Metabolomic profiling of the crude extracts of the three Cycas plants leaves; Cycas armstrongii Miq., Cycas circinalis L., and Cycas revoluta Thunb. showed the presence of diverse secondary metabolites. A detailed phytochemical study of C. armstrongii fractions led to isolation of 15 known components of different classes, but this is the first time to report them for this species. ﻿These components were chemically identified as (naringenin, dihydroamentoflavone, 2,3-dihydrohinokiflavone, amentoflavone, 2,3-dihydrobilobetin, isoginkgetin, prunin, naringin, vanillic acid, p-coumaric acid, β-sitosterol, stigmasterol, β-sitosterol glucoside, 3,7,9,11-tetramethyl heptadecanoic acid, and N-(3ʹ-one-5ʹ-methyl)-hexyl-alanine). Moreover, the radioprotective potential of the three Cycas plant species was also investigated, and the ionizing radiation was performed by the exposure of rats whole-body to 8 Gy. The extracts of the three Cycas species were administered at a dose of 200 mg/kg each using an intra-gastric tube. Results indicated that Cycas spp. extracts significantly ameliorated radiation-induced brain and pancreatic damage as well as showing protection against radiation-induced oxidative stress. The results were also proved by histopathological study
