is a plant with high bioactive potential. The rich bioactive compounds of medicinal horehound, as well as their antioxidant activity have led to its wider application in the pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and food industries. The present work aimed to determine the phenolic compounds, total phenols, flavonoids, and antioxidant activity at vegetative and reproductive growth stages of . The experiments were performed in Eram Garden with five replications and using SPSS software (v. 13) and Mann-Whitney -Test at ≤ 0.01. The total content of flavonoids and main phenolic compounds increased when plants collected at vegetative stage. On the other hand, the highest vanillin content was observed in full flowering stage. Overall, this study can provide useful information about the best harvest period for horehound to produce the desired compounds for use in the food, pharmaceutical, and plant industries.
是一种具有高生物活性潜力的植物。药用款冬丰富的生物活性化合物及其抗氧化活性，使其在制药、化妆品和食品工业中的应用更加广泛。本研究旨在确定在营养生长和生殖生长阶段的酚类化合物、总酚、类黄酮和抗氧化活性。实验在埃拉姆花园进行，重复 5 次，使用 SPSS 软件（v. 13）和曼-惠特尼检验（Mann-Whitney -Test），置信水平为 ≤ 0.01。在营养生长阶段采集的植物中，总类黄酮和主要酚类化合物的含量增加。另一方面，在盛花期观察到香草醛的含量最高。总的来说，这项研究可以为款冬的最佳收获期提供有用的信息，以生产食品、制药和植物工业所需的化合物。
