Implication

Comparative in vitro study reveals distinct antioxidant and enzyme-inhibiting activities across three Achillea species, highlighting their utility for dietary supplement development.

Key Points

To evaluate the chemical profiles and assess the antioxidant, enzyme inhibitory, and antimicrobial properties of various extracts from three Achillea species.
Prepared ethyl acetate, methanol, and water extracts from Achillea biebersteinii, Achillea millefolium, and Achillea teretifolia.
Profiled chemical constituents via liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) alongside total phenolic and flavonoid content assays.
Evaluated biological activities using multiple antioxidant assays (DPPH, ABTS, CUPRAC, FRAP, phosphomolybdenum, metal chelation), enzyme inhibition tests (cholinesterase, tyrosinase, amylase, glucosidase), and antimicrobial screening.
LC-MS identified several caffeoylquinic acids across species, with methanol and water extracts showing the highest phenolic concentrations and the strongest antioxidant capabilities.
Ethyl acetate extracts demonstrated the highest inhibitory potency against key metabolic enzymes, including cholinesterase, tyrosinase, amylase, and glucosidase.
Ethyl acetate and methanolic extracts exhibited the strongest antibacterial and antifungal activities among the solvent preparations tested.
