The study aims to investigate the antioxidant activities, phenolic compounds, acetylcholinesterase enzyme inhibition and cytotoxic effects of two different Artemisia spp. (Artemisia dracunculus L. and Artemisia dracunculoides Pursh) cultivated in Türkiye organically, for the first time. The total phenolic and total flavonoid contents of the plants were determined spectrophotometrically while antioxidant activity DPPH•, CUPRAC, and FRAP was determined using the colorimetric method. And also, acetylcholinesterase in vitro enzyme inhibition activity and anti-cancer activity against human melanoma (VMM917, CRL-3232), lung carcinoma (A549, CCL-185), and normal human fibroblast (hGF, PCS-201-018) cells were studied. Total phenolic (225-324 μg GAE/mL extract) and total flavonoid contents (0.066-0.085 μg QE/mL extract), antioxidant activity Color Scavenging Concentration 50% (DPPH• (CSC50: 1.371-1.655 mg/mL), CUPRAC (0.246-0.344 μM CTEAC) and FRAP (462.133-726.661 μM CTEAC)). A. dracunculus and A. dracunculoides extracts inhibited 40.09 ± 0.65%, and 39.48 ± 3.68% of acetylcholinesterase activity. It was determined that demonstrated the selective effect of A. dracunculus and A. dracunculoides on the cytotoxicity of A549 and hGF cells. According to our results, both tarragon plant species, it may be said that it is not only consumed as food but also used for therapeutic purposes will be beneficial for health.

Bu çalışmada, Arum italicum bitkisine ait yumrunun yenilebilir ve yenmeyen kısımlarından elde edilen metanolik ve sulu ekstraktların, fenolik içerikleri ve antioksidan aktiviteleri belirlenmiştir. Ek olarak, bitkinin bu kısımlarının antioksidan potansiyeli, fenolik kompoziyonu ile ilişkilendirilmiştir. Bitkinin antioksidan aktivitesini belirlemek için Toplam Fenolik Madde Miktarı, FRAP, CUPRAC ve radikal süpürme aktiviteyi belirleyen DPPH antioksidan aktivite testleri yapılmıştır. Bitki yumrusunun her iki kısmındaki fenolik profiller hazırlanan metanolik ekstraktlarında RP– HPLC–UV ve LC–MS/ MS cihazları kullanılarak belirlenmiştir. En yüksek toplam fenolik içerik, FRAP, CUPRAC ve % DPPH değerleri, yumrunun yenmeyen kısmının metanolik ekstraktında sırasıyla 164 µg GAE/mL, 878 TEAC(µM), 0.064 TEAC(µM) ve 19.41 olarak ölçülmüştür LC/MS-MS ölçümlerinde her iki yumru kısmının metanolik ekstraktlarında ferulik asit, ana fenolik bileşik olarak belirlendi. Bununla birlikte RP–HPLC–UV ölçümlerinde ise, bitki yumrusunun yenilebilir ve yenilmeyen kısımlarında sırasıyla luteolin ve rutin fenolikleri ana bileşikler olarak ölçülmüştür.

The object of the present study was to investigate the antioxidant, antimicrobial activity and phenolic compounds of fruit and seeds of Diospyros lotus L. The fruits consumed by humans as nutrients were harvested from the plants that grow naturally in the province of Trabzon-Akçaabat, Eastern Black Sea Region of Turkey. The antioxidant activities of fruit and seeds of Diospyros lotus were determined by using four methods (% DPPH radical scavenging activity, FRAP antioxidant power determination, CUPRAC reducing antioxidant activity and total phenolic content (TPC) in five different proportion of methanol-water extracts. All extracts of fruit and seeds of D. lotus analyzed through whole antioxidant analysis methods showed significant antioxidant activity. In addition, antimicrobial activity of fruit and seeds extracted with DMSO was determined against seven standard bacteria and three multi-drug resistance clinical strains. Although fruit extracts did not have the antimicrobial activity against bacteria, seeds showed antimicrobial effect to both standard strains (Gram-negative and Gram-positive) and antibiotic resistance clinical isolates (Klebsiella pneumoniae carrying blaKPC, Acinetobacter baumannii, harboring blaOXA-23 gene and resistance to colistin, and multi-drug resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa). MICs’ value of plant seed extracts for standard strains was 0.75-25 mg/mL and antibiotic resistant clinical bacteria were 12.5 and 25 mg/mL. Additionally, phenolic compounds in methanol extracts of fruit and seeds were also determined in by HPLC using 19 standards. Gallic acid and chrysin phenolic compounds were the major phenolic compounds in fruit and seeds, respectively.

Gidik, Betul; Akar, Zeynep; Can, Zehra; Sefali, Abdurrahman; Erturk, Omer
Five different rosehip (Rosa L.) species including, Rosa canina, Rosa iberica Stev, Rosa villosa, Rosa beggeriana Schrenk and same kind of but different location Rosa spinosissima grown in Bayburt from Turkey are studied. The wild species of Rosa L. were collected from Rocks and Steps, Field and garden borders. Morphological parameters were measured as fruit and seed weights and fruit and seed size. Ten fruits were chosen randomly for the measurement and take the average of them to determine the weights and size. In our study was determined antioxidant activity, antimicrobial activity and phenolic compounds. As antioxidant activity; total phenolic total flavonoid, condense tannin contents, CUPRAC, FRAP, ABTS. Nineteen standard of phenolic compositions of fruits and seeds were determined. Antioxidant, antimicrobial activities of the extracts were found high levels in rose hip species fruit than seed. Catechin, rutin protocatequic acid and CAPE were principal for all rose hip species fruit but, was not deteceted CAPE Kop Mountain, Yukari Kop Village Rosa spinosissima species. This suggests that the difference in location affects the phenolic content. Pearson Correlation analyze has done with the morphological parameters, GPS data, antioxidant activity and phenolic compounds by using the SPSS software programme version 25.0.
