Özet

This study aims to determine the biological activity of Allium calocephalum Wendelbo collected from the Gara Mountain (Iraq). As part of this, the plant was extracted with methanol (MeOH) and dichloromethane (DCM). DPPH free-radical scavenging activity, total antioxidant status (TAS), total oxidant status (TOS) and oxidative stress index (OSI), DNA protecting activity, antiproliferative activity, antimicrobial activity and phenolic contents of the extracts were determined as part of the assessment of the biological activity. At the end of several studies, it was concluded that A. calocephalum has strong biological activity. Furthermore, Gallic acid, Catechin, Syringic acid, Chlorogenic acid, Caffeic acid, Rosmarinic acid and Sinapic acid with various ppm values were found in the plant as a result of the HPLC analyses. As a result, it was determined that the edible plant A. calocephalum could be an important natural resource in pharmacological terms.
