In vitro Antiradical, Antimicrobial and Antiproliferative Activities and Phytochemical Compositions of Endemic Alcea calvertii (Boiss) Boiss. Flowers
Abstract
Alcea calvertii (Boiss) Boiss. is belonged to Malvaceae family, and it is a perennial herbaceous endemic plant. Alcea genus plants are grown as ornamental plants in the gardens. In the present study, the antiproliferative, antimicrobial, antiradical activities and phytochemical compositions of ethanol, water, methanol and acetone extracts of A. calvertii flowers were examined. A. calvertii flowers water, ethanol, methanol and acetone extracts are lower scavenged DPPH, ABTS and OH radicals than standard antioxidant trolox. A. calvertii flowers contain vitamins, sterols, flavonoids and phenolic acids, dominated by vanillic acid, gallic acid, catechin, δ-tocopherol, ergosterol and vitamin D. A. calvertii flowers water extract showed better antiproliferative activities than other extracts against to MCF-7 and HCT-116 cell lines. A. calvertii flowers methanol extract showed higher antiproliferative effect against to LNCaP cell lines.
