    Phlomis pungens var. hirta Velen has been used by local people for food and to treat diseases but there are limited number of investigations in literature about this plant and cyto/genotoxicity analyses have not been done before. Hence, this study aimed to find out cell-protective activity and DNA damage prevention ability of P. pungens var. hirta by MTS, micronucleus, 8-OHdG and somatic mutation recombination tests (SMART). In addition, liquid chromatography, antioxidant/antibacterial activity analyses and in silico biological activity profiling were performed. The healthy lymphocyte cell growth was supported by the plant extracts and none of the extracts was genotoxic. 8-OHdG test showed that methanolic and ethanolic extracts of the plant were able to decrease the oxidative DNA damage. According to the SMART results, extracts could suppress the genotoxic effects of an important environmental pollutant, H2O2. Rutin hydrate and quercetin were found in highest concentrations and the extracts could be characterized as antioxidant/antibacterial. In silico analysis also showed that the major compounds of this plant can be considered as chemoprotective. This is the first study that assessed the cell protective activity and DNA damage prevention capacity of P. pungens var. hirta, which should be regarded as a potential source for nutritional supplements and therapeutic products.

    BACKGROUND: Plants have important chemical compounds to protect organisms from many mutagens but they may also have dangerous toxic substances that must be tested before use. Lallemantia iberica has been used by local people for treatment of some diseases but it was never tested for its cell protective and antimutagenic/antirecombinogenic properties. In this study, it was aimed to determine the cytoprotective, antimutagenic/antirecombinogenic, antibacterial, antioxidant and phenolic profile of L. iberica by MTS assay, micronucleus test/somatic mutation recombination test (SMART), disc diffusion method, ABTS/DPPH tests and liquid chromatography (LC), respectively. RESULTS: MTS assay results showed that both of the extracts supported the normal growth of healthy human lymphocytes and there was no significant difference between extracts. Although there was no significant increase in micronucleus concentration (‰) of the cultures treated with ethanol or methanol extracts, methanol extract caused slightly lower micronucleus concentration (12.64 ± 3.65‰) than the ethanol extract (24.46 ± 4.50‰). SMART results showed that ethanol and methanol extracts prevented harmful mitotic recombination. Lallemantia iberica also showed antibacterial activity against all of the strains tested, and the largest inhibition zones were observed with Pseudomonas aeruginosa (17.9 mm) and Enterobacter aerogenes (13.8 mm). Methanol extracts showed better antioxidant activities (ABTS IC50: 104.07 μg mL−1, DPPH IC50: 58.8 μg mL−1) than ethanol extracts (ABTS IC50: 344.03 μg mL−1, DPPH IC50: 233.7 μg mL−1). According to the LC results, the most abundant phenolic compounds were rutin hydrate (1796.4 ± 62.9 mg kg−1) and p-coumaric acid (228.1 ± 7.60 mg kg−1). CONCLUSION: Lallemantia iberica extracts had cell-protective, antimutagenic/antirecombinogenic, antibacterial and strong antioxidant characteristics in relation to their rich phenolic content.
