soriasis is a common chronic inflammatory disease. Under an inflammatory

stimulus, epidermis can convert arachidonic acid to prostaglandin E2

(PGE2), a pro-inflammatory mediator which can elevate the cellular levels of

cyclic nucleotides promoting psoriasis pathogenesis. Adherence to prescribed

drugs might be a problem in some patients due to side effects associated,

so finding an alternative natural treatment is of great interest. Due to the

anti-inflammatory properties related to olive (

Olea europaea

L.) leaves, the

objective of this work was to characterize the bioactive components of

Xorialyc®, an olive leaves extract standardized to ortho-diphenols and luteolin-

7-o-glucoside, and test its anti-inflammatory action compared to other similar

extracts. Identification of Luteolin-7-o-glucoside was accomplished by high

performance liquid chromatography, while the characterization of ortho-

diphenol content was carried out by colorimetric determination as catechin

monohydrate. To determine the anti-inflammatory activity the production of

PGE2 was measured in lipopolysaccharide and interferon γ-stimulated murine

macrophages, RAW264.7 cells, in the presence or absence of different doses

of Xorialyc®, Diclofenac or other olive leaves extracts. More than 1 mg/g of

Luteolin-7-O-glucoside was quantified in Xorialyc® sample at 355 nm. The

total ortho-diphenolic content was higher than 30% of dry basis. All extracts

inhibited the release of PGE2 in a dose dependent relation, being Xorialyc®

the most active (p-value ≤0.05). Compared with Diclofenac, Xorialyc® induced

higher inhibition of PGE2 release at lower doses (p-value ≤0.05).The high levels

of ortho-diphenols and Luteolin-7-O-glucoside at Xorialyc®may be responsible

for the higher inhibition of PGE2 release compared to other commercial olive

leaves extracts, being at lower doses more active than Diclofenac. These

findings may help in the search of more natural anti-psoriatic treatments as an

alternative to the pharmacological ones that, in general, are related to higher

side effects.

Biography

Daniel Gonzalez-Hedstrom has obtained his Bachelors’ in

Biochemistry in 2016 at the Universitat de les Illes Balears

(Spain). After completing the Bachelors’ Biochemistry, he

obtained his Masters’ in Pharmacological Research at the

Universidad Autonoma de Madrid (Spain), where he carried out

his Master thesis about the cardiovascular insulin resistance

in an experimental model of childhood obesity in rats. He is

doing his PhD in Pharmacology and Physiology at the Research

& Development department of the company, Pharmactive

Biotech Products S L in collaboration with the research group of

Dr Miriam Granado, who protects the doctoral thesis, under the

Doctorado Industrial Fellowship by the Comunidad de Madrid.

His work is focused in the development of new plant-based

nutraceuticals and tests its functionality in vitro and in vivo.

He has recently published 3 papers in Q1 journals and he has

participated in many different scientific congresses.
