Asclepias linaria Cav. (Apocynaceae) is a shrubby plant endemic of Mexico which has been used in traditional medicine. However, the bioactive potential of this plant remains unexplored. In this study, the phenolic composition, antioxidant, and cytotoxic activities of A. linaria leaves were determined. In order to estimate the phenolic composition of the leaves, the total phenolic, flavonoid, and condensed tannins contents were determined. Furthermore, the antioxidant activity was measured by the scavenging activity of the 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH•) and 2,2′-azino-bis[3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulphonic acid] (ABTS•+) radicals and the total antioxidant capacity. The phenolic compounds identified in the A. linaria leaves by ultra-performance liquid chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS) include phenolic acids, such as p-coumaric and ferulic acid, as well as flavonoids, such as rutin and quercetin. The leaves’ extracts of A. linaria showed a high scavenging activity of DPPH• and ABTS•+ radicals (IC50 0.12 ± 0.001 and 0.51 ± 0.003 µg/mL, respectively), high total antioxidant capacity values (99.77 ± 4.32 mg of ascorbic acid equivalents/g of dry tissue), and had a cytotoxic effect against K562 and HL60 hematologic neoplasia cells lines, but no toxicity towards the normal mononuclear cell line was observed. These results highlight the potential of A. linaria and could be considered as a possible alternative source of anticancer compounds.

Lipoprotein (a) (Lp(a)) which is a low-density lipoprotein-like particle containing apo(a) is considered as an emergent cardiovascular risk factor. Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is associated with a two- to threefold increase in the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). The aim of this study was to investigate the levels of Lp(a) in Black South African T2DM patients and its association with other metabolic factors. 67 T2DM patients and 48 healthy control participants were recruited for the cross-sectional study. The Lp(a) level was determined by ELISA and the result was analyzed using SPSS. The Lp(a) level in diabetics was found to be significantly increased (P=0.001) when compared to the normal healthy group. In the diabetic group, the Lp(a) levels correlated significantly with the duration of diabetes (P=0.008) and oxidized LDL (ox-LDL) levels (P=0.03) and decreased total antioxidant capacity (P=0.001). The third tertile of Lp(a) was significantly correlated with increased ox-LDL, C-reactive protein, and triglycerides and decreased total antioxidant capacity.

In the last years, there has been an increase in consumption of wine vinegars in Portugal. Thus, the aim of this work was to evaluate the phenolic composition and total antioxidant capacity from several commercial red wine vinegars commercialized in Portuguese market. Several parameters were evaluated: general phenolic composition, chromatic characteristics, individual anthocyanins and phenolic acids by HPLC, and total antioxidant capacity by two methodologies (DPPH and ABTS). For the different parameters analyzed, the red wine vinegars samples studied differed significantly. Vinegars with higher phenolic content tend to have lower lightness, but higher values of the red component color. High diversity of anthocyanins was detected, with some of the vinegars being distinguished by having significantly higher values of anthocyanins compared to the others, as was detected for the generality of the other phenolic parameters. The total antioxidant capacity was positively correlated with the different phenolic parameters. Finally, higher total antioxidant capacity was detected for the phenolic fraction containing anthocyanins and polymeric proanthocyanidins. The results obtained confirm that red wine vinegars are good sources of phenolic compounds and antioxidants. However, there is a great diversity of values for the various red wine vinegars commercialized in the Portuguese market.
