Alcea calvertii'nin Biyolojik Aktivitelerinin İncelenmesi

Herbs are widely used in the treatment of diseases as colds, infections, and cancer. In this work, we evaluate Alcea calvertii, which is a perennial herbaceous plant belonging to Malvaceae family. It spreads Anatolia Mediterranean region has important uses terms ethnobotany. study, it was aimed cytotoxic potentials investigate antioxidant activities methanol, water, chloroform, ethyl acetate extracts aerial parts calvertii. For that, activity calvertii determined by four different methods [total phenolic content (TPC), ferric reducing power (FRAP), copper capacity (CUPRAC) 2,2-diphenylpicrylhydrazil (DPPH) radical scavenging activity. The cytotoxicity potential assessed human lung cancer cell line (A549) MTT assay. observed that highest methanol extract increased with increasing concentration; TPC values were between 62.5 - 414.6 GAE µg mL-1, FRAP 115.7 1321.4 µM Trolox equivalent g-1, CUPRAC 177.1 IC50 DPPH determination 0.0089 3.5370 mg mL-1. caused concentration dependent manner, calculated be 36.8 62.64 concluded could an herb developing new drugs.
