Synopsis

Keywords: Data Acquisition, Spectroscopy, proton NMR spectroscopy, in vitro spectroscopy, obesity

Obesity, a disorder of lipid metabolism, has become a serious health issue globally. Recently, research on pungent phytochemicals and plants with nutritional and medicinal values has gained interest in obesity management. In this study, phytochemicals (n=21) and medicinal plants (n=38) from pungent and non-pungent groups were studied using proton NMR phytometabolomics for their anti-obesity properties. Multivariate analysis of NMR data demonstrated the potential of proton NMR metabolomics in differentiating medicinal plants and their active phytochemicals with anti-obesity properties. These were further confirmed with anti-lipase assays and alkaloid analysis (indicating presence of pungent molecules) of the medicinal plants.
