<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;"> <strong>Background:</strong> In recent years, plants natural products have gained considerable attention as natural preservers for use in different industries. Due to their free radical scavenging activities, phenolic compounds can prevent a wide range of diseases such as cancers and cardiovascular and neurodegenerative diseases. For a long time, different <em>Ferulago</em> species have been in use as medicinal plants worldwide.<br>
<strong>Objective: </strong>The aim of this research was to investigate total phenolics and the antioxidant and antibacterial activities of essential oil and different extracts from <em>F. angulata</em> growing wild in Iran.<br>
<strong>Methods: </strong>Antioxidant activity of our samples was examined by DPPH assay and their phenolic content was determined using the Folin – Ciocalteau method. Moreover, their inhibitory effects against five gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria including <em>Shigella boidii</em>,<em> Pseudomonas aeruginosa</em>,<em> Escherichia coli</em>,<em> Staphylococcus aureus and Enterococcus faecalis</em> were tested by using the disk diffusion method.<br>
<strong>Results:</strong> Ethyl acetate fraction and methanol extract contained the highest levels of phenolic compounds (229.2 and 202.9 µg/mg galic acid) in this study. Also, essential oil of this plant exhibited low free radical scavenging activity (IC<sub>50</sub>= 36129.43µg/ml). On the other hand, ethyl acetate and aqueous fractions had the highest antioxidant activity (IC<sub>50</sub> values of 20.153 and 28.28 µg/ml, respectively). Finally, studied samples had no significant antibacterial activities against tested organisms.<br>
<strong>Conclusion: </strong>The essential oil of this plant can be used as a flavoring agent while extracts prepared from it have the potential to be used as natural antioxidants in relevant industries.</div>
