Özet
Plants exhibit significant biological activity and are widely used in the pharmaceutical and food industries due to their bioactive compounds. Medicago lupulina is a plant species belonging to the Fabaceae family. In this study, dried flowers of M. lupulina were extracted with methanol. The total phenolic content and DPPH˙ radical scavenging activity of the obtained extract were determined using a potentiometric biosensor method. In addition, the phenolic content of the extract was determined by LC‐ESI‐MS/MS. The inhibitory properties of the main components against cyclooxygenase‐2 (COX2) were theoretically investigated using molecular docking. Moreover, the pharmacokinetic properties of the main molecules were determined by SwissADME. The methanol extract exhibited a DPPH radical scavenging activity of 39.43% and contained 117.2 mg GAE g−1 extract of total phenolics at 500 ppm. In the LC‐ESI …
