Özet

The aim of this study was to investigate the antioxidant and

antiradical activity of the Rhabdosciadium anatolyi (R. anatolyi)

flowers, an endemic plant grown in the Eastern Anatolia Region of

Turkey, by determining the level of vitamins E and C, mineral (Ca,

Na, Mg, P, K), and trace elements (Mn, Zn, Cu, Fe, V, Cr, Mo, Co, Sr,

Pb, Ti, Tl, Sn, Cd, As). Within the scope of the study, mineral and

trace element analyzes were carried out by ICP-OES and AAS,

Vitamin E by HPLC, Vitamin C, total phenolic content, total

flavonoid, antioxidant capacity, hydrogen peroxide, DPPH, ABTS,

superoxide, hydroxyl and hemolysis of erythrocytes with

phenylhydrazine, radical scavenging activity of the R. anatolyi

flowers methanol extract were determined spectrophotometrically.

According to the results, α-tocopherol, ascorbic acid, phenolic

content, flavonoid content and total antioxidant activity of the R.

anatolyi flowers were 3,99 ± 0,35 μmol kg-1, 346.27 ± 6.51 mg 100 g-1,

21.94 ± 0.37 mg gallic acid g-1, 5.60 ± 0.13 mg quercetin g-1 ve 29.65 ±

0.26 mM ascorbic acid g-1, respectively. Consequently, the mineral,

trace element, vitamin E and vitamin C, total phenol and flavonoid

levels in the R. anatolyi flowers were high, and the R. anatolyi

flowers methanol extract effectively inhibited free radicals. From this

point of view, it is thought that it can be used in the preventive

treatment of many diseases that may be caused by free radical

species and that these data will be a reference for other studies.
