    TLDR The bulb and shoot of Allium longisepalum contain various compounds with potential health benefits, including antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.
    The study analyzed bioactive compounds in the bulb and shoot of Allium longisepalum Bertol. from Iran, using various solvents for extraction. The highest yield percentages were found in butanol. Palmitic and oleic acid were present in all fractions, while heptadecene-(8)-carboxylic acid, stearic acid, and myristic acid were detected in at least three fractions. Each fraction contained unique metabolites. Hexane, dichloromethane, and chloroform fractions contained metabolites with potential antioxidant, allelopathic, antibacterial, and anti-inflammatory effects. Ethyl acetate and butanol fractions revealed compounds with potential anticarcinogenic, anti-inflammatory, hair growth-enhancing, and antimicrobial properties, including compounds not previously identified in plants. The study highlights the chemical diversity and therapeutic potential of A. longisepalum.
