Phytochemical profiling and bioactivity of Rhaponticoides mykalea: α-glucosidase inhibition, apoptosis-associated cytotoxicity, and in silico molecular insights.
BACKGROUND Rhaponticoides mykalea is an endemic species with limited data on its phytochemistry and biological activity. The aqueous ethanol extract (700 mL L-1, v/v) of the aerial parts and its n-hexane, ethyl acetate (RPEtAc), n-butanol, and water fractions were evaluated for enzyme inhibition, antioxidant activity,...
