Article Synopsis
  • Plant species C. majus was extracted using three different solvents—ethyl acetate, methanol, and water—to obtain bioactive compounds, with methanol proving to be the most effective.
  • The methanol extract showed a high content of phenolic compounds, leading to strong antioxidant activity and effective inhibition of cholinesterase and tyrosinase enzymes.
  • Both methanol and ethyl acetate extracts exhibited significant cytotoxic effects against cancer cells while being non-toxic to normal cell lines, indicating their potential use in food and pharmaceutical applications.

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: This study has identified not only the wild plants collected for medical purposes by local people of Elazığ Province in the Eastern Anatolia Region, but also the uses and local names of these plants. These resources are usually regarded as part of a culture׳s traditional knowledge. Therefore, the aim of this study is to collect information from local population concerning the use of medicinal plants of the Elazığ region; identify the most important medicinal plants used; determine the relative importance of the species surveyed and calculate the informant consensus factor (FIC) in relation to medicinal plant use.
