    Characterization of the Biological Activity and Phenolics in Achillea lycaonica
    (TAYLOR & FRANCIS INC, 2018) RAYAMAN, ERKAN; Taskin, Turgut; Taskin, Duygu; Rayaman, Erkan; Dikpinar, Tugce; Suzgec-Selcuk, Sevda; Arabaci, Turan
    The purpose of this study was to comparatively evaluate for the first time the antioxidant, antimicrobial, and antiurease effects of A. lycaonica extracts obtained using three extraction methods and five solvents followed by identification of the phenolic compounds obtained by Soxhlet extraction with ethyl acetate and maceration with chloroform that showed the highest total phenolic and flavonoid contents with antioxidant and antiurease activity. The phenolic compounds were identified to be chlorogenic acid, caffeic acid, rutin, dicaffeoylquinic acid, salicylic acid, luteolin, quercetin, naringenin, apigenin, and 8-hydroxy- salvigenin. Among the solvent extraction procedures, Soxhlet approach was found to have higher recoveries than other approaches. The results of 2, 2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) assays showed that the 1: 1 ethanol-water Soxhlet, ethanol ultrasonic bath, and ethyl acetate Soxhlet extraction methods had the highest DPPH antioxidant activities. The ethyl acetate Soxhlet extraction method showed the highest 2, 2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzthiazoline- 6-sulfonic acid) diammonium salt (ABTS) and ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) antioxidant activity. In addition, the chloroform maceration extraction method exhibited the highest antiurease activity. Therefore, 1: 1 Soxhlet ethanol-water, ultrasonic bath ethanol, and Soxhlet ethyl acetate extracts may be used in medicine and food production as natural antioxidant sources. In addition, maceration with chloroform may provide a potential antiurease agent.

    AN EVALUATION OF ANTIOXIDANT, ANTIMICROBIAL, ANTIBIOFILM AND CYTOTOXIC ACTIVITIES OF FIVE VERBASCUM SPECIES IN TURKEY
    (#N/A, 2018-12-22) TAŞKIN, TURGUT; BURCU SEN-UTSUKARCI, SIBEL DOSLER, TURGUT TASKIN, MAHMOUD ABUDAYYAK, GUL OZHAN, AFIFE MAT
    Verbascum L. species are used for different medicinal purposes in Turkish folk medicine such as diuretic, expectorant, laxative, mucolytic, sedative, sudorific, and wound healer. Five Verbascum species, two of which are used in medicine, were investigated for their antimicrobial, antioxidant and cytotoxic activities. Determination of the total phenolic compounds, DPPH and ABTS methods were preferred for the antioxidant tests. The antimicrobial and antibiofilm activities of the extracts, which were not studied previously, were investigated against pathogenic and potential pathogenic agents. The cytotoxicity was assessed by MTT and LDH tests. This study is very important for finding new therapeutic sources and also new, natural sources for food preservation.

    Comparative Studies on Essential Oil and Phenolic Content with In Vitro Antioxidant, Anticholinesterase, Antimicrobial Activities of Achillea biebersteinii Afan. and A. millefolium subsp. millefolium Afan. L. Growing in Eastern Turkey
    (2022-03-01) TAŞKIN, TURGUT; Toplan G. G., TAŞKIN T., İŞCAN G., GÖGER F., KÜRKÇÜOĞLU M., Civas A., Ecevit-Genc G., Mat A., Baser K. H. C.
    The potential applications of Achillea species in various industries have encouraged the examination of their phytochemical components along with their biological potential. In the present study, phenolic contents and essential oil compositions together with the in vitro biological activities of the aerial parts from Achillea biebersteinii Afan. and Achillea millefolium subsp. millefolium Afan. collected from Turkey were evaluated. Different solvent extracts (n-hexane, chloroform, methanol, water) were prepared and their antimicrobial, anticholinesterase, and antioxidant activities were studied. The LC-MS/MS results revealed the presence of 16 different phenolic compounds, including chlorogenic acid, rutin, quercetin, and luteolin glycosides, in methanolic extracts. According to GC-FID and GC/MS results, the primary components of the oils were identified as 1,8-cineole (32.5%), piperitone (14.4%), and camphor (13.7%) in A. biebersteinii and 1,8-cineole (12.3%) and beta-eudesmol (8.9%) in A. millefolium subsp. millefolium. The infusion and methanolic extracts of both species were found to be rich in their total phenolic content as well as their antioxidant and anticholinesterase activity. In contrast, the n-hexane and chloroform extracts of both species showed strong antimicrobial activity with MIC values ranging from 15 to 2000 mu g/mL. Our findings suggest that the investigated Achillea species could be evaluated as potent natural agents, and further studies into the promising extracts are needed.

