The current report concerns with phytochemical and biological analysis of the organic extracts with different polarities, e.g., methanol, ethanol, ethyl acetate and acetone from some organs of Etlingera velutina (Ridl.) R. M. Sm (leaves, rhizomes and stems). This study revealed remarkable antioxidant potentialities of the prepared extracts using DPPH and β-carotene bleaching (BCB) assays as well as notable antibacterial features using disc diffusion and minimum inhibitory concentration methods. More importantly, the antiproliferative of methanolic extracts of the plant parts was evaluated against human prostate adenocarcinoma cell line using MTT assay.

In this report, the volatile profiles from the flowers, leaves, stems and roots of Allium tripedale Trautv. have been characterized using headspace solid phase microextraction (HS-SPME) coupled to gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC/MS). Accordingly, high quantities of non-terpene hydrocarbons have been identified as the major constituting groups of all the relevant chemical profiles. The impact of the experimental variables has also been optimized using Design-Expert software. In addition, antioxidant and antibacterial properties of the methanol extract of the plant material have been determined. The results of this study revealed that this plant can be considered a potent antioxidant and antibacterial agent, serving as an alternative to chemical drugs.
