Comparative studies on anti-inflammatory and antidiabetic effects of some Achillea species from the Turkish flora

Year 2025, Volume: 29 Issue: 4, 1601 - 1607, 05.07.2025

Abstract

This study aimed to determine antioxidant, antidiabetic and anti-inflammatory activities of methanol
extracts of Achillea crithmifolia Waldst. & Kit. (AC), A. millefolium L. (AM), A. nobilis subsp. neilreichii (A.Kern.) Velen.
(AN), A. setacea Waldst. & Kit. (AS) and A. wilhelmsii K. Koch (AW) species which grow naturally in Türkiye.
DPPH/ABTS radicals scavenging, α-glucosidase inhibition and anti 5-lipoxygenase methods were used to determine
for antioxidant, antidiabetic and anti-inflammatory activities, respectively. The total phenol content of the extracts was
calculated using Folin-Ciocalteau solution and the highest phenol content was found in AC methanol extract (ACM)
(56.71 mg GAE/g). In DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging activity assays, ACM showed the highest antioxidant activity
according to IC50 values (54.85 and 79.77 μg/mL, respectively). According to the results of α-glucosidase inhibitory
activity test, AN methanol extract (ANM) with an IC50 value of 245.50 μg/mL showed a better activity than acarbose
(261.7 μg/mL) by inhibiting the enzyme. As a result of anti-inflammatory activity, it was observed that ACM had the
highest activity (90.30 μg/mL). Therefore, ACM, which has the best antioxidant, anti 5-lipoxygenase activity and the
second best value close to the standard in terms of α-glucosidase inhibitory activity, was fractionated with 3 different
solvents (hexane-ACH, chloroform-ACC and ethyl acetate-ACEA). Biological activity studies were repeated on these
fractions. The ACH fraction showed the best anti-inflammatory activity while the ACEA fraction showed the best
antidiabetic activity. The biological activities of five Achillea species were not examined before by comparing with each
other. In addition, antidiabetic and anti-inflammatory activity studies on A. crithmifolia were conducted for the first
time.
