Abstract

In this study, biological activities and phenolic contents of endemic Ferulago platycarpa Boiss. & Bal. were determined. Within the scope of biological activity, antimicrobial activity, antioxidant and oxidant status of plant extracts were determined. Phenolic contents were determined by using HPLC. Antimicrobial activity was determined against bacteria and fungus strains using the modified agar method. Antioxidant and oxidant status were calculated with Rel Assay kits. Gallic, chlorogenic, cinnamic, syringic acids, epicatechin, catechin and quercetin were found in the plant. It was also determined that the plant has antioxidant and antimicrobial potential. But, because of higher TOS value, it was considered that the plants, which were collected from region suitable for OSI value, could be a natural antioxidant source.
