Phytochemical Profiling, Antioxidant Activity, and In Vitro Cytotoxic Potential of Mangrove <i>Avicennia marina</i>.

ABSTRACT: Background:Avicennia marina (Forsk.) Vierh., a widely distributed mangrove species, is known for its diverse secondary metabolites with potential pharmacological applications. Despite its dominance in the Arabian Gulf, where A. marina may have adapted to extreme environmental conditions with a distinct set of bioactive molecules, research in this region remains limited. Methods: This study investigates the phytochemical composition, antioxidant activity, and in vitro cytotoxicity of extracts from different plant parts, including roots, leaves, propagules, pericarps, and cotyledons, collected in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Extracts were analyzed using ultra-pressure liquid chromatography coupled with high-resolution mass spectrometry (UPLC-HRMS). Antioxidant
