Shedding light on the biological and chemical fingerprints of three Achillea species (A. biebersteinii, A. millefolium and A. teretifolia).

摘要: Representatives of the Achillea genus are widely used as foods or nutraceuticals. Considering increasing demand for herbal dietary supplements with health promoting effects, objective this research was to evaluate biological and chemical profiles different extracts (ethyl acetate, methanol water) obtained from three species (A. biebersteinii, A. millefolium teretifolia). The antioxidant (free radical scavenging (DPPH ABTS), reducing power (CUPRAC FRAP), metal chelating phosphomolybdenum), enzyme inhibitory (anti-cholinesterase, anti-tyrosinase, anti-amylase anti-glucosidase) antimicrobial (antibacterial antifungal) effects were assessed investigate their profiles. Moreover, total phenolic flavonoid contents determined LC-MS analysis performed profile investigated extracts. revealed presence several caffeoylquinic acids in these Generally, water exhibited stronger abilities, which correlated higher levels compounds when compared ethyl acetate In addition, best activities methanolic However, extract had remarkable potential. On basis our results, may be promoted promising sources natural agents development nutraceuticals functional food ingredients.
