Comprehensive Investigation of Phytochemical Constituents and Biological Activities of Scabiosa pseudograminifolia Hub.-Mor.

This study presents the first phytochemical and biological investigation of <i>S. pseudograminifolia</i> Hub.-Mor., an endemic species from Türkiye. Essential oil analysis revealed hexadecanoic acid and linalool as major constituents, while nonadecanoic and hexadecanoic acids were predominant among the fatty acids. The methanol extract showed strong antioxidant activity, and chlorogenic acid was identified as a key phenolic compound. These findings support the potential of this species as a valuable source of natural antioxidants.
