried out for more than 100 years. Brew coffee and espresso coffee (EC) have a different and peculiar aroma profile, demonstrating the importance of the brewing process on the final product sensorial quality. Concerning bioactive compounds, the extraction mechanism plays a crucial role. The differences in the composition of coffee brew in chlorogenic acids and caffeine content is the result of the different procedures of coffee preparation. The aim of the present review is to detail how the brewing process affects coffee aroma and composition.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Geranium bellum Rose, locally known as "Pata de león", is a perennial plant distributed in the mountains of Hidalgo, Mexico. It is widely used in Mexican traditional medicine to treat fever, pain, and gastrointestinal disorders. To date, there are not published studies regarding the in vivo antinociceptive and anti-inflammatory potential of the acetone-aqueous extract from the aerial parts of G. bellum. METHODS Antinociceptive effects of the acetone-aqueous G. bellum (AGB) extract and the isolated compounds were assessed using experimental pain models, including thermal nociception like hot plate test, and chemical nociception induced by intraperitoneal acetic acid or subplantar formalin injection in vivo. The anti-inflammatory properties of the extract were studied using systemic administration in carrageenan-induced paw edema. RESULTS Intra-gastric administration of AGB (75, 150, and 300 mg/kg) showed a dose-dependent antinociceptive effect in intraperitoneal acetic acid (writhing), thermal nociception in CD1 mice, and subplantar formalin models, as well as anti-inflammatory effect in carrageenan- induced paw edema in Wistar rats. Geraniin and quercetin showed the highest antinociceptive activity in writhing test, whereas ellagic acid was the most active compound in the hot plate model. CONCLUSION These studies provide evidences that G. bellum shows antinociceptive and anti- inflammatory effects, and gives support to its use in treating pain in Mexican traditional medicine.

Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE Gochnatia polymorpha ssp. floccosa is used in folk medicine to treat inflammation and infections. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are the most commonly consumed medications during pregnancy in women with inflammatory diseases. However, the relationship between the use of NSAIDs and the risk of miscarriage and birth defects and/or benefits is not fully understood. Thus, an investigation regarding the use of Gochnatia polymorpha during gestation is of relevance for developing safe anti-inflammatory drugs for use during pregnancy. MATERIALS AND METHODS The pregnant females were randomly divided into 5 groups. Control group received a hydroalcoholic solution (1.2%), via gavage, for at least 15 days prior to mating and throughout the gestational period. The pre-treatment group received Gochnatia polymorpha ethanol extract (GPEE), via gavage, at a dose of 100mg/kg body weight (b.w.) for at least 15 days prior to mating and up to the appearance of the vaginal plug. The organogenesis group received GPEE at a dose of 100mg/kg (b.w.), via gavage, on the 5-15th gestacional day. The pregnancy group received GPEE at a dose of 100mg/kg (b.w.), via gavage, throughout the gestational period (from the 1st to the 18th day of pregnancy). The pre+pregnancy group received GPEE at a dose of 100mg/kg (b.w.), via gavage, for at least 15 days prior to mating and throughout the entire gestational period. The clinical signals of maternal toxicity and teratogenesis were evaluated. Additional assays to evaluate chronic inflammation, antigenotoxicity and immunomodolatory activity were performed. RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS The results indicated that GPEE does not interfere with reproductive performance or embryo-fetal development but does correlate with reduced weight and fetal length. The extract was not teratogenic or mutagenic or an immunomodulator. However, GPEE did exhibit effective anti-inflammatory activity. Based on this study, it can be inferred that GPEE is an important, safe anti-inflammatory agent for use during pregnancy according to the experimental design we utilized, which opens up possibilities for the bioprospecting of a new anti-inflammatory phytotherapy for use during pregnancy.

