Smyrnium connatum Boiss. and Kotschy. Metanol Ekstresinin Biyolojik Aktivitesi

Smyrnium connatum Boiss. and Kotschy is known as “yabani kereviz” in Turkey its roots are used to treat asthma. species by people different regions diuretic, depurative laxative. The aim of this analysis was test the biological activities methanol extracts obtained from aerial parts S. using a Soxhlet extractor, ultrasonic assisted extraction, maceration procedures. were tested for their acetylcholinesterase, butrylcholinesterase, tyrosinase inhibitory activities, radical scavenging activity, iron chelating at various concentration microplate reader. In study, significant differences found butrylcholinesterase inhibition antioxidant determinations between plant prepared extraction methods. generally detected be more active terms activity assay. showed high against both cholinesterase enzymes. All moderate tyrosinase. than connatum. It assumed that determination enzyme inhibitor capacity had remarkable potentials on treatment neurodegenerative diseases.
