Sorbus torminalis (L.) Crantz has a rich history of versatile applications spanning the fields of medicine and nutrition. It is noteworthy that the decoction obtained from S. torminalis leaves is a traditional treatment method against both diabetes and stomach disorders. Phytochemical profiling determined by HPLC/MS-MS. The effects of the extracts on cell viability were investigated using the MTT (3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide) method against MDA-MB-231 cell line (human breast adenocarcinoma).The ethanol/water extract contained more concentration of total phenolic (91.41 mg gallic acid (GAE) equivalent /gr) and flavanoid (29.10 mg rutin (RE) equivalent/gr) in the tested extract (p<0.05). Resulting of HPLC analysis, the chemical constituents varied depending on the solvents and chlorogenic acid, hyperoside, isoquercetin, delphindin-3,5-diglucoside, procyanidin B2, epicatechin, neochlorogenic acid, 3,5-dicaffeoylquinic acid were identified in all extracts. Overall, ethanol, n-hexane and ethyl acetate extracts showed the highest inhibition for the tyrosinase enzyme. The effect of leaf extracts of S. torminalis on antimicrobial, biofilm inhibitory, and anticancer activities was examined. Based on outcomes of our study recognize this plant as a critical source of medically active chemicals for feasible phytopharmaceutical and nutraceutical applications, providing the first scientific insight into the detailed biological and chemical profiles of S. torminalis.

The current work focused on researching the bioactive potential of ethyl acetate (EA), methanol (MeOH), and water extract of H. humile plant, specifically ethyl acetate, methanol extracts were acquired with maceration method, and water extract was obtained by the infusion method. The highest total phenolic ingredient was determined in the water extract, while the highest total flavonoid ingredient was found in the MeOH extract. The water extract displayed the most potent antioxidant activity in the assays used. The ethyl acetate extract showed the highest enzyme inhibition activity in Butyrylcholinesterase inhibition (BChE) and amylase assay. Antibacterial efficiency was analyzed using microdilution analysis. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) amounts ranged from 125 to 500 μg/mL except for water extract. The antiviral potential of the extracts was assessed against Bovine herpes virus 1 (BoHV-1) (Cooper strain). Methanol extract showed more potent antiviral effect. Selectivity indices were calculated for ethyl acetate and methanol extract as 3.32 and 13.39, respectively. All extracts displayed Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA) protection activity at approximately 25%–35%. For cell viability evaluation, 3-(4,5-Dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-Diphenyltetrazolium Bromide (MTT) test was performed against triple-negative human breast adenocarcinoma cells (MDA-MB-231) and Michigan Cancer Foundation-7 (MCF-7) cells. The most effective results were found in ethyl acetate extract at 48h. The 50% inhibitor concentrations (IC50) were determined for MDA-MB-231 and MCF-7 as 116.7 μg/mL and 247.9 μg/mL, respectively. Based on the bioactive compound content results, extracts of H. humile include valuable compounds that possess significant biological properties. In conclusion, these extracts could offer promising novel plant-derived therapeutics.

As the safety and effectiveness of synthetic drugs remain in doubt, researchers are trying to develop natural medicines from medicinal plants. Herein, ethyl acetate, methanol and water extracts from the Heracleum humile plant were obtained by an ultrasonic-assisted extraction process and the aim was to evaluate some biological effects of the extracts due to the limited data on the pharmacological properties of Heracleum humile in the literature. Weak antibacterial activity was observed on tested bacterial species. The minimum inhibitory concentration and the minimum bactericidal concentration values ranged from 250 to 500 μg/mL. In addition, cytotoxic activity was determined using the MTT test. The strongest findings were determined for ethyl acetate extract on the MDA-MB-231 cell lines at the 48th hour (IC50:97.94 μg/mL), followed by the MCF-7 cell lines at the 24th hour (IC50:103.9 μg/mL). All extracts of Heracleum humile contained mainly flavonoids, phenolic acids and their derivatives, i. e., well-known compounds that possess numerous biological activities such as antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anticancer, antimicrobial etc. The study results could provide important information that Heracleum humile could be a potential candidate as a natural enzyme inhibitor. It can be concluded that these extracts could be useful in the elementary step of improving novel plant-derived multifunctional pharmaceuticals.