Abstract
Inflammation is a complex event linked to tissue damage whether by bacteria, physical trauma, chemical, heat or any other phenomenon. This physiological response is coordinated largely by a variety of chemical mediators that are released from the epithelium, the immunocytes and nerves of the lamina propria. However, if the factor that triggers the inflammation persists, the inflammation can become relentless, leading to an intensification of the lesion. The present work is a literature survey of plant extracts from the South American continent that have been reported to show anti-inflammatory activity. This review refers to 63 bacterial families of which the following stood out: Asteraceae, Fabaceae, Euphorbiaceae, Apocynaceae and Celastraceae, with their countries, parts used, types of extract used, model bioassays, organisms tested and their activity.

Abstract
AIM OF THIS STUDY Gochnatia polymorpha ssp. floccosa (Asteraceae), popularly known as "cambará", is well recognized in Brazilian traditional medicine to treat the respiratory tract inflammatory diseases and rheumatism. However, no scientific data have been published to support this ethnopharmacological use. This work aimed to evaluate the anti-inflammatory action of its ethanol (EEGP) extract, ethyl acetate (EA), dichloromethane (DCM), petroleum ether (PE) butanolic (BT) fractions, and the isolated compounds bauerenyl acetate (GPC1) and 11,13-dihydrozaluzanin C (GPC2). MATERIALS AND METHODS The anti-inflammatory activities were evaluated in mice subjected to paw oedema and carrageenan-induced air pouch inflammation models. RESULTS The oral administration of EEGP (30, 100 and 300 mg/kg), DCM (50 mg/kg), BT (20 mg/kg) and GPC2 (10 and 30 mg/kg), but not EP and EA fractions (both at 30 mg/kg) and GPC1 (1 and 10 mg/kg), significantly inhibited the paw oedema induced by carrageenan (41±13, 39±5 and 60±10% for EEGP at the three doses, respectively; 44,47±12.8 and 70.19±11.52% for DCM and BT, respectively; and 29.52±4.8 and 31.67±5.4%, for 11,13-dihydrozaluzanin C at 10 and 30mg/kg, respectively) compared to control group. The oral administration of EEGP (30, 100 and 300 mg/kg) inhibited the carrageenan-induced leukocyte migration in the air pouch model (37.2±12.5, 62.6±5.0 and 54.3±6.8%, respectively), as well as protein extravasation (47.9±12.5, 51.7±15.2 and 60.9±13.7%, respectively) compared to control group. In a similar way, DCM (50 mg/kg) or GPC2 (10 mg/kg), but not BT (20 mg/kg) given by oral route inhibited leukocyte infiltration into the pouch (29.5±10.6 and 54.4±21.8%, respectively). Also DCM and GPC2 significantly reduced the protein levels in the supernatants (52.4±15.0 and 51.83±16.9%, respectively). CONCLUSION The results suggest that EEGP, and BT and DCM fractions from G. polymorpha possess anti-inflammatory activity and probably the compound 11,13-dihydrozaluzanin C was responsible, at least in part, for this action.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Blueberries (genus Vaccinium) have gained worldwide focus because of the high anthocyanin content of their fruits. In contrast, the leaves of blueberry have not attracted any attention, even though they contain large quantities of chlorogenic acid, a strong antioxidant compound. OBJECTIVE The aim of this investigation was the quantification and preparative isolation of chlorogenic acid (5-caffeoylquinic acid, 5-CQA) from blueberry leaves using a new separation scheme, centrifugal partition chromatography (CPC). METHODOLOGY A water fraction containing a high concentration of 5-CQA (14.5% of dry weight extract) was obtained by defatting a crude methanol extract from blueberry leaves. CPC was applied to isolate 5-CQA from this water fraction using a two-phase solvent system of ethyl acetate-ethanol-water at a volume ratio 4:1:5 (v/v/v). The flow-rate of mobile phase was 2 mL/min with the ascending mode while rotating at 1200 rpm. The eluate was monitored at 330 nm. The structure of chlorogenic acid in the CPC fraction was confirmed with HPLC, UV, ESI/MS and NMR spectra. RESULTS The HPLC chromatogram showed that the fractions collected by CPC contained chlorogenic acid with 96% purity based on peak area percentage. The total amount of chlorogenic acid isolated from 0.5 g of a water fraction was 52.9 mg, corresponding to 10.6% of the water fraction. The isolated compound was identified successively as 5-CQA with MS (parent ion at m/z 355.1 [M + H](+)) and (1)H NMR spectra [caffeoyl moiety in the down field (δ 6.0-8.0 ppm) and quinic acid moiety in the up field (δ 2.0-5.5 ppm)]. CONCLUSION 5-CQA was successfully isolated from blueberry leaves by the CPC method in a one-step procedure, indicating a further potential use for blueberry leaves.

