In vitro Bioactive and Phytochemical Properties of Malva neglecta Wallr. (Mallow)

Abstract

M. neglecta is a perennial herbaceous plant and belongs to the Malvaceae family. This plant grows spontaneously on any soil and its fresh shoots and leaves are consumed as vegetables. In this study, the antiradical, antimicrobial, anticancer and phytochemical contents of water, ethanol and methanol extracts of the aerial parts of M. neglecta were investigated. According to the results obtained, it was understood that the aerial parts of M. neglecta have high antiradical, antimicrobial, anticancer activity and phytochemical content.

Malva neglecta Wallr. (Ebegümeci)’nın In vitro Biyoaktif ve Fitokimyasal Özellikleri

Abstract

M. neglecta çok yıllık otsu bir bitkidir ve Malvaceae familyasında yer almaktadır. Bu bitki ülkemizde her türlü toprakta kendiliğinden yetişir ve taze sürgünleri ile yaprakları sebze olarak tüketilir. Bu çalışmada M. neglecta toprak üstü kısımlarının su, etanol ve metanol ekstraktlarının antiradikal, antimikrobiyal, antikanser ve fitokimyasal içerikleri incelenmiştir. Elde edilen sonuçlara göre, M. neglecta toprak üstü kısımlarının yüksek antiradikal, antimikrobiyal, antikanser aktiviteye ve fitokimyasal içeriğe sahip olduğu anlaşılmıştır.
