The study aims to investigate the antioxidant activities, phenolic compounds, acetylcholinesterase enzyme inhibition and cytotoxic effects of two different Artemisia spp. (Artemisia dracunculus L. and Artemisia dracunculoides Pursh) cultivated in Türkiye organically, for the first time. The total phenolic and total flavonoid contents of the plants were determined spectrophotometrically while antioxidant activity DPPH•, CUPRAC, and FRAP was determined using the colorimetric method. And also, acetylcholinesterase in vitro enzyme inhibition activity and anti-cancer activity against human melanoma (VMM917, CRL-3232), lung carcinoma (A549, CCL-185), and normal human fibroblast (hGF, PCS-201-018) cells were studied. Total phenolic (225-324 μg GAE/mL extract) and total flavonoid contents (0.066-0.085 μg QE/mL extract), antioxidant activity Color Scavenging Concentration 50% (DPPH• (CSC50: 1.371-1.655 mg/mL), CUPRAC (0.246-0.344 μM CTEAC) and FRAP (462.133-726.661 μM CTEAC)). A. dracunculus and A. dracunculoides extracts inhibited 40.09 ± 0.65%, and 39.48 ± 3.68% of acetylcholinesterase activity. It was determined that demonstrated the selective effect of A. dracunculus and A. dracunculoides on the cytotoxicity of A549 and hGF cells. According to our results, both tarragon plant species, it may be said that it is not only consumed as food but also used for therapeutic purposes will be beneficial for health.