Abstract
AIM OF THE STUDY 50% ethanol extract (ASE) of Amaranthus spinosus (whole plant) has been evaluated for antinociceptive and antiinflammatory activities. MATERIALS AND METHODS Analgesic and antiinflammatory activities were studied by measuring nociception by formalin, acetic acid, hot plate, tail immersion method while inflammation was induced by carrageenan. RESULTS ASE had significant dose dependent percentage protection against acetic acid (0.6% of 10 ml) induced pain and the effects were also compared to aspirin, morphine and naloxone while formalin induced pain (0.05 ml of 2.5%) was significantly blocked only at higher dose (400mg/kg) in first phase. ASE significantly blocked pain emanating from inflammation at all the doses in second phase. The reaction time in hot plate was increased significantly and dose dependently where as pretreatment with naloxone rigorously reduced the analgesic potentials of ASE. Further in tail immersion test the same dose dependent and significant activity was observed. Aspirin had no effect on thermal induced pain i.e. hot plate and tail immersion tests but showed an effect on writhing test. CONCLUSIONS Our investigation show that Amaranthus spinosus possess significant and dose dependant antiinflammatory activity, it has also central and peripheral analgesic activity.

Abstract
Chlorogenic acid, one of the most bioactive compounds rich in the Chinese medicinal herb honeysuckle, is a natural antioxidant and serves as anti-inflammatory, anti-tumor, anti-mutagenic and anti-carcinogenic agent. An efficient preparative separation process of chlorogenic acid from honeysuckle crude extracts has been developed in the present study. HPD-850 resin offers the best adsorption capacity, and adsorption and desorption ratios for chlorogenic acid among the nine macroporous resins tested, and its adsorption rate at 25 degrees C fit best to the Langmuir isotherm. The adsorption capacity of HPD-850 resin was found to depend strongly on the pH value of the initial adsorption solution. The dynamic adsorption and desorption experiments have been carried out on a HPD-850 resin packed column to optimize the separation process of chlorogenic acid from honeysuckle crude extracts. After one run treatment with HPD-850 resin, the chlorogenic acid content in the final product was increased 4.46-fold from 11.2% to 50.0%, with a recovery yield of 87.9%. The preparative separation of chlorogenic acid can be easily and efficiently achieved via adsorption and desorption on HPD-850 resin, and the method developed will provide a potential approach for large-scale separation and purification of chlorogenic acid for its wide pharmaceutical use.

Abstract
A high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method was developed for the simultaneous quantification of five major active ingredients (markers) in Ixeris sonchifolia (Bge.) Hance, namely chlorogenic acid, caffeic acid, luteolin-7-O-beta-D-glucuronide, luteolin-7-O-beta-D-glucoside and luteolin. Samples were extracted with 70% methanol. The chromatographic separation was performed on a Hypersil ODS(2) column (250 mm x 4.6 mm i.d.; 5 microm) with a gradient of acetonitrile and 0.5% (v/v) aqueous acetic acid, at a flow rate of 1.0 ml/min, detected at 335 nm. Five regression equations showed good linear relationships (r(2)>0.999) between the peak area of each marker and concentration. The assay was reproducible with overall intra- and inter-day variation of less than 3.2%. The recoveries, measured at three concentration levels, varied from 94.1% to 100.7%. This assay was successfully applied to the determination of the 5 bioactive compounds in 18 samples. The results indicated that the developed assay method was rapid, accurate, reliable and could be readily utilized as a quality control method for I. sonchifolia (Bge.) Hance.

