Reviewer 2 Report

 

This study is interesting because it contributes to evaluate the pharmacological activities and the characterization of phenolic and flavonoid compounds in extracts of Solenostemma argel.

The Methodology of the assays and the Results are very complete and well described, presented with two figures and eight tables, and the most important findings are well connected and discussed with references to other studies in the Discussion.

The results revealed that S. argel methanolic extracts contain considerable quantities of phenolic compounds, flavonoids, and volatile compounds. It´s a promising source of novel nontoxic anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant compounds. It can also be used as antimicrobial and anticancer agents.

There are some minor changes that need to be made. The proposed review changes are as follows:

- On page 2, line 22, the name of the species should be with the descriptor, like this “Solenostemma argel (Delile) Hayne”;

- On page 3, lines 129, 130 and 131, the names of the species should be in italic.

With these changes, the recommendation will be to accept the manuscript for publication.
