ABSTRACT
"Guava" (Acca sellowiana) is an unconventional edible plant from Brazil. It is used in traditional medicine as an anti-diabetic; however, pharmacological studies on this plant are scarce. This study aimed to evaluate the chemical and safety profile of an aqueous A. sellowiana peel extract (ASPE) and its effects on endothelial EA.hy926 cells under glucose overload and in vivo (Artemia salina). An ethanolic extract from A. sellowiana peels (ASPEetOH) was also produced and characterized. Results showed that ASPE did not present in vivo toxicity, and it was found to contain high phenolic content and redox capacity. ASPE (50 µg/mL; 24 h) prevented oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction, besides positively modulating Sirtuins 1 and 3, and prevented the increase of COX-2 and NF-kß expression levels in EA.hy926 cells under glucose overload. Chromatographic fractionation, metabolite profiling, spectroscopic and bioinformatics analyses revealed the presence of phenolic acids, flavan-3-ols, flavonols, flavones, flavanones, and anthocyanidins, displaying a diversity of compounds in the crude and fractionated ASPEetOH. This study provided evidence on the safety profile, chemical composition, and pharmacological activities of A. sellowiana.
