Abstract
Objective: Natural ingredients derived from plants (especially edible ones) continue to be investigated for understanding whether they have therapeutic/preventive effects on certain ailments, such as cancer and gastrointestinal disorders. The main goal of the current work is to investigate the inhibitory potential of Eremurus spectabilis M. Bieb. extracts on histone deacetylase (HDAC), xanthine oxidase (XO) and urease activities. Material and Method: Fresh E. spectabilis leaves were obtained from a local market in Eyup/Istanbul. Inhibitory activities of ethanolic and ethyl acetate extracts on HDAC, XO and urease were examined. Results: According to our findings, ethanolic and ethyl acetate extracts of E. spectabili both have revealed apparent inhibitory effects against all examined enzymes. Ethanolic extract showed a better inhibitory effect on HDAC than ethyl acetate extract. On the other hand, the inhibitory effects of ethyl acetate extract against both XO and urease were higher than the ethanolic extract. Conclusion: Consequently, due to the inhibitory effects of the plant being studied, it might be suggested that it can be used for medicinal purposes, in raw extract form, or as a source of bioactive compounds.