    Phytochemical composition and pharmacological activities of Teucrium polium L. Collected from eastern Turkey
    (2022-01-01) TAŞKIN, TURGUT; Gülsoy Toplan G., GÖGER F., TAŞKIN T., Ecevit-Genç G., Civaş A., İŞCAN G., KÜRKÇÜOĞLU M., Mat A., Başer K. H. C.
    © TÜBİTAKTeucrium species that belong to the family Lamiaceae have been traditionally used for their medicinal properties. T. polium is one the most widespread members of the genus for its use in the treatment of several diseases. In this study, the essential oil and phenolic composition of the aerial parts from T. polium were assessed by GC-FID, GC/MS, and LC-MS/MS as well as for its total phenolic content. Several extracts such as n-hexane, chloroform, methanol, and infusion were prepared and their antimicrobial, antioxidant, and also acetylcholinesterase activities were studied. According to GC/MS results, ß -caryophyllene (8.8%), t-cadinol (6.2%), (E)-nerolidol (5%), α -cadinol (5.4%), and a-pinene (4.7%) were identified as main constituents of the essential oil. LC MS/MS analysis of the infusion and the methanol extract showed the presence of 15 phenolic compounds. Moreover, the total phenolic content of each sample was also determined and the infusion had the highest percentage of phenolics. To evaluate the antioxidant properties, the samples were tested by using DPPH\" free radical scavenging, FRAP, and CUPRAC activity methods. The infusion showed the strongest radical scavenging activity, whereas n-hexane and chloroform extracts exhibited considerable reducing power effects. The MIC values for all of the examined microorganisms ranged from 15 to 2000 µg/mL with respect to antimicrobial activities.

    Investigation of the Biological Activities of Different Extracts from Dipsacus laciniatus Aerial
    (BENTHAM SCIENCE PUBL, 2020) ŞENKARDEŞ, İSMAİL; Taskin, Turgut; Akkilic, Yeliz; Celik, Berna Ozbek; Senkardes, Ismail; Ozakpinar, Ozlem B.
    Background: The aerial parts of Dipsacus laciniatus are traditionally used in the treatment of colds as cold tea; decoction prepared from its roots and aerial parts are used for the treatment of diabetes and cancer, respectively. The extraction procedures and solvents are important steps in the processing of bioactive constituents from the plant materials. Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate in vitro antioxidant, antimicrobial, anticholinesterase and cytotoxic activities for the first time in plant's different extracts. Methods: The antioxidant activities of extracts were examined using FRAP and CUPRAC methods, including total phenolic and tlavonoids contents. In addition, the antimicrobial, anticholinesterase and cytotoxic activities of extracts were investigated using mnicrodilution, Ellman and MTT methods, respectively. Results: In the present study, methanol extract showed stronger iron (III) ion reduction (FRAP) and copper (II) ion reducing antioxidant capacity (('UPRAC) than other extracts and also contained higher total phenolic and flavonoid compounds. It was also found that there was a linear relationship between antioxidant activity and phenolic compounds in this study. It was demonstrated that the chloroform and methanol extracts showed moderate antimicrobial activity against S. epidermidis and C. albicatis strains. The chloroform extract had a strong and selective cytotoxic activity for the MCF-7 and HT-29 cell lines, while the methanol extract showed low cytotoxic activity on the same cell lines. In addition, according to the obtained data, chloroform extract showed a toxic effect on normal cell line (NIH/3T3), but other extracts showed no toxic effect. Conclusion: Since methanol extract has no toxic effect on normal cell line and has strong antioxidant, anticholinesterase and antimicrobial activity, it is thought that this extract may be useful as an antioxidant, anticholinesterase and antimicrobial agents in the future.
