An ethnobotanical survey of inner-west Anatolia, Turkey
Scopus
Toplam 143 atıf DOI
This study is focused on ethnobotanical usages of wild plants growing within the Afyonkarahisar province districts of Sinanpaia, Hocalar and Dazkiri. Ninety local informants in 11 villages were interviewed. A total of 129 different usages of wild plants in the study area were recorded. Out of 650 plant species commonly present, 93 plant taxa (14.3%) belonging to 43 families were used for medicinal (52 citations), foodstuff (37 citations), fodder (14 citations), dye (six citations), firewood (five citations), construction materials (four citations) and miscellaneous purposes (11 citations). At least 15% of the information regarding ethnobotanical uses of wild plants was obtained by showing herbarium voucher samples to the informants. It was noted that Sideritis leptoclada and Verbascum stenostachyum are endemic to Turkey and their endangered status has markedly increased in recent years because of increased collecting for ethnobotanical purposes. Informants indicate that members of the younger generation have a much reduced interest in ethnobotanical knowledge and that this is a danger to the continued use of local plants. © Springer Science+Business Media, LLC 2008.

Biological activities of three extracts from artedia squamata: A study on antioxidant and enzyme inhibitory potential
Scopus
Havuzumuzda 5 atıf almış
The present work focused on antioxidant and enzyme inhibitory potential of different solvent extracts (ethyl acetate, methanol and water) from Artedia squamata. Cholinesterase, tyrosinase, α-amylase and α-glucosidase inhibitory activities of the extracts were tested by microtitre plate assays. Antioxidant abilities were tested using free radical scavenging (DPPH and ABTS), reducing power (FRAP and CUPRAC), total antioxidant capacity and ferric ion chelating assays. The total phenolic contents of these extracts ranged from 26.24 to 35.16 mg GAEs/g extract. Methanol and water extracts showed higher phenolic content, DPPH and ABTS scavenging activity and reducing power activities, while ethyl acetate extract had highest chelating and inhibition abilities on AChE, α-amylase and α- glucosidase. With regard to tyrosinase inhibitory activity, water extract showed a good inhibitory activity with 11.91 mg KAEs/g. Present study showed that Artedia squamata can be considered as good source of natural agents for food and drug applications.
