Use of Secondary Metabolites Profiling and Antioxidant Activity to Unravel the Differences between Two Species of Nettle.

ABSTRACT: In recent years, the interest in natural remedies has increased, so it is important to analyze the plants widely distributed in nature but whose composition is little known. The main objective of the present work is to obtain information based on the profiles of secondary metabolites and antioxidant activity in Lamium album, a very widespread but little studied plant, with the aim of revealing the differences compared to Urtica dioica. First, the optimization of enzymatic extraction assisted by ultrasound was carried out by the Box-Behnken method. The optimized parameters were: concentration of the enzyme-3.3% cellulase, temperature-55 °C, and the extraction time-40.00 min. The efficiency was estimated based on the content of iridoids, the main class of secondary metabolites
