Sodium nitroprusside (SNP) was employed as a NO donor and spiked with an aqueous extract from Aloysia triphylla leaves prior to HPLC analysis. Relying on the ability of radical scavenging constituents to be oxidized upon reaction with radicals, this assay successfully allowed direct identification of three potential NO scavengers, including verbascoside, isoverbascoside, and luteolin-7-O-diglucuronide. These three phenolics were also individually assessed for their NO scavenging activities by using a Griess colorimetric assay. With respective IC50 values of 56 \u00b1 4, 51 \u00b1 3, and 69 \u00b1 5 \u00b5g\/mL, verbascoside, isoverbascoside, and luteolin-7-O-diglucuronide were all reported as potent NO scavenging compounds, confirming the efficiency of the SNP spiking HPLC assay. The present method can, thus, be considered as a valuable and effective approach for speeding up the discovery of NO scavenging constituents.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/molecules23071574","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,6,28]],"date-time":"2018-06-28T10:53:33Z","timestamp":1530183213000},"page":"1574","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":18,"title":["A Novel HPLC Method for Direct Detection of Nitric Oxide Scavengers from Complex Plant Matrices and Its Application to Aloysia triphylla Leaves"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"23","author":[{"given":"Didier","family":"Fraisse","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Universit\u00e9 Clermont Auvergne, INRA, UNH, F-63000 Clermont-Ferrand, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Alexandra","family":"Degerine-Roussel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universit\u00e9 Clermont Auvergne, INRA, UNH, F-63000 Clermont-Ferrand, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Alexis","family":"Bred","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universit\u00e9 Clermont Auvergne, INRA, UNH, F-63000 Clermont-Ferrand, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Samba Fama","family":"Ndoye","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory of Organic and Therapeutic Chemistry, Faculty of Medicine, Pharmacy and Odontology (F.M.P.O.), Cheikh Anta Diop University (U.C.A.D.), Dakar-Fann PB 5005, Senegal"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Magali","family":"Vivier","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"UMR IMoST 1240 Inserm, Universit\u00e9 Clermont Auvergne, 63005 Clermont-Ferrand, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Catherine","family":"Felgines","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universit\u00e9 Clermont Auvergne, INRA, UNH, F-63000 Clermont-Ferrand, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Fran\u00e7ois","family":"Senejoux","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universit\u00e9 Clermont Auvergne, INRA, UNH, F-63000 Clermont-Ferrand, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,6,28]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"541","DOI":"10.1089\/ars.2008.2234","article-title":"Nitric Oxide in Health and Disease of the Nervous System","volume":"11","author":"Knott","year":"2009","journal-title":"Antioxid.
