Hedysarum candidissimum (HC), a species endemic to Türkiye, represents a potential source of bioactive phytochemicals with pharmacological applications. This study provides the first comprehensive investigation of the species, integrating organ-specific phytochemical profiling with biological activity evaluations. Methanolic extracts from leaf, stem, and root were analyzed for their phytochemical composition and biological activities. Liquid Chromatography–Tandem Mass Spectrometry analysis quantified 53 phenolic compounds and revealed organ-dependent differences in metabolite distribution. Quinic acid was the major phenolic acid, with the highest content in the stem (91.81 mg/g extract), while flavonoid glycosides such as isoquercitrin (90.72 mg/g extract) and astragalin (43.61 mg/g extract) were higher in leaves. Antioxidant activity was determined by DPPH, FRAP, TPC, and TFC assays. The leaf extract showed the strongest activity, with the lowest DPPH IC50 (5.43 ± 0.18 µg/mL), highest reducing power (192.47 ± 0.91 mg TE/g extract), and highest phenolic and flavonoid contents (220.84 ± 1.07 mg GAE/g extract and 107.26 ± 0.77 mg QE/g extract). Enzyme inhibition assays demonstrated strong activity against acetylcholinesterase, butyrylcholinesterase, and α-glucosidase (2.44 ± 0.11, 3.35 ± 0.37, and 3.40 ± 0.20 µg/mL). Antiproliferative activity showed moderate growth inhibition in lung (A549, Calu1, H1650) and breast (MCF-7, MDA-MB-231) cancer cell lines (GI50: 2.40–19.15 µg/mL), with higher sensitivity in breast cells. The stem extract exhibited the highest tumor selectivity index (1.83), while LDH assays indicated low toxicity. Multivariate analyses confirmed organ-specific metabolite patterns and relationships between phenolic composition and biological activities. These findings indicate that the species, particularly the leaf extract, represents a source of phenolic metabolites for further phytochemical and biological investigation.

Hedysarum erythroleucum is a plant species native to Türkiye and represents a potential source of bioactive compounds. This study investigated the phytochemical composition and biological activities of methanolic extracts prepared from the leaves, stems, and roots. LC-MS/MS analysis identified 53 phenolic compounds and revealed clear differences in metabolite distribution among plant organs. Quinic acid was the predominant phenolic acid, particularly in the leaf extract. Flavonoid glycosides such as isoquercitrin, astragalin, and rutin were also abundant in the aerial parts of the plant. The antioxidant potential of the extracts was evaluated using DPPH, FRAP, total phenolic content, and total flavonoid content assays. Among the tested plant parts, the leaf extract exhibited the strongest antioxidant activity, with the lowest DPPH IC50 value, the highest reducing power, and the highest total phenolic and flavonoid contents. These findings indicate that the leaves contain high levels of antioxidant compounds. Enzyme inhibition assays showed that the leaf extract exhibited the highest inhibitory activity against acetylcholinesterase, butyrylcholinesterase, and α-glycosidase. Its activity was comparable to that of the reference inhibitors under the experimental conditions. Antiproliferative activity was assessed against lung and breast cancer cell lines. All extracts inhibited cancer cell growth, with the highest sensitivity observed in H1650 and MDA-MB-231 cells. Tumor selectivity indices suggested moderate selectivity, especially for root extracts. LDH cytotoxicity analysis indicated limited membrane damage, suggesting that the extracts primarily exert cytostatic effects by suppressing cell proliferation rather than inducing extensive cell death. Multivariate analyses revealed organ-specific metabolite patterns and associations between phenolic composition and the measured biological activities. Overall, the findings indicate that H. erythroleucum, particularly the leaf extract, contains a high content of phenolic compounds and exhibits promising in vitro antioxidant, enzyme inhibitory, and antiproliferative activities. These findings provide a basis for future phytochemical investigations, mechanistic studies, compound isolation, and in vivo validation.

Elveren, Müjgan; Osma, Etem; Varol, Tuğçe; Yaman, Mehmet; Öztürk, Halil İbrahim
Background: In this study, 75 and 100 ppm tebuconazole was applied to pepper seedlings and stress was created. Applications containing Bacillus subtilis, copper and Bacillus subtilis-copper combination were made to reduce the effect of stress on plants. Results: In both tebuconazole doses, significant decreases were observed in plant height, stem diameter, leaf number, leaf area and dry and fresh weights of plants and roots (63%, 37%, 40%, 45%, 27% and 26% respectively). However, bacteria, copper, and combination applications significantly reduced these negative effects; especially, copper-bacteria combination at 75 ppm (K4) and bacteria-only application at 100 ppm (K6) were the most effective in reducing stress. Tebuconazole applications increased oxidative stress and significant increases were detected in catalase (CAT) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) enzyme activities. The highest CAT activity was recorded in the group treated with bacteria (K6) under 100 ppm stress, indicating that antioxidant defenses were strengthened. Photosynthetic pigments (chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b, total chlorophyll and carotenoids) were decreased by tebuconazole stress but were significantly preserved by bacterial and copper treatments. While EC (electrolyte conductivity) value increased due to stress, bacteria and copper applications had a positive effect by decreasing EC values. While tebuconazole stress disrupted the balance of some elements, mineral levels were rebalanced after ameliorative applications, and increases were determined in important elements such as Mn, Mg and B. According to the correlation analysis, significant positive correlations were determined between growth parameters, pigment contents and antioxidant enzyme activities. Conclusions: As a result, Bacillus subtilis and copper applications provided a decrease in toxicity due to stress and increased antioxidant enzyme activity. In addition, ameliorative applications provided protection in photosynthetic pigments and increased cell membrane integrity. These findings indicate that the use of beneficial bacteria such as Bacillus subtilis and micronutrients such as copper (Cu) at appropriate concentrations may be beneficial as sustainable solutions against fungicide stress.

