Globularia alypum (GA), a plant of the Globulariacea family, has long been used as a traditional cure for inflammatory and metabolic illnesses. In addition to various in vitro model studies, the current work focuses on the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties of GA in human colon biopsies. The phenol components in GA aqueous extract (GAAE) were identified by Liquid Chromatography-Electrospray Ionization Mass Spectrometry. The antioxidant ability of GAAE was tested in vitro utilizing chemiluminescence and flow cytometry using fluorescent yeasts n conjunction with PLB-985-human myeloid leukemia cells. Experiments on human colon biopsies after a biopsy challenge with Escherichia coli-lipopolysaccharides aimed to see if GAAE had an anti-inflammatory impact on human colon inflammation. Western blotting was used to assess the expression of several inflammatory markers. According to the findings, GAAE had a significant influence on hydrogen peroxide and cellular reactive oxygen species. GAAE inhibited the activities of cyclooxygenase 2 and nuclear factor B in inflamed biopsies, indicating anti-inflammatory action. The present study is the first to show that GA has a beneficial effect on human colon inflammation, thanks to its significant antioxidant activity in vitro. According to these preliminary data, GA may be utilized to treat a range of human inflammatory illnesses.

Abstract
Globularia alypum (GA), a plant of the Globulariacea family, has long been used as a traditional cure for inflammatory and metabolic illnesses. In addition to various in vitro model studies, the current work focuses on the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties of GA in human colon biopsies. The phenol components in GA aqueous extract (GAAE) were identified by Liquid Chromatography-Electrospray Ionization Mass Spectrometry. The antioxidant ability of GAAE was tested in vitro utilizing chemiluminescence and flow cytometry using fluorescent yeasts n conjunction with PLB-985-human myeloid leukemia cells. Experiments on human colon biopsies after a biopsy challenge with Escherichia coli-lipopolysaccharides aimed to see if GAAE had an anti-inflammatory impact on human colon inflammation. Western blotting was used to assess the expression of several inflammatory markers. According to the findings, GAAE had a significant influence on hydrogen peroxide and cellular reactive oxygen species. GAAE inhibited the activities of cyclooxygenase 2 and nuclear factor B in inflamed biopsies, indicating anti-inflammatory action. The present study is the first to show that GA has a beneficial effect on human colon inflammation, thanks to its significant antioxidant activity in vitro. According to these preliminary data, GA may be utilized to treat a range of human inflammatory illnesses.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
