Antioxidant, cytotoxic, anti-migratory, and pro-apoptotic effects of Bolanthus turcicus extracts on head and neck cancer cells.

Purpose: Investigation of various plant extracts using in-vitro/in-vivo assays has emerged as a promising avenue for identifying potential pharmacophores that can be developed into therapeutic drugs. This study aims to assess the bioactive compounds and antioxidant capacity of the Bolanthus turcicus (B. turcicus) and to investigate the effects on head and neck cancer (HNC) cell lines.

Chemical compounds isolated from aerial parts of , a new species from Türkiye.

identified in 2019 for the first time is an endemic species of genus belonging to Caryophyllaceae family. Ten compounds were isolated from aerial parts of the plant. The potential antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects of all four phases (hexane, chloroform, ethyl acetate, and water) from the methanol extract of the plant were investigated.