This study presents the phytochemical and biological evaluation of the species Hedysarum yilmazunalii Kandemir, F. Yıldız & H.İ. Turkoğlu. Methanolic extracts from leaves, stems, and roots were characterized by LC-MS/MS, and their antioxidant, enzyme inhibitory, and antiproliferative activities were investigated. The analyses showed organ-specific differences in phenolic composition, with quinic acid as the major compound in leaves together with higher levels of flavonoid glycosides, including astragalin and isoquercitrin. Aerial extracts showed strong enzyme inhibitory activity. Leaf and stem extracts exhibited cholinesterase inhibition, with IC50 values of 5.82 and 6.42 µg/mL for AChE and 5.41 and 5.50 µg/mL for BChE, respectively. The leaf extract showed α-glucosidase inhibitory activity (4.10 µg/mL), comparable to acarbose, and antioxidant activity (DPPH: 6.46 µg/mL), together with the highest phenolic (145.43 mg GAE/g extract) and flavonoid contents (87.20 mg QE/g extract). Antiproliferative assays demonstrated growth inhibition of lung and breast cancer cell lines, with the lowest GI50 values of 1.00 µg/mL for H1650 and 2.34 µg/mL for MDA-MB-231 cells. LDH cytotoxicity remained low (2.25%–12.59%), indicating limited membrane damage in both cancer and normal cells. These findings identify H. yilmazunalii as a source of compounds with antioxidant, neuroprotective, antidiabetic, and anticancer potential.

By focusing on the antioxidant capacities and antibacterial activities of these species, the study aims to elucidate the effects of these ecosystems on the biosynthesis of plant secondary metabolites, primarily phenolic compounds and flavonoids, and their adaptive biochemical responses to unique environmental conditions. Antioxidant properties were assessed using DPPH, FRAP, TPC, and TFC assays. Results showed significant differences in antioxidant compound concentrations among plants from different habitats, with the highest levels in serpentine and gypsum regions. Artedia squamata L. from serpentine had the strongest DPPH activity (24.83 ± 1.25 µg/ml), Erysimum pulchellum had the highest TPC (89.44 ± 0.76 mg GAE/g), and Tanacetum heterotomum had the highest TFC (43.48 ± 2.08 mg QE/g) in gypsum. FRAP activity was highest in serpentine species, particularly Consolida olopetala (32.14 ± 1.84 mg TE/g). Furthermore, Antibacterial assays against eight ATTC strains revealed significant inhibitory effects by Stachys sparsipilosa, Tanacetum heterotomum, Teucrium leucophyllum, and Verbascum alyssifolium against Enterococcus faecium and Salmonella enteritidis with Teucrium leucophyllum showing the highest activity (MIC of 31.25 µg/ml against Salmonella enteritidis). The study highlights the influence of habitat on the biosynthesis of bioactive compounds, suggesting that plants from serpentine and gypsum soils have enhanced antioxidant and antimicrobial properties, making them potential candidates for natural therapeutic agents.

Koch., Hypericum thymbrifolium Boiss & Noé, Salvia indica L., Gladiolus halophilus Boiss. & Heldr.] were examined. The total phenolic contents (TPC), total flavonoid content (TFC), and the amount of antioxidant activity (DPPH, FRAP) were analyzed in different organs of the plants, including leaves, branches, and roots. According to the obtained data, when plant parts and habitats were taken into consideration, it was observed that the plant with the highest flavonoid content (29.71±0.57 mg QE g-1 extract) was S. indica growing in the serpentine area with its leaf parts. In terms of total phenolic content, it was determined that the root part of S. indica growing in the serpentine area had high values (91.53±2.48 mg GAE g-1 extract value). When evaluated in terms of the Iron (III) Ion Reducing Antioxidant Power (FRAP) method, it was observed that the highest value was the stem part of F. aciphylla growing in a serpentine area (100.35±1.60 mg TE g-1). In terms of DPPH radical capacity, the highest value belonged to the leaf part of Salvia indica (15.75±1.74 μg mL-1), which is also grown in the serpentine area. The results were evaluated utilizing the SPSS Statistical Program and differences were observed between habitats. A strong correlation was found between the phenolic and flavonoid contents of plants and their antioxidant activities. The findings showed that the phenolic, flavonoid content, and antioxidant activities of plants grown in different ecological conditions vary significantly.

Within the scope of the study, element concentrations were determined in plants with different flower colors (yellow, purple–blue–pink, white) and in the soils where they grow. Our goal was to assess whether there were differences in mineral element concentrations within plants from these different areas and whether those differences (if they existed) led to changes in plant morphology, specifically flower coloration. The flowers, leaves and root parts of the collected plants and the soils of the habitats where they grow were pre-treated in the laboratory. Mineral element concentrations in the prepared samples were determined by ICP-MS. Plant and soil data obtained were statistically evaluated, and the differences between the habitats were determined. It was observed that there were differences in terms of mineral elements in the generative and vegetative parts of the plant and these differences impacted flower color; these coloration differences in plants from other areas might be used to indicate the presence of potentially important minerals.
