Öğe In vitro antimicrobial and antioxidant activity of ethanol extract of three hypericum and three achillea species from Turkey(Taylor & Francis, 2011-02-25) Barış Cebe, Deniz; Kızıl, Murat; Aytekin, Mehmet Çetin; Kızıl, Göksel; Yavuz, Murat; Çeken Toptancı, Bircan; Ertekin, Alaattin SelçukThe present study was conducted to determine the antimicrobial, antifungal and antioxidant activity of the ethanol extract of Hypericum scabrum L (HSm), Hypericum lysimachioides var. lysimachioides (HL), and Hypericum retusum Aucher (HR) and ethanol extracts of Achillea aleppica D.C. subsp. aleppica (AA), Achillea aleppica D.C. subsp. zederbaueri (Hayek) Hub.-Mor (AZ), and Achillea biebersteinii Afan. (AB). The antioxidant properties of extracts were evaluated using different antioxidants tests, including reducing power, free radical scavenging, deoxyribose assay, metal chelating activities and determination of total phenolic compounds. The extracts obtained from Hypericum and Achillea species showed high antioxidant properties. The protective effects of plant extracts were compared with a well known antioxidant, Butilated Hydroxytoluen (BHT) and α-tocopherol. Total antioxidant activity of ethanol extracts of plants were also tested by using ferric thiocyanate (FTC) and thiobarbituric acid (TBA) methods. Antioxidative activities of plant extracts were found to be comparable with Vitamin E. The results showed that the ethanol extracts of all tested plant exhibited different activity against tested microorganisms. Since most of the studied extracts have good antimicrobial and antioxidant activity, it might be possible to use them as natural food additives that act both as antioxidants and as spices.Öğe A detailed biological and chemical investigation of 16 Achillea species’ essential oilsvia chemometric approach(Wiley-Blackwell, 2020-01-30) Yener, İsmail; Yılmaz, Mustafa Abdullah; Tokul Ölmez, Özge; Akdeniz, Mehmet; Tekin, Fetullah; Haşimi, Nesrin; Alkan, Mehmet Hüseyin; Öztürk, Mehmet; Ertaş, AbdulselamRepresentatives of the Achillea genus are widely used as foods or nutraceuticals. Considering the increasing demand for herbal dietary supplements with health promoting effects, the objective of this research was to evaluate the chemical composition and biological activities of the essential oils obtained from sixteen Achillea species ( A. biebersteinii, A. wilhelmsii subsp. wilhelmsii, A.aleppica subsp. zederbaveri, A. vermicularis, A. monocephala, A. nobilis, A. goniocephala , A. sintenisii , A. coarctata, A. kotschyi subsp. kotschyi, A. millefolium subsp. millefolium, A. lycaonica, A. spinulifolia, A. teretifolia, A. setacea, and A. schischkinii ). Anticholinesterase, antiurease, antityrosinase enzymes inhibition, antioxidant, antimicrobial, toxic and cytotoxic activities of obtained essential oils were investigated. DPPH activities were found to be very low in all studied samples, while ABTS and CUPRAC antioxidant activities were found to be moderate. In addition, all samples were found to have moderate anticholinesterase and antimicrobial effects. It has been determined that the studied species have low cytotoxicity and high toxicity. Besides, chemical composition of the essential oils were determined by GC-MS and the results were chemometrically analyzed. The chemometric analyses of Achillea species collected from 9 different regions were accomplished by principal component analysis (PCA) and hierarchical cluster analysis (HCA) techniques. According to the PCA analysis, A. nobilis subsp. neilreichii was found to be different from all studied species in terms of essential oil composition. The major components found in these species were piperitone, camphor, α-terpinene, eucalyptol, artemisia-ketone, endo-borneol, β-eudesmol and verbenol. The fact that, camphor being toxic and found in majority of the studied species, stands out as a remarkable result.
