Flavonoids are new promising potential natural compounds for treating Alzheimer's disease (AD). Actually most promising drugs for symptomatic treatment of AD are acetylcholinesterase inhibitors (AChEI). Flavonoids with AChE inhibitory activity and due to their well known antioxidant activity could be new multipotent drugs for AD treatment. This wor...

To collect, analyze and evaluate the ethnopharmacologic knowledge in Nor-Yauyos in order to protect it. This paper reports the results of an ethnopharmacological survey on the uses of medicinal plants by inhabitants of the Andean region Nor-Yauyos, Peru. In this region one surviving ethnic group, the Jaqaru-Quichuas, has been identified. Field work...

Antioxidant activity, neuroprotective effect and acetylcholinesterase inhibitor activity were studied in acetylated flavones from Galeopsis ladanum L. (Lamiaceae), previously isolated and identified by UV-spectra, UPLC–MS/MS and 1H-NMR spectroscopy. Structure–activity relationships of flavonoids have been determined in many antioxidant assays, gene...

Quail poisoning is known to produce an acute myoglobinuric syndrome called coturnism. The cause of this syndrome is still unknown, although it has been postulated that Galeopsis ladanum L. seeds, in particular lipidic compounds or stachydrine, are responsible for this toxicity. Thus, we aimed to study the implication of this plant in coturnism in o...

A new spectrophotometric assay for the quantification of polyphenolic content has been validated. It is based on Prussian Blue method and adapted to microplate spectrophotometry. Prussian Blue reaction is critically dependent on reaction time, but microplate spectrophotometry permits exact measures of many samples at the same time. This new method...

A reversed-phase column liquid chromatographic method for the separation and quantification of mescaline present in “peyote” has been developed using a Symmetry C18 column and isocratic profile. The method can be utilised for the quantitative determination of other alkaloids. This method is economical in terms of the time taken and the amount of so...
