Chemical composition, antimicrobial and antioxidant activities data of three plants from Tunisia region: Erodium glaucophyllum, Erodium hirtum and Erodium guttatum.

ABSTRACT: In the present work, phytochemical contents (total phenolic content, total flavonoids, and condensed tannins), antioxidant potentials, and antimicrobial activities of three plants in the Mediterranean genus Erodium (Erodium glaucophyllum, Erodium hirtum, and Erodium guttatum) from the Tunisia region were analyzed. The results showed that E. glaucophyllum contained high levels of polyphenols, flavonoids, and tannins. Therefore, E. glaucophyllum possesses high antioxidant activities (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl and ferric reducing antioxidant power scavenging activities), and high inhibition of linoleic acid oxidation. All three plants exhibited high antimicrobial activities. This study highlights tree plants' importance as dietary sources for natural antioxidants can be used in traditional medicine and the pharmaceutical industry.

Project description:Among the species belonging to the Aspergillus section Versicolores, Aspergillus creber has been poorly studied and still unexplored for its biological activities. The present study was undertaken to analyze A. creber extract and to evaluate its in vitro antimicrobial and anti-oxidant activities. UHPLC-MS/MS analysis of A. creber extract allowed the characterization of five known fungal metabolites including: asperlactone, emodin, sterigmatocystin, deoxybrevianamide E, and norsolorinic acid. The highest antimicrobial activity was displayed against Candida albicans, with a mean strongest inhibition zone of 20.6 ± 0.8 mm, followed by Gram-positive drug-resistant bacteria. The MIC values of A. creber extract varied from 0.325 mg/ml to 5 mg/ml. A. creber extract was shown a potent antioxidant activity and a high level of phenolic compounds by recording 89.28% scavenging effect for DPPH free radical, 92.93% in ABTS assay, and 85.76 mg gallic acid equivalents/g extract in Folin-Ciocalteu assay. To our knowledge, this is the first study concerning biological and chemical activities of A. creber species. Based on the obtained results, A. creber could be a promising source of natural antimicrobial and antioxidant compounds.Among the species belonging to the Aspergillus section Versicolores, Aspergillus creber has been poorly studied and still unexplored for its biological activities.
