Abstract :This study was conducted to determine the antioxidant and antimicrobial activities of methanol extract obtained from flower, leaf and root sections of endemic Adonis paryadrica insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Boiss.); Kandemir & Aytaç stat. nova. naturally growing in the Turkish flora. The most efficient total phenolic compounds and flavonoid contents were obtained from leaf extract at 21.24 mg GAEs insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(gallic acid equivalent);/g dw and 54.97 mg REs insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(rutin equivalent);/g dw, respectively. Among the three different sections of this plant, leaf extracts showed the highest Cupric Reducing Antioxidant Power insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(CUPRAC); effect with 80.28 µmol TEs insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(trolox equivalent);/g dw. From the three different sections, the methanol extract of the leaf parts demonstrated strong antibacterial activity against Bacillus subtilis with a 16.1 mm zone diameter. These valuable and current findings from these precious plants, which constitute natural resources in terms of biodiversity, contribute innovative information to the literature on endemic plant species.