Abstract
In Ethiopia inflammatory skin diseases are among the most common health problems treated with traditional remedies which mainly comprise medicinal plants. In the present work, the anti-inflammatory and anti-nociceptive activities of Cheilanthes farinosa (Forsk.) Kaulf (Adianthaceae), a fern used in many parts of Ethiopia to treat inflammatory skin disorders, were studied using in vivo models of inflammation and pain. The results of the study showed that the fronds Cheilanthes farinosa possess strong anti-inflammatory and anti-nociceptive properties. It was further demonstrated that the active ingredients of the fern reside mainly in the methanol fraction from which three compounds viz. the flavonol glycoside rutin, and the natural cinnamic acids, caffeic acid and its quinic acid derivative chlorogenic acid have been isolated. The methanol extract was also shown to potentiate the anti-inflammatory activity of acetyl salicylic acid. At the tested concentrations, the methanol extract displayed a better anti-nociceptive activity than that of ASA in both the early and late phases of formalin induced nociception in mice. However, the activity of the extract was more pronounced in the late phase, which is commonly associated with inflammatory pain. Evaluation of the pharmacological properties of the compounds isolated from the active fractions pointed out that chlorogenic acid possesses strong anti-inflammatory and anti-nociceptive activities while caffeic acid and rutin were inactive. Moreover, on molar basis chlorogenic acid was proved to be superior in its anti-inflammatory action to acetyl salicylic acid. It was therefore concluded that chlorogenic acid contributes, in full or in part, to the anti-inflammatory and anti-nociceptive activities of Cheilanthes farinosa. Both the methanolic extract and pure chlorogenic acid failed to display anti-nociceptive activity when tested by the tail-flick test indicating that the plant is not a centrally acting analgesic but instead exerts its analgesic activity by way of its antinflammtory action.

Abstract
N-Methylprolines were detected in all fourteen species of Rhamnaceae tested, representing eleven genera and it is probable that these compounds are a chemotaxonomic feature of the family. Various species in different genera of other families previously reported to contain N-methylprolines were examined for their presence, but these were found as constituents of only a limited number of the tested species, although they were a feature of particular genera, for example Annona, Berberis, Phoradendron, Laurus and Trichilia. In most of the species found to contain N-methylprolines, their content was high, the yield from the majority of species being in excess of 0.5 % of the dry weight. In the limited number of N-methylproline-containing species in which both the aerial parts and roots of the same plant were tested separately, these compounds were detected in both, with the yields from the aerial parts being higher than those from the roots. The level of hydroxylation of the compounds in the aerial parts was higher than that in the roots.

Abstract
Several species of Nepeta genus are utilized in folk medicine for treatment of contusions, rheumatic pains, fever, cutaneous eruptions. Some species are employed for their anti-inflammatory properties. In this paper, we report the results of phytochemical studies on aerial parts of Nepeta sibthorpii Bentham (Lamiaceae), an endemic plant of Greece. The bioassay-guided fractionation of methanol extract led to the isolation of ursolic acid and polyphenol fraction. By HPLC, we determined some phenolics: chlorogenic acid (0.315 mg/g) and the flavonoids rutin (0.091 mg/g), luteolin-7-O-glucoside (0.387 mg/g) and a luteolin derivative. We assayed the radical scavenging activity of Nepeta sibthorpii methanol extract by the 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) method. Moreover, we studied the anti-inflammatory activity of Nepeta sibthorpii methanol extract (50 mg/kg, os), ursolic acid and polyphenol fraction (dose corresponding to 50 mg/kg of methanol extract, os) in the carrageenan-induced paw oedema in rat. In this experimental model, we observed a significant inhibition of paw oedema. We suppose that the anti-inflammatory effect of methanol extract could be related to the free radical scavenging activity and that it depends on a synergic action of all the components of the methanol extract, even if ursolic acid can be considered the main responsible for this activity.

