Abstract
Turgenia latifolia (L.) Hoffm. (Apiaceae) is an annual, herbaceous weed that naturally growing in Türkiye. It is known as “karaheci, pitrak, broad-leaved pitrak, pitrak thistle, water pitrak” in local population. Knowing that there are few studies on this plant and its usage in folk medicine is quite limited.
In the present study crude extracts were prepared from the fruits, roots and the aerial parts of the plant collected from its natural habitat. The essential oil was obtained by microdistillation method and its full composition was determined by gas chromatography (GC-FID) and gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GC/MS) simultaneously. 57, 52 and 42 different compounds were determined, representing 96.3%, 99.7% and 99.3% of the oils of aerial parts, fruits and roots respectively.
Total phenolic content, antioxidant (DPPH• and ABTS•+), lipoxygenase (LOX) inhibitory, anticandidal and antibacterial activities of the extracts were also studied. Furthermore, mode of action of the herbal extract on Candida albicans and C. tropicalis was demonstrated by transmission electron microscopy analysis.

Turgenia latifolia (L.) Hoffm.’nın (Apiaceae) fitokimyasal analizi ve biyolojik etkileri
Özet
Turgenia latifolia (L.) Hoffm. (Apiaceae) tek yıllık, otsu bir yabancı ot olup Türkiye’de doğal olarak yayılış göstermektedir. Halk arasında “karaheci, pıtrak, geniş yapraklı pıtrak, pıtrak dikeni, su pıtrağı” isimleriyle bilinir. Halk arasında oldukça sınırlı kullanımı olan ve hakkında neredeyse hiç araştırma olmayan bu bitki, doğal olarak yetiştiği bölgeden toplanarak herba, meyve ve kök kısımlarından total ekstreler hazırlanmıştır. Bitkinin uçucu yağı mikrodistilasyon yöntemi ile elde edilerek, kompozisyonu gaz kromatografisi (GK-AID) ve gaz kromatografisi kütle spektrometresi (GK/KS) kullanılarak belirlenmiştir. Herba, meyve ve kök yağlarının sırasıyla %96,3, %99,7 ve %99,3’ünü temsil eden 57, 52 ve 42 farklı bileşik tespit edilmiştir. Total fenolik madde miktarı, antioksidan aktivite (DPPH• ve ABTS•+), lipooksijenaz (LOX) inhibisyonu, antikandidal ve antibakteriyal aktivite testleri gerçekleştirilmiştir. Ayrıca, herba ekstresinin Candida albicans ve C. tropicalis türleri üzerinde geçirimli elektron mikroskobu ile antikandidal etki mekanizması ortaya konmuştur.
