Anti-Helicobacter pylori Potential of Three Edible Plants Known as Quelites in Mexico.
"Quelites" are edible plants that are part of the traditional agro-ecosystems in Mexico. These plants, despite their already known nutritional properties, are now considered neglected and underutilized species.

These plants, despite their already known nutritional properties, are now considered neglected and underutilized species. With the objective of promoting their reinsertion in the markets and mainly, in daily diets, efforts have been made to study them from multidisciplinary approaches to demonstrate their beneficial properties. To generate evidence of an added health-promoting value that would encourage quelites consumption, in the present work, the anti-Helicobacter pylori activity of three representative quelite species, Anoda cristata (Alache), Cnidoscolus aconitifolius (Chaya), and Crotalaria pumila (Chepil), was tested. H. pylori is considered the etiological agent of gastritis, ulcer, and gastric cancer, and represents a public health problem in Mexico and worldwide. Aqueous (AQ) and dichloromethane–methanol (DM) extracts were obtained from the three species of quelites to investigate their effect on H. pylori growth and on two of its colonization factors (adherence and urease activity). DM extracts from Chaya, Chepil, and Alache exert the best inhibitory effect on bacterial growth, with minimum inhibitory concentrations of 62.5, 125, and 250 μg/mL, respectively. AQ and DM extracts inhibit bacterial adhesion by 30% to 50%. None of them has an effect on urease activity. The two flavonoids present in A. cristata, acacetin and diosmetin, inhibit H. pylori growth by ∼90% with 3.9 μg/mL. These results provide new information about the anti-H. pylori potential of three edible quelites, and give an added value, since their routine consumption may impact on the prevention and/or control of H. pylori-associated diseases. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: research tables/charts Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
