Phytochemical Analysis and Biological Activities of <i>Wollemia nobilis</i> W.G.Jones, K.D.Hill & J.M.Allen Leaves Collected in the Botanical Garden of Rome.

ABSTRACT: In this work, a preliminary screening of the bioactivities of an ethanolic extract obtained from the leaves of Wollemia nobilis W.G.Jones, K.D.Hill & J.M.Allen was carried out to explore its potential pharmaceutical applications. In particular, the radical scavenging, chelating, reducing antiglycative, antimicrobial and antifungal activities as well as the inhibitory effects on the production of aflatoxin B1 in Aspergillus flavus Link were evaluated. The extract demonstrated promising biological activities, although generally with lower potency compared to the positive control. To identify the metabolites potentially responsible for these effects, the extract was subjected to phytochemical analysis evidencing the presence of eight known compounds. Among them, 15-agathic acid
