Davide Barreca,Giuseppe Gattuso,Ersilia Bellocco,Antonella Calderaro,Domenico Trombetta,Antonella Smeriglio,Giuseppina Laganà,Maria Daglia,Silvia Meneghini,Seyed Mohammad Nabavi +9 more
TL;DR: This review analyzes the biochemistry, pharmacology, and biology of Citrus flavanones, emphasizing the occurrence in Citrus fruits and juices and their bioavailability, structure‐function correlations and ability to modulate signal cascades both in vitro and in vivo.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evaluation of the nutraceutical, antioxidant and cytoprotective properties of ripe pistachio (Pistacia vera L., variety Bronte) hulls
Davide Barreca,Giuseppina Laganà,Ugo Leuzzi,Antonella Smeriglio,Domenico Trombetta,Ersilia Bellocco +5 more
TL;DR: Methanol extraction gave the highest yields for all classes of compounds and presented a higher scavenging activity in all the antioxidant assays performed, highlighting the strong antioxidant and cytoprotective activity of the extract components.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biochemical and antimicrobial activity of phloretin and its glycosilated derivatives present in apple and kumquat.
TL;DR: The results obtained showed that the dihydrochalcones are able to inhibit growth of Gram positive bacteria, in particular Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 6538, Listeria monocytogenes ATCC 13932 and methicillin-resistant S. aUREus clinical strains.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evaluation of the antioxidant and cytoprotective properties of the exotic fruit Annona cherimola Mill. (Annonaceae)
Davide Barreca,Giuseppina Laganà,Silvana Ficarra,Ester Tellone,Ugo Leuzzi,Antonio Galtieri,Ersilia Bellocco +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the pulp of ripe fruits were extracted using three organic solvents (ethanol, methanol and dimethyl formammide) and analyzed for the total phenols, antioxidants power and cytoprotective activity on lymphocyte tert-butyl hydroperoxide treated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Influence of L-rhamnosyl-D-glucosyl derivatives on properties and biological interaction of flavonoids.
