Plant metabolites exhibit wide range of natural activities and in recent years, there has been a growing interest in the development of plant-based cosmetic products. The complex composition of plant extracts and their natural variability makes it difficult to select and produce plant-based natural ingredients with the most effective and constant biological capacity. Grapevine (Vitis vinifera L.) is known for its abundance in bioactive polyphenols, but the quality and the quantity in polyphenols vary depending on several parameters including the variety, the geographical origin, the year, and the extraction methods. In the temperate regions of Central Europe, there is currently significant growth in the cultivation of grape varieties that are well-suited to the humid and cool climate. Interestingly, these fungus-resistant varieties exhibit a specific metabolic composition associated to climatic adaptation, paving the way for the development of new active ingredients for skincare. Metabolomics aims to detect, identify and quantify small molecules in living system in response to environmental changes. In this literature review, we present the advantage of metabolomic approaches to evaluate the cosmetic potential of fungus-resistant varieties cultivated in Central and Eastern Europe.}, keywords = {}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {article} } @article{Domingo2024, title = {1999 – 2024, a Quarter Century of the Parr’s Electrophilicity ω Index}, author = {Luis R.

In the lands affected by petroleum-derived compounds, their massive toxicity towards the plants, however, hinders the efficacy of the phytoremediation process. Hence, adopting a green approach to enhance phytoremediation is highly recommended and desirable. Here, sugarcane bagasse (SCB) was used as a bulking agent enhancing the hyperaccumulation of heavy metals chromium (Cr) and nickel (Ni) by sunflower plants from 0.5%, 2.5%, and 5% oil-contaminated soil. Accumulation of Cr and Ni was observed higher in roots than shoots. The bioconcentration factor (BCF) of Cr and Ni was higher in soil amended with SCB than that without amended. The highest rate of Ni and Cr uptake was also noticed in all treatments amended with the bulking agent except in the case of 0.5% oil-contaminated soil without SCB. Overall, the phytoremediation of oil-contaminated soil is most effective when it is amended with SCB as a bulking agent which provides water and air well to plants, improving plant growth and then increasing phytoaccumulation of heavy metals.}, keywords = {}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {article} } @article{Kosylo2024, title = {Synthesis and prediction of toxicological and pharmacological properties of Schiff bases containing arylfuran and pyrazole moiety}, author = {Natalia Kosylo and Andrii Hotynchan and Olha Skrypska and Yuriy Horak and Mykola Obushak}, doi = {10.58332/scirad2024v3i2a01}, issn = {2956-4808}, year = {2024}, date = {2024-05-01}, journal = {Sci.

It should also be user friendly (for operators of the production unit), as fast as possible, with lower steps leading to a highly pure active pharmaceutical ingredient (API). The pharmaceutical analysis step contains a series of the main analytical tests such as instrumental (HPLC, GC, XRD, and …), as well as physicochemical ones (like solubility, ash, heavy metals, …). These tests determine the quality of an API for being applied in the finish line formulation of a drug.

Using preparative thin-layer chromatography and flash column chromatography techniques, seven phenolic compounds were isolated from the methanolic extracts of several plant parts. Namely decyl gallate, sinapinic acid, alpha-methyl cinnamic acid, acetosyringone, and chlorogenic acid from leaves, 4-ethoxycoumarin from rhizomes, and syringic acid from roots. The structures of these compounds were elucidated using spectroscopic methods such as ‘H and 13C-NMR. The spectra were analyzed and visualized using Mnova software and compared with standard spectra from the Willy spectra database, biological magnetic resonance data bank, and chemical book.
