Land plants are continuously exposed to multiple abiotic stress factors like drought, heat, and salinity. Nitric oxide (NO) and hydrogen sulfide (H2S) are two well-examined signaling molecules that act as priming agents, regulating the response of plants to stressful conditions. Several chemical donors exist that provide plants with NO and H2S separately. NOSH is a remarkable novel donor as it can donate NO and H2S simultaneously to plants, while NOSH-aspirin additionally provides the pharmaceutical molecule acetylsalicylic acid. The current study aimed to investigate the potential synergistic effect of these molecules in drought-stressed Medicago sativa L. plants by following a pharmacological …


Anthocyanin Characterization, Total Phenolic Quantification And Antioxidant Features Of Some Chilean Edible Berry Extracts, Anghel Brito, Carlos Areche, Beatriz Sepúlveda, Edward J. Kennelly, Mario J. Simirgiotis Jul 2014

Anthocyanin Characterization, Total Phenolic Quantification And Antioxidant Features Of Some Chilean Edible Berry Extracts, Anghel Brito, Carlos Areche, Beatriz Sepúlveda, Edward J. Kennelly, Mario J. Simirgiotis

The anthocyanin composition and HPLC fingerprints of six small berries endemic of the VIII region of Chile were investigated using high resolution mass analysis for the first time (HR-ToF-ESI-MS). The antioxidant features of the six endemic species were compared, including a variety of blueberries which is one of the most commercially significant berry crops in Chile. The anthocyanin fingerprints obtained for the fruits were compared and correlated with the antioxidant features measured by the bleaching of the DPPH radical, the ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP), the superoxide anion scavenging activity assay (SA), and total content of phenolics, flavonoids and anthocyanins …

The Passiflora Tripartita (Banana Passion) Fruit: A Source Of Bioactive Flavonoid C-Glycosides Isolated By Hsccc And Characterized By Hplc–Dad–Esi/Ms/Ms, Mario J. Simirgiotis, Guillermo Schmeda-Hirschmann, Jorge Bórquez, Edward J. Kennelly Jan 2013

The Passiflora Tripartita (Banana Passion) Fruit: A Source Of Bioactive Flavonoid C-Glycosides Isolated By Hsccc And Characterized By Hplc–Dad–Esi/Ms/Ms, Mario J. Simirgiotis, Guillermo Schmeda-Hirschmann, Jorge Bórquez, Edward J. Kennelly

The banana passion fruit (Passiflora tripartita Breiter, Passifloraceae) known as “tumbo” is very appreciated in tropical and subtropical countries of South America. Methanolic extracts from peel and the fruit juice of P. tripartita growing in Chile were analyzed for antioxidant capacity as well as for flavonoid and phenolic content. A chromatographic method was developed for the rapid identification of the main phenolics in the samples by HPLC-DAD and HPLC-MS. The fast fingerprint analysis allowed the detection of eighteen flavonoid C-glycosides and four flavonoid O-glycoside derivatives which were characterized by UV spectra and ESI-MS-MS analysis. Several of the C-glycosides detected are …
