    Biological and chemical insights of Morina persica L.: A source of bioactive compounds with multifunctional properties
    (ELSEVIER, 2016) Mocan, Andrei; Zengin, Gökhan; Uysal, Ahmet; Güneş, Erdoğan; Mollica, Adriano; Değirmenci, Nurdan Sena; Alpsoy, Lokman
    Morina persica L. has weak rosy smell flowers that together with aerial parts are infused or decocted and used as a functional tea. It is a representative of the Anatolian traditional medicine and is used for the treatment of cold. Biological and chemical fingerprints of different extracts (methanolic, acetone and water) of M. persica were investigated. Antioxidant, enzyme inhibitory, antimicrobial, cytotoxic and mutagenic/antimutagenic effects were evaluated for biological profiling. Rutin, chlorogenic and rosmarinic acids were detected as dominant compounds. Generally, the methanolic and acetone extracts had strong antioxidant, enzyme inhibitory, antimicrobial and antimutagenic effects. Additionally, all extracts showed remarkable inhibitory effects on HeLa cells at 100 mu g/mL. Furthermore, possible interactions between rutin, the dominant phenolic compound in M. persica and the tested enzymes were assessed by molecular docking. Results indicate that M. persica could be considered as a natural source of high-valued functional ingredients for further use in healthful formulations. (C) 2016 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

    Evaluation of Antioxidant, Enzyme Inhibition, and Cytotoxic Activity of Three Anthraquinones (Alizarin, Purpurin, and Quinizarin)
    (SAGE Publications, 2016) Zengin, Gökhan; Değirmenci, Sena; Alpsoy, Lokman; Aktümsek, Abdurrahman
    Objective: The aim of this work was to investigate the cytotoxic, antioxidative, and enzyme inhibition effects of alizarin, quinizarin, and purpurin, which are anthraquinones (AQ). Methods: Cytotoxic effects were evaluated with cell inhibition rate by 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol- 2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide assay. Different chemical assays, including free radical scavenging activity (1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl and 2,2-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazloine-6-sulfonic acid)), phosphomolybdenum and reducing power (ferric reducing antioxidant power and cupric ion reducing activity), were used to evaluate the antioxidant properties. Moreover, enzyme inhibitory activities were analyzed against acetylcholinesterase, butrylcholinesterase, tyrosinase, -amylase, and -glucosidase. Results: These components have antioxidant and enzyme inhibition activity. Especially, purpurin showed the strongest antioxidant and good enzyme inhibitory effects. According to our cytotoxicity results, alizarin, purpurin, and quinizarin induced dose- and time-dependent cell proliferation. Furthermore, when we applied AQs with mitomycin C (MC) on L929 cell line, we demonstrated that cell proliferation in MC-AQ groups compared with MC group was increased. The most effective component was alizarin at 100 mu M concentration. These AQs showed positive effects on L929 cell lines with high half-maximal inhibitory concentration values. Conclusion: Our results demonstrate that AQs may be used as antioxidative compounds in food and medicinal applications.
