“…Previous studies prove that herbs with antiurolithatic effects like Bergenia ciliata (Saxifragaceae) (Byahatti et al, 2013), Pinus elderica (Pinaceae) (Hosseinzadeh et al, 2010) and Aerva lanata (Amaranthaceae) (Saravanasingh et al, 2016) also have antioxidant, anti-bacterial and antiinflammatory effects (Ahmed et al, 2016;Altundag and Ozturk, 2011;Konczak et al, 2014). Based on these data on the plant we hypothesized that Alcea calvertii might have an antioxidant effect.…”

“…On the other hand, the ethnobotanical studies show that different parts of Alcea calvertii are used for its anti-inflammatory effect especially for cold, and for skin disorders, kidney stones, urinary system, pulmonary and stomach disorders. Alcea calvertii has been used mainly by the total herb, the aerial parts or the roots decoction (Ahmed et al, 2016;Altundag and Ozturk, 2011;Azab, 2016;Sargin, 2021), by the infusion of aerial parts, the total herb, the flowers and leaves (Altundag and Ozturk, 2011;Azab, 2016;Dalar et al, 2018;Sargin, 2021) or directly as a powder (Dalar et al, 2018). Additionally, it was shown that Alcea calvertii and other 9 of the Alcea genus in the Malvaceae family were frequently used because of their anti-urolithatic activity (Azab, 2016;Bozyel and Mert, 2018;Doğan and Tozlacı, 2015;Mossaddegh et al, 2012).…”

Herbs are widely used in the treatment of diseases as colds, infections, and cancer. In this work, we evaluate Alcea calvertii, which is a perennial herbaceous plant belonging to the Malvaceae family. It spreads in Anatolia and Mediterranean region and has important uses in terms of ethnobotany. In this study, it was aimed to evaluate the cytotoxic potentials and to investigate the antioxidant activities of methanol, water, chloroform, and ethyl acetate extracts of the aerial parts of Alcea calvertii. For that, the antioxidant activity of Alcea calvertii was determined by four different methods [total phenolic content (TPC), ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP), copper reducing antioxidant capacity (CUPRAC) and 2,2-diphenylpicrylhydrazil (DPPH) radical scavenging activity. The cytotoxicity potential of extracts was assessed in the human lung cancer cell line (A549) by MTT assay. It was observed that the highest antioxidant activity was in the methanol extract and the antioxidant activity increased with increasing extract concentration; The TPC values were between 62.5 -414.6 GAE µg mL -1 , the FRAP values were between 115.7 -1321.4 µM Trolox equivalent g -1 , CUPRAC values were between 177.1 -1321.4 µM Trolox equivalent g -1 , and IC50 values in DPPH determination were between 0.0089 -3.5370 mg mL -1 . The extracts caused cytotoxicity in a concentration dependent manner, the IC50 values were calculated to be between 36.8 -62.64 µg mL -1 . It is concluded that Alcea calvertii could be an important herb in developing new drugs.
