RESUMEN
The fruit of the Talisia esculenta tree, is largely consumed and appreciated for its bittersweet taste; however, detailed information on its constituent bioactive compounds is still scarce. Therefore, this study aims to screen the antioxidant activity by six methods and determine the chemical profile of the pitomba fruit peel and pulp by electrospray ionization-Fourier transform-mass spectrometry. This is the first study attempting to identify the bioactive compounds in the pitomba fruit peel. Consequently, 19 and 14 compounds were identified in the ethanolic and hexanic peel extracts, while 7 and 10 compounds were detected in the ethanolic and hexanic pulp extracts, respectively. The common compounds across the board were citric acid, ascorbic acid, and shikimic acid. In addition, the ethanolic peel extract exhibited a high 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activity (54.21-81.41%). The obtained results highlight the importance the pitomba fruit as a promising source of natural compounds with high antioxidant activities.

ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE: Polyphenolics (flavonoid and phenolic) rich plants are the effective source for the treatment of acute and chronic degenerative diseases including inflammatory bowel disease. OBJECTIVE: This study was aimed to examine the effects of polyphenolics rich leaf acetone extract of P. subpeltata against the indomethacin induced ulcerative colitis in rats. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Two consecutive days administration of indomethacin produced chronic inflammation in GIT tissues of rats. Further, the plant extract 200 and 400â¯mg/kg treatment were continued until 11th day. Then hematological, enzymatic antioxidants, MPO and histological evaluations were analyzed. Moreover, the extracts were treated with RAW267.4â¯cells for the cytotoxicity, NO and TNF-α analysis. RESULTS: The obtained results revealed, that higher dose of the plant extract dropped neutrophil infiltration followed by inhibiting the MPO enzyme levels and controls the enzymatic antioxidants such as SOD, CAT, GSH and LPO. RAW cells study also proved that the plant extract effectively inhibits NO and TNF-α production. CONCLUSIONS: Thus, these results suggest that P. subpeltata extract may have therapeutic potential for the treatment of IBD although further clinical research is still warranted.

Objetivos. Evaluar y comparar las propiedades antioxidantes mediante ensayos in vitro de extractos acuosos de las algas roja Bryothamnion triquetrum y verde Halimeda opuntia y su relación con el contenido de polifenoles. Material y Métodos. Se utilizaron las técnicas in vitro: DPPH, Capacidad reductora, Inhibición de la peroxidación lipídica e inhibición de la hemólisis inducida por AAPH. Resultados. B. triquetrum: DPPH; CI50=1,15 ± 0,06, capacidad reductora a concentración; 128 mg/mL, DO=2,798, inhibición de la peroxidación lipídica; CI50=5,09± 0,25 e inhibición de la hemólisis con 12 mg/ mL; 35 %. H. opuntia: DPPH; CI50=12,34 ± 0,30 mg/mL, capacidad reductora; DO=0,800, inhibición de la peroxidación lipídica; CI50=1,25± 0,31 mg/mL e inhibición de la hemólisis; 82%. Conclusiones. Los resultados evidencian que B triquetrum resulto mucho más eficiente en los ensayos de DPPH y Capacidad reductora mientras H opuntia resulta más eficiente en Inhibición de la peroxidación lipídica e inhibición de la hemólisis. Se discuten algunos aspectos acerca de sus posibles mecanismos de acción
Objective. To evaluate and compare the antioxidant activity displayed by seaweed H. opuntia and B. triquetrum using different experimental in vitro antioxidant assessment models. Material and Methods. The following techniques are utilized: DPPH, Reducing power, inhibition of lipid peroxidation and inhibition of haemolysis. Results. B. triquetrum: DPPH; IC =1.15 ± 0.06, Reducing power (concentration 128 mg/mL), OD=2.798, inhibition of lipid peroxidation; IC 50 =5.09± 0.25 and inhibition of haemolysis; with 12 mg/mL; 35 %. H. opuntia: DPPH; IC 50 50 =12.34 ± 0.30 mg/mL, reducing power; OD=0.800, inhibition of lipid peroxidation; IC 50 =1.25± 0.31 mg/mL, inhibition of lipid peroxidation; C =1.25± 0.31 mg/mL and inhibition of haemolysis; 82%. 50 Conclusion. It was demonstrated that B.triquetrum extract was more effective than H. opuntia in reducing power and DPPH assays while H.opuntia was more effective in inhibition of lipid peroxidation in rat brain homogenates and the inhibition of red blood cell (RBC) haemolysis induced by AAPH. We discuss some aspects about their possible mechanisms of action
