This study investigated the chemical composition and biological effects of extracts from the species, commonly used in traditional medicine. Using ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography, chemical characterization was performed, and in vitro antioxidant activity was evaluated. In vivo tests using zebrafish revealed that one extract had significant anxiolytic and antidepressant effects, while another had significant antioxidant activity. These results suggest the potential of these extracts for treating various medical conditions, and provide insight into their active ingredients.
