Abstract

Plants are widespread throughout the world in large areas. This spread also increases the interest in plants. From prehistory to the 21st century, plants have always maintained their popularity with their various uses. Among the reasons why plants have been preferred in the field of medicine recently, this popularity and the increase in the use of synthetics are the main reasons. These conditions have led to an increase in the demand for the plant. In our study, the pharmacological effect of the Nuphar lutea (L.) Sm. plant sample was investigated. In this context, antimicrobial and antioxidant contents were examined. Methanol (MeOH) and ethanol (EtOH) extracts of underwater and above-water leaf parts of N. lutea were obtained. Rel Assay kits were used for antioxidant (TAS) and oxidant (TOS) values. Agar dilution technique was used for antimicrobial analysis. In our study, the TAS value of the N. lutea sample was found as 2.987±0.071, the TOS value as 12.955±0.360 and the OSI value as 0.434±0.007. In the antimicrobial activity study, EtOH extract was effective at 100-400 µg/mL concentration against bacterial strains and at 100 µg/mL concentration against fungal strains. In addition, it was determined that the MeOH extract was effective at 200-800 µg/mL concentration against bacterial strains and 100 µg/mL against fungal strains. As a result of the studies, it was determined that the N. lutea plant could be used as both an antimicrobial and an antioxidant agent.
