Chemical analysis and biological activity of the essential oils and extracts of two liverwort species growing in Turkey

The aim of this study was to investigate the chemical composition essential oils (EOs) from two Diplophyllum species and evaluate their bioactivity potential [antimicrobial, antioxidant, anti-urease, anti-xanthine oxidase (XO)], phenolic compounds. analysis albicans taxifolium permitted identification 62 components, comprising ? 99.6% total EO composition. major components found in these liverwort were ?-patchoulene, ?-santalene, ?-himachalene, cubebol. antimicrobial assays showed that solvent extracts (n-hexane methanol) exhibited weak moderate activity. In addition, methanol also high antioxidant potential. enzyme inhibitory effects determined using urease XO for extracts. Generally, D. powerful inhibition with IC50 values 9.711 ?} 0.058 6.304 0.099 ?g/mL, respectively, compared value 26.124 0.077 ?g/mL standard (acetohydroxamic acid). Moreover, HPLC-UV detection method analysed contained only catechin benzoic acid. These findings suggest possess inhibition, thus indicating explore new bioactive molecules.
