Plants from the Nepeta genus have been proved to possess different pharmacological properties, among which are antimicrobial, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and cytotoxic effects. Nepeta italica is a medicinal plant traditionally used for its analgesic effects, and in the present study, the phytochemical composition and biological effects of hexane, dichloromethane (DCM), ethyl acetate (EA), ethanol, ethanol-water, and water extracts of the aerial parts were investigated for determining phenolic composition, antioxidant effects, and anti-inflammatory effects in isolated mouse colon specimens exposed to lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Polar extracts were the richest in terms of phenolic compounds, especially rosmarinic acid. In parallel, ethanol, ethanol-water, and water extracts were also the most effective as scavenging/reducing and enzyme inhibition agents, especially towards cholinesterases and α-glucosidase, and in inhibiting the LPS-induced cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and tumor necrosis factor α (TNFα) gene expression in mouse colon. This poses the basis for future in vivo investigations for confirming the protective effects of polar extracts of N. italica against inflammatory bowel diseases.
Bu çalışmada, 2019-2021 yıllarında Mardin’in 9 ilçesine bağlı 18 farklı yerleşim yeri gezilmiş ve toplam 61 kaynak kişi ile görüşülmüştür. Yörede Kürt, Türk, Arap, Süryani gibi farklı etnik gruplar olduğundan, farklı kültürel gruplardan kişiler seçilerek etnobotanik içerikli görüşmeler yapılmıştır. 18-85 yaş arasındaki kaynak kişilerle görüşmeler sağlanmış, farklı eğitim düzeyleri ve farklı yaş grupları tercih edilmiştir. Yapılan etnobotanik araştırmada 18 familya ve 28 cinse ait 61 geofit taksonun etnobotanik özellikleri tespit edilmiştir. Familya bazında en fazla kullanım Amaryllidaceae (13), Iridaceae (12), Araceae (7); cins bazında ise en fazla kullanım; Allium (10), Iris (6) ve Crocus (4) olarak belirlenmiştir.
The aim of this study is to investigate the milk coagulation properties of some plants such as Biarum aleppicum, Biarum bovei and Arum rupicola belonging to the Aracea family, and to produce yoghurt with a natural method. In our study, the root tubers of the plants used in the coagulation of milk were sliced and the leaves were chopped directly. After the second repetition of the fermentation process and the second process, it was observed that the color of the yoghurt obtained was whiter, its fluidity was stronger, and its taste was sweeter. With this study, yoghurt-like sweet milk clot was obtained by using tubers and leaves of Biarum aleppicum, Biarum bovei, Arum rupicola plants, which were not used before.
