Medicinal and aromatic plants such as Crocus cancellatus, Scilla Siberica subsp. armena, Juniperus oxycedrus subsp. oxycedrus and Anthriscus nemorosa have many different biological activities. While antioxidants are significant in preventing many diseases, inhibition of metabolic enzymes is also effective in preventing many diseases. In this study, antioxidant activities of water, ethanol, and dichloromethane extracts of four different medicinal and aromatic plant species were determined by 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH•) and 2,20-azino-bis-3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulphonic acid (ABTS•+) radical scavenging and Cu2+, Fe+3, and Fe3+-2,4,6-tris(2-pyridyl)-S-triazine (TPTZ) reducing assays. Enzyme inhibition studies were performed with metabolic enzymes acetylcholinesterase, butyrylcholinesterase, carbonic anhydrase I and II isoenzymes. The ethanol extract of A. nemorosa showed the highest activity in DPPH and ABTS assays (IC50: 17.36 µg mL-1, IC50: 7.02 µg mL-1). In the Fe3+ reducing assay, the dichloromethane extract of A. nemorosa showed the highest activity (1.96±0.060 µg mL-1). In the Cu2+ reducing assay, the dichloromethane extract of J. oxycedrus showed the highest activity (1.773±0.066 µg mL-1). In the Fe3+-TPTZ reducing assay, the ethanol extract of S. siberica showed the highest activity (1.256±0.011 µg mL-1). In the enzyme inhibition results, it was determined that all plants and all extracts inhibited the enzymes studied. As a result of this study, it was determined that these four medicinal and aromatic plants have high biological activities.

Micromeria myrtifolia Boiss. & Hohen. is a valuable medicinal plant in Türkiye, recognized for its extensive applications across the country. In this study, plant samples were collected from Muğla, Türkiye and extracts from both the aerial parts and roots were prepared using ethanol. To elucidate their phytochemical composition, a comprehensive LC-MS/MS analysis was conducted. The results revealed that both extracts were quite rich in phenolic compounds. Notably, nicotiflorin was the major constituent in both extracts (12878.31355.44 μg/g extract in the aerial parts and 47512.41311.34 μg/g extract in the roots) along with significant phenolic acids such as rosmarinic acid and caffeic acid as well as flavonoids like hesperidin. Moreover, both extracts demonstrated substantial antioxidant activities compared to the synthetic antioxidant compounds as evaluated by DPPH free radical scavenging, ABTS cation radical scavenging, and CUPRAC activity assays. Both aerial parts and root extracts also exhibited meaningful anti-glucosidase activity with 73.030.16% and 47.060.41%, respectively, at 2 mg/mL concentration. The root extract also showed moderate butyrylcholinesterase inhibitory activity. This study contributes to the existing body of knowledge with valuable insights regarding the phytochemical profile and biological activities of M. myrtifolia, paving the way for future research aimed at exploring its medicinal properties and potential uses in traditional and modern medicine.
