Antioxidant and antimicrobial activities of methanol extracts from Adonis paryadrica (Asteraceae) – a critically endangered endemic species growing in the Turkish flora

This study was conducted to determine the antioxidant and antimicrobial activities of methanol extract obtained from flower, leaf root sections endemic Adonis paryadrica (Boiss.) Kandemir & Aytaç stat. nova. naturally growing in Turkish flora. The most efficient total phenolic compounds flavonoid contents were at 21.24 mg GAEs (gallic acid equivalent)/g dw 54.97 REs (rutin dw, respectively. Among three different this plant, extracts showed highest Cupric Reducing Antioxidant Power (CUPRAC) effect with 80.28 µmol TEs (trolox dw. From sections, parts demonstrated strong antibacterial activity against Bacillus subtilis a 16.1 mm zone diameter. These valuable current findings these precious plants, which constitute natural resources terms biodiversity, contribute innovative information literature on plant species.
