Phytochemical and metabolic profiling of the different Podocarpus species in Egypt: Potential antimicrobial and antiproliferative activities.

ABSTRACT: Podocarpus is the most dominant genus of Podocarpaceae, with higher taxonomical proximity to the Taxaceae, having numerous pharmaceutical applications, however, scarce studies dealing with the physiological and metabolic criteria of Podocarpus in Egypt were reported. Thus, the objective of this work was to assess the physiological and metabolical patterns of the different species of Podocarpus; P. gracilior, P. elongates, P. macrophyllus and P. neriifolius. The highest terpenoids contents were reported in P. neriifolius, followed by P. elongatus, and P. macrophyllus. P. gracilior had the highest antioxidants amount, followed by P. macrophyllus, P. neriifolius and P. elongatus. From the GC/MS metabolic profiling, c