Abstract
Caffeic acid and quercetin, the well-known phenolic compounds widely present in the plant kingdom, were investigated for their possible protective effects against paracetamol and CCl4-induced hepatic damage. Paracetamol at the oral dose of 1 g/kg produced 100% mortality in mice while pretreatment of separate groups of animals with caffeic acid (6 mg/kg) and quercetin (10 mg/kg) reduced the death rate to 20% and 30%, respectively. Oral administration of sub-lethal dose of paracetamol (640 mg/kg) produced liver damage in rats as manifested by the significant (P<0.01) rise in serum levels of aminotransferases (aspartate transaminase (AST) and alanine transaminase (ALT)) compared to respective control values. The serum enzyme values were significantly (P<0.01) lowered on pretreatment of rats with either caffeic acid (6 mg/kg) or quercetin (10 mg/kg). Similarly, the hepatotoxic dose of CCl4 (1.5 ml/kg; orally) also raised significantly (P<0.05) the serum AST and ALT levels as compared to control values. The same dose of the caffeic acid and quercetin was able to prevent CCl4-induced rise in serum enzymes. Caffeic acid and quercetin also prevented the CCl4-induced prolongation in pentobarbital sleeping time confirming their hepatoprotectivity. These results indicate that caffeic acid and quercetin exhibited hepatoprotective activity possibly through multiple mechanisms.

Abstract
Chlorogenic acid, an ester formed between caffeic acid and quinic acid, is a major phenolic compound in the traditional Chinese medicinal herb Flos Lonicerae. The separation and purification of chlorogenic acid from the crude extract of Flos Lonicerae was achieved by high-speed counter-current chromatography (HSCCC). A high acid, highly polar two-phase solvent system containing n-butanol-acetic acid-water (4:1:5) was run on a preparative scale. The upper phase was used as the mobile phase in the head to tail elution mode. A 300-mg quantity of the crude extract containing 5.97% chlorogenic acid was loaded on a 342-ml HSCCC column. Double separations were performed with the same solvent system yielding 16.9 mg chlorogenic acid at 94.8% purity with approximately 90% recovery.

Abstract
The roots/rhizomes of Cimicifuga racemosa L. (Nutt.) (black cohosh) have traditionally been used to treat menopausal symptoms through an unknown mechanism of action. In an effort to determine if black cohosh had additional health benefits, methanol extracts were investigated for their potential to scavenge reactive oxygen species and to protect against menadione-induced DNA damage. These extracts effectively scavenged 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) free radicals. In addition, the extracts showed dose-dependent decreases in DNA single-strand breaks and oxidized bases induced by the quinone menadione using the comet (single-cell gel electrophoresis assay) and fragment length associated repair enzyme assays, respectively. Bioassay-directed fractionation of the methanolic extracts using the DPPH assay as a monitor led to the isolation of nine antioxidant active compounds: caffeic acid (1), methyl caffeate (2), ferulic acid (3), isoferulic acid (4), fukinolic acid (5), cimicifugic acid A (6), cimicifugic acid B (7), cimicifugic acid F (8), cimiracemate A (9), and cimiracemate B (10). Six of these antioxidants were found to reduce menadione-induced DNA damage in cultured S30 breast cancer cells with the following order of potency: methyl caffeate (2) > caffeic acid (1) > ferulic acid (3) > cimiracemate A (9) > cimiracemate B (10) > fukinolic acid (5). These data suggest that black cohosh can protect against cellular DNA damage caused by reactive oxygen species by acting as antioxidants.
