Abstract

The Lauraceae is a botanical family known for its anti‐inflammatory potential. However, several species have not yet been studied. Thus, this work aimed to screen the anti‐inflammatory activity of this plant family and to build statistical prediction models. The methodology was based on the statistical analysis of high‐resolution liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry data and the ex vivo anti‐inflammatory activity of plant extracts. The ex vivo results demonstrated significant anti‐inflammatory activity for several of these plants for the first time. The sample data were applied to build anti‐inflammatory activity prediction models, including the partial least square acquired, artificial neural network, and stochastic gradient descent, which showed adequate fitting and predictive performance. Key anti‐inflammatory markers, such as aporphine and benzylisoquinoline alkaloids were annotated with confidence level 2. Additionally, the validated prediction models proved to be useful for predicting active extracts using metabolomics data and studying their most bioactive metabolites.
