Abstract
We stadied some biologically active compounds radical scavenging capacities and antimicrobial activities in Hypericum uniglandulosum extracts It was found that palmitic acid 1216 ± 069 oleic acid 345 ± 017 and αlinolenic acid 1715 ± 084 were the dominant fatty acids in the extracts It was concluded that the extracts contained stigmasterol 5260 ± 057 μg/g αtocopherol 292 ± 054 μg/g cholesterol 6616 ± 078 μg/g and as well as βsitosterol 28933 ± 496 μg/g It was also determined that the methanol extracts were the most effective against free radicals The results of the present study show the potent antimicrobial activity of H uniglandulosum constituents suggesting that they deserve further consideration as novel antibacterial agents
