Chemical Profile and Evaluation of the Antioxidant, Anti-Enzymatic, and Antibacterial Activity of <i>Astragalus strictispinus</i> and <i>Astragalus macrocephalus</i> subsp. <i>finitimus</i>.

ABSTRACT: Astragalus species are characterized by rich active compounds, mainly polysaccharides, saponins, and polyphenols, with various important bioactivities, such as antioxidant, antitumor, anti-diabetes, antiviral, etc. In this study, the chemical profiles of ethanol, ethyl acetate, and dichloromethane extracts from different parts (leaves, flowers, and roots) of two endemic Astragalus species growing in Türkiye, i.e., A. strictispinus and A. macrocephalus subsp. finitimus were determined, along with their antioxidant, anti-enzymatic, and antibacterial properties. According to the results, naringenin and apigenin were identified as two common phenolic compounds of both Astragalus species, while only ethanol extracts of the roots and leaves and ethyl ace
