The study investigated the anticholinesterase and antioxidant activities of extracts and fractions from different parts of Ferula longipedunculata. It was found that the root extract showed significant inhibition against cholinesterase and had remarkable antioxidant properties. Further research on the roots is essential for better utilization of Ferula longipedunculata in pharmaceutical and food applications.
The paper reports anticholinesterase and antioxidant activities of extracts, fractions from aerial parts, roots, flowers, fruits of Ferula longipedunculata Pesmen (Apiaceae). Phenolic content, antioxidant activities of samples were carried out using Folin-Ciocalteu, DPPH, TBA methods. Anticholinesterase activity was actualised through Ellman's method. The utmost and least total phenolic content were detected in root MeOH extract (36.4 mg GAE g(-1) DW) and aerial part (23.74 mg GAE g(-1) DW), respectively. Hexane fraction of root exhibited significant inhibition against AChE (37.99%) and BuChE (81.66%) at 20 mu g/mL as well as remarkable antioxidant and anticholinesterase activities. However, investigations on roots will be substantial for improved usage of F. longipedunculata for pharmaceutical and food search needs.
