Abstract

Celtis occidentalis L. (common Hackberry, Cannabaceae) has been applied in the traditional medicine for a long time as a remedy for sore throat, aid during menstruation and for treating jaundice. Nevertheless, the phytochemical exploration of the plant is still incomplete, literature data is limited to flavonoid derivatives isolated from the leaves. The present study reports screening approaches for bioactive compounds in C. occidentalis by fast and simple UHPLC-coupled assays. The UHPLC-DPPH method revealed six constituents in the methanolic extract of the twigs that had not been reported in C. occidentalis before. The antioxidant compounds were isolated by the means of flash chromatography and semi-preparative HPLC and identified by Orbitrap® MS and NMR spectroscopy as N-trans-p-coumaroyloctopamine (1), N-trans-feruloyloctopamine (2), N-trans-caffeoyltyramine (3), 2-trans-3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-N-[2-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-2-oxoethyl] prop-2-enamide (4), N-trans-p-coumaroyltryramine (5) and N-trans-feruloyltyramine (6). Despite the high antioxidant activity measured in the present study and literature data suggesting potential positive effects of the compounds in the central nervous system, the PAMPA-BBB assay performed with the Celtis extract revealed that none of the aforementioned compounds are able to penetrate across the blood-brain barrier via transcellular passive diffusion.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
