The aim of this work was to evaluate the antioxidant potential of teas prepared from twenty-four commercially available berries and flowers of Sambucus nigra L. in relation to their phenolic profile, as reflected by the most representative phenolic acids (caffeic, chlorogenic, p-coumaric, ferulic, gallic and syringic acids); flavonols (quercetin, kaempferol, myricetin and rutin); and total phen...

Sambucus ebulus (SE) (Dwarf elder) is an herbaceous plant well known in the traditional medicine of the Balkans and Anatolia for its healing effects in many disorders. The present study aimed to compare SE aqueous (SEA) and aqueous – ethanolic (SEAE) (20%, 40%, 60% and 80%) fruit extracts in regard of their antioxidant activity (AOA), total polyphenol content (TPC) and anthocyanins content (AC)...

As part of our ongoing search for bioactive constituents of natural Korean medicinal plants, three new lignan derivatives, sambucasinol A-C (1-3), together with 7 known compounds (4-10) were isolated from the twigs of Sambucus williamsii. The structures of these new compounds were determined by a combination of 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopic data analysis, as well as circular dichroism (CD) spectr...

In this study, S. nigra L. and ebulus (Adoxaceae) species belonging to the Sambucus genus were examined. Species of collected from northern Turkey anatomical comparisons made. Stem leaf anatomy examined by light microscopy. The plants have woody stem anatomy. druse crystals which are main characters observed in taxa. Differences found number cells vascular bundles, arrangement druze crystals, s...
