This study presents the first report on phenolic composition and bioactivity of ethanolic extracts of three plant species that grow in the western Balkan mountains and are used in traditional folk medicine: , , and . Phenolics were extracted from different aerial plant parts using 80% ethanol to assess the possibility of sustainable use of these plants as a source of bioactive compounds without disruption to the roots (for ) or destruction of whole habitats (for and ). The ethanolic extract of flower contained noticeable levels of apigenin and quercetin. The branches and bark of were significantly rich in catechin, while rutin was the major phenolic found in the leaf extract of . Furthermore, the flower extract of revealed the best antioxidant activity, which was comparable to 4-hydroxybenzoic acid and quercetin. Considering antimicrobial activity, the leaf extracts of and demonstrated potent activity against all microbes tested, while the extracts of were moderately effective. The presented results emphasize the potential of these plants as novel sources of bioactive compounds.
[植物名称1]、[植物名称2]和[植物名称3]。使用80%乙醇从植物不同地上部分提取酚类物质，以评估在不破坏根部（对于[植物名称1]）或整个栖息地（对于[植物名称2]和[植物名称3]）的情况下，可持续利用这些植物作为生物活性化合物来源的可能性。[植物名称1]花的乙醇提取物含有显著水平的芹菜素和槲皮素。[植物名称2]的树枝和树皮富含儿茶素，而芦丁是[植物名称3]叶提取物中主要的酚类物质。此外，[植物名称1]的花提取物表现出最佳的抗氧化活性，与4 - 羟基苯甲酸和槲皮素相当。考虑到抗菌活性，[植物名称2]和[植物名称3]的叶提取物对所有测试微生物均表现出强效活性，而[植物名称1]的提取物效果中等。所呈现的结果强调了这些植物作为生物活性化合物新来源的潜力。
