Plants are responsible for many different biological activities. In our study, antioxidant, antimicrobial and anticholinestrase activities of Dittrichia graveolens (L.) Greuter were determined. In addition, the total phenolic and flavonoid contents of the plant were measured. The aerial parts of the plant were extracted with ethanol. Antioxidant activities of the extracts were measured with Rel assay kits. Antimicrobial activity was determined using the agar dilution method. Anticholinesterase activity was determined by measuring acetyl and butyrylcholinesterase activities. Determination of total phenolic content was determined using the Folin-Ciocalteu reagent. Total flavonoid quantification was performed using aluminum chloride assay. As a result of the study, the TAS value of the plant was determined as 6.933±0.121, the TOS value was 12.535±0.244 and the OSI value was 0.181±0.006. It was determined that the plant extract was effective against microorganisms at concentrations of 50-400 µg/mL. Additionally, the anti-AChE value was found to be 25.88±1.73 and the anti-BChE value was 45.32±2.26. Total phenolic content was determined as 86.42±2.72, and total flavonoid content was determined as 117.96±1.93. As a result, it was determined that D. graveolens has antioxidant, antimicrobial and anticholinesterase activity.

“…Then measurements were made at a wavelength of 760 nm (Shimadzu UV-1800 spectrophotometer, Japan). The quantification of the mushroom's total phenolic content was conducted by utilizing the calibration curve derived from the gallic acid standard solution, resulting in a measurement of mgGAE/g [18].…”

Mushrooms, regarded as a significant component of the ecosystem, are utilised by individuals for various purposes. The present study aimed to investigate the biological activities of Agrocybe praecox (Pers.) Fayod, commonly referred to as the Spring Fieldcap mushroom. The ethanol extract of the mushroom was obtained with the Soxhlet apparatus. Subsequently, the quantification of total antioxidant, total oxidant, and oxidative stress index of the mushroom extract was conducted utilizing Rel Assay kits. The total phenolic content was determined using the Folin-Ciocalteu reagent. The agar dilution method was employed to assess the antimicrobial activity of the mushroom extract. The antiproliferative activity of the compound was assessed using A549 lung cancer cells. Elemental levels of the fungus were measured using the wet digestion method. The findings of the study revealed that the levels of the elements fell within the range reported in the existing literature. In addition, it was determined that the total antioxidant value was 2.97±0.08, the total oxidant value was 7.63±0.16, the oxidative stress index was 0.26±0.01, and the total phenolic content was 49.7±3.0 mg/g. It was found to be effective against microorganisms at concentrations between 50-200 µg/mL. Furthermore, it was ascertained that this mushroom exhibited antiproliferative activity, with the degree of activity being contingent upon the concentration of the extract. Consequently, it was determined that Agrocybe praecox exhibits potential as an antioxidant, antimicrobial, and anticancer agent.

“…These bioactive compounds are not nutritional but have high medicinal properties [3,4]. Many studies have shown that plants have different properties such as nutritive, spice, cosmetic, warming [5,6]. In addition, it has been reported that many plant species around the world have different effects such as antimicrobial, anticancer, antiproliferative, antioxidant, DNA protective [7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14].…”

Complementary medicine history includes a lot of knowledge based on human history. In this context, different plant species are used in the treatment and prevention of diseases. Plants are important natural productsthat attract attention with their nutritive and non-nutritive compounds. They contain many bioactive compounds that are not particularly nutritious but very important from a medical point of view. In our study, the biological activities of Momordica charantia reported in the literature were compiled. In addition, mineral, nutrient and chemical contents reported in the literature were compiled. The fruits of M. charantia are known as bitter gourd. In different parts of the world, it is used for many purposes as salad, direct food product, dried and spiced. It is used locally for different purposes in different countries. It is used as a supplement or sweetener in many foods, especially in East Asian countries. In our study, in addition to the nutritional properties of the plant, its medicinal properties were emphasized. As a result of the research, it was determined that the plant has many biological activities such as antioxidant, antimicrobial, antiinflammatory, antihyperglycemic, antiulcer, DNA protective, cytotoxic, anthelmintic, antiepimastigote, antiviral, immunomodulative, radioprotective, hepatoprotective, antidiabetes, antitumor, antiproliferative, antistress, hypoglycaemic, antimutagenic, or antiaging. In addition, it stands out with its nutritional properties. It is thought that it may be a natural source for the compounds reported in the literature data. Based on these studies, it is thought that Momordica charantia may be an important natural agent.
