The leaves of C. mas were collected from the wilderness in Susurluk, Balıkesir
province of Turkey in June 2010. The plant material was authenticated by Prof.
Dr. Erdem Yesilada, one of the authors before any process. A voucher specimen
was deposited in the Herbarium of Faculty of Pharmacy, Yeditepe University (YEF
10005). The leaves were dried under shade and later powdered.
