Malva sylvestris, Falcaria vulgaris Bernh and Chenopodium botrys L. are of the usually expended wild palatable plants as nourishment and therapeutic purposes by residents in Eastern Anatolia Region of Turkey. In this manner, the assurance of dietary esteem and minerals of eatable wild plants are basic for nourishment security and human health. Hence, in the present examination nutritional esteem and minerals of chose plant species were researched. Additionally, this study presents useful data (mineral constituents, total ash, dry matter, % N, crude protein, pH and crude fiber) to show the knowledge of the nutritional value of three wild plants traditionally consumed in many areas in Eastern Anatolia. According to the results obtained from laboratory analysis, Malva sylvestris is high in crude fiber (44.64%) compared with Falcaria vulgaris Bernh (18.34%) and Chenopodium botrys L. (36.04%). Crude protein content of Falcaria vulgaris and Chenopodium botrys L. were calculated as 21.69% and 12.25%, respectively, while that of Malva sylvestris was 8.57%. In terms of total ash content, it was observed that Chenopodium botrys L. has higher value (20.84%) than the others. The higher values of mineral elements were observed in Chenopodium botrys L. such as sodium (1.24g kg-1), potassium (28.22g kg-1), calcium (46.87g kg-1), phosphor (3.95g kg-1), magnesium (10.61 g kg-1), iron (580.53mg kg-1), manganese (79.54mg kg-1), while the higher values of Sulphur (1.91g kg-1), zinc (43.14mg g-1) and total ash (20.84%) rate were determined in Malva sylvestris species.

Microbial biofilm is a microbial assemblage which is formed by bacterial adhesion, growth and expansion, enclosed in a self-produced polymeric matrix that is adherent to an inert or living surface. Biofilms are group or microorganisms in which microbes produced extracellular polymeric substances (EPS), such as polysaccharides, proteins and extracellular microbial DNA. The biofilm can consist of one or more microbial (bacterial or fungal) species and formation of biofilm is a survival strategy for bacteria and fungi to adapt to their living environment, especially in the hostile environment. Bacterial biofilms are normally beyond the access of antibiotics and human immune system and antibiotic treatment is cu rrently most effective mea sure for the control of microbial infections. However, antibiotic treatments are almost impossible to remove biofilm infections as the pathogenic bacteria in biofilms are resistant to current therapeutic regimes due to their resistant phenotype. The efficient eradication of biofilm is major concern in healthcare sector, especially in living system where use of harsh chemicals and high temperature are unthinkable. However, milder reagents such as enzymes can be of great help as their actions are highly specific to target molecule and have capability to disrupt the structural integrity of the biofilm matrix. The degradation of extra polymeric substance exposes the pathogenic bacterial cells to antibiotics, which along with host immune response acts more efficiently to clear the infectious agents. The major enzymes used to degrade biofilm are alginate lyase, DNase I, -amylase, protease and dispersin B. The knowledge of chemical nature of the EPS in biofilm helps in deciding that requirement for the use of single enzyme or combination of various enzymes for efficient dispersion of microbial biofilms.

ÖZET GİRİŞ ve AMAÇ: Sumak (Rhus coriaria L., Anacardiaceae), Anadolu'da geleneksel olarak yenilebilir bitkidir. Sumak, pek çok biyoaktif fitokimyasal ihtiva etmesinden dolayı, alternatif tedavi yaklaşımlarında tercih edilmesine rağmen; literatür araştırmaları sumak özütlerinin antikanser ve antiproliferatif aktivitelerini analiz etmek amacıyla sınırlı sayıda çalışmalar yapıldığını göstermiştir. YÖNTEM ve GEREÇLER: Bu nedenle, sumak bitkisinin tıbbi ve geleneksel kullanımlarına katkıda bulunmak amacıyla, R. coriaria L. meyvelerinden elde edilen özütlerin kanseri önleyici potansiyellerinin araştırılması amaçlanmıştır. Bu bağlamda, A549, H1299 ve H460 insan akciğer kanseri hücre hatlarına karşı antikanser ve antiproliferatif potansiyeller, lizozomal ve laktat dehidrojenaz inhibitör etkileri belirlenmiştir. BULGULAR: Sonuçlar, sumak ekstraktlarının zamana ve doza bağımlı olarak güçlü antikanser ve sitotoksik aktivite gösterdiğini ortaya koymuştur. Sumak özütleri arasında, sulu ve metanolik ekstrelerin, test edilen tüm insan akciğer kanseri hücrelerine karşı 5,08 -6,49 µg / mL IC50 değer aralığıyla yüksek derecede sitotoksik olduğu bulunmuştur. Kanser hücre hatlarında, hücre büyümesinin ve hücre canlılığının sumak özütleri tarafından engellendiği gözlenmiştir. Ayrıca, hücre hatlarının uzun süre ve artan dozlarda özütlere maruz kalması, hücrelerde lizozomal fonksiyonları ve membran geçirgenliğini artırmıştır. TARTIŞMA ve SONUÇ: Sonuç olarak, çalışma bulguları sumak bitkisinin gıda ve baharat olarak kullanımının yanı sıra; alternatif bitkisel terapötik ajan olarak kanser tedavisinde kullanılma potansiyelini ortaya koymuştur. ABSTRACT INTRODUCTION:Sumac (Rhus coriaria L., Anacardiaceae) is traditionally used edible-plant in the Anatolia. Although, it has been preferred in alternative therapeutic approaches due to the presence of many bioactive phytochemicals, the literature survey demonstrated limited works have been undertaken for analyzing the anticancer and antiproliferative activities of the extracts. METHODS: Therefore, the current research was aimed to evaluate totally anticancer potentials of extracts from R. coriaria L. fruits for contribution to medicinal and traditional uses of sumac. In this respect, anticancer and antiproliferative potentials, lysosomal and lactate dehydrogenase inhibitory effects were determined against A549, H1299 and H460 human lung cancer cell lines. RESULTS:The results revealed almost all the extracts of sumac exhibited powerful anticancer and cytotoxic activities in a time and dose dependent manner. Among the extracts, aqueous and methanolic extracts were found to be highly cytotoxic with IC50 values in range of 5,08 -6,49 µg/mL against all tested human lung cancer cells. It was observed that cell growth and cell viability in cancer cell lines were inhibited by the extracts. Additionally, increasing extracts exposure time and dose resulted in increasing the lysosomal functions and membrane permeability in the cell lines. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION: Consequently, these findings suggest th...
