Evaluation of Anticholinergic, Antidiabetic and Antioxidant Activity of<i> Astragalus</i><i> dumanii,</i> an Endemic Plant

The research was conducted to separately evaluate and detect the possible in vitro antioxidant, antimicrobial activity of ethanol extracts prepared from aerial parts and roots of Astragalus dumanii and anti-cholinesterase and alpha-glucosidase inhibitory activity from only aerial parts of its The antioxidant capacity was tested by scavenging of DPPH and ABTS free radicals. Compared with the standard antioxidant compound gallic acid; Root and aerial part extract showed lower DPPH radical scavenging activity, however aerial part extract demonstrated higher ABTS radical scavenging activity. The phenolic contents were detected as 5.31 +/- 0.03 and 13.23 +/- 0.05 mg gallic acid equivalent g-1 extract, flavonoid contents were found as 8.26 +/- 0.004 and 7.93 +/- 0.005 mg Qercetin equivalent g-1 extract. In addition, the effects of the extracts obtained from aerial parts of the plant on acetylcholinesterase, butyrylcholinesterase and a-glycosidase enzymes were investigated in vitro and IC50 values were obtained as 1.47, 0.83 and 0.48 mu g mL-1, respectively. When these values were compared with standard substances, it was seen that Astragalus dumanii could be a good enzyme inhibitory agent. Antimicrobial activity of the plant extracts were determined using the microdilution method and the extracts was not observed to have any antimicrobial activities..
