| Description | Polygonum lapathifolium is an invasive plant spread worldwide, which has been used in traditional medicine for its biological activities. We studied chemical profile of the aerial part using HPLC/DAD/ESI-MS. Eight flavonoids, two chalcones and gallic acid were isolated, identified nad tested for their activity in seven experimental models (for antioxidant, alpha/beta-glucosidase inhibitory, antimicrobial, anticholineserase activity). Our results showed that P. lapathifolium is a valuable source of compounds with perspective biological activities. |
