The flavonoid glycosides showed strong antibacterial activity against six pathogenic bacteria tested through well diffusion and microdilution methodologies. A 2,800 µg/ml concentration showed 100% inhibition of all bacteria tested. (see constituents above) (39)
Neuroprotective / Cholinesterase and ß-Secretase Enzymes Inhibition: Study evaluated the in-vitro neuroprotective effect of extracts against acetylcholinesterase (AChE), butyrylcholinesterase (BChE), and ß-secretase enzymes linked to Alzheimer's disease (AD). The extract showed more selectivity towards BChE (IC50 278 µg/ml) compared to AChE (IC50 322.87 µg/ml). IC50 against ß-secretase was 173.93 µg/ml. The extract showed CC50 of 965.45 µg/ml against HepG2 cells, IC50s against CYP3A4  (477.03 µg/ml) and CYP2D6 (249.65 µg/ml) isoenzymes showed safety aspects of the extract. In silico molecular docking of target enzymes showed the compound menthoside was most stable with a good docking score among metabolites. Study results suggest anti-Alzheimer's potential. (40)
Nanofibers Incorporated with Flavonoid Glycosides for Antibacterial Dressings: Electrospun nanofibers are non-woven fibers produced from natural or synthetic materials using electrospinning apparatus. Study evaluated flavonoid glycosides from Glinus oppositifolius blended in the nanofiber formulation to produced an antibacterial dressing. The nanofibers produced exhibited strong antibacterial activity against tested pathogens viz. K. pneumonia, P. vulgaris and Streptococcus sp. Plant-based value-added nanofiber has potential as an alternative, cost-effective, less toxic wound dressing material. (41)
Antidiabetic / Seeds: Study evaluated the in vivo antidiabetic efficacy of seed extract of G. lotoides in normoglycemic, oral glucose-loaded and streptozotocin (150 mg/kg)-nicotinamide (65 mg/kg)-elicited type II diabetic rats. The extract LD was greater than 2g/kg. The seed extract significantly reduced blood glucose in normoglycemic rats (p<0.05-0.001). All extract doses ameliorated blood glucose levels after 4 weeks of therapy (p<0.05-0.001). (42)
Antitumor / Aerial Parts: Study evaluated the antitumor activity of two extracts from G. oppositifolium aerial parts in MCF-7, A549, PC3, and CACO2 cancer cell lines. FT-IR analysis revealed triterpenes and carbohydrates in both extracts and sterols in the ethanolic extract. Viability assay showed the aqueous extract had promising cytotoxic effect on CACO2 (IC50 97.69). Induction of apoptosis was supported by an increase in cell population in sub-G1 phase. Another possible mechanism of reduced CACO2 cell viability was the increase in intracellular oxidative stress.
The extracts had insignificant cytotoxic effects on MCF-7, A549, and PC3 cells. (43)
