This study was accomplished at Faculty of Science, Aleppo University. Phytochemical detection showed the presence of alkaloids, anthocyanins, tannins and steroidal triterpenes in the extracts of bald <em>Centaurea ptosimopappa<\/em> Hayek. While tannins, steroidal triterpenes, cardiac glycosides and flavonoids were detected in the extracts of furry group. Antimicrobial activities of these extracts were determined by Agar well diffusion method. The extracts of furry <em>Centaurea ptosimopappa<\/em> Hayek were clearly more active than bald <em>Centaurea ptosimopappa<\/em> Hayek. For instance, when we used 80 \u00b5l of the chloroform extract of furry plants the diameter of the inhibition zone was more than 20 mm for <em>Staphylococcus<\/em> <em>aureus<\/em>, but only 13 mm was noticed when 80 \u00b5l of the chloroform extract was used of bald plants.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Keywords<\/strong>: Phytochemical detection, Antimicrobial activity, Plant extracts, <em>Centaurea ptosimopappa<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Full paper in Arabic: <a href=\"http:\/\/agri-research-journal.net\/sjar\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/v6n3p24.pdf\">PDF<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Abdel Aleem Bello(1) and Tawfik Al-Boshi*(2) (1).
