Abstract:The galls of cynipid species (Hymenoptera: Cynipidae) have been used since ancient times as an important source of bioactive compounds. Many researchers have evaluated the medicinal potential of some cynipid galls and found that these galls have numerous ethnomedical uses. The aim of this study was to determine the total bioactive (phenolic, flavonoid and tannin) compound amounts of gall extracts, to reveal the phenolic compound contents by HPLC method and to set ground for future pharmaceutical studies. The g… Show more
