Unveiling the Chemical Profile of Teucrium chamaedrys subsp. gracile (Batt.) Rech.F. dried Aerial Parts From Algeria.

In this paper, the first phytochemical analysis on Teucrium chamaedrys subsp. gracile was reported. The dried aerial parts collected in Algeria were studied, and the analysis was conducted using different techniques: gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) for the fatty acid content, headspace solid-phase microextraction-GC-MS for the volatile composition, column chromatography along with nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, and MS for non-volatile pattern characterization.

The essential oil chemical composition of (Bornm.) Širj. plants growing wild in Algeria.

The genus Miller, belonging to the Fabaceae family, has wide distribution ranging from Europe to Mongolia and Himalaya, Arabian Peninsula, Ethiopia, with eastern Mediterranean area and western Asia considered as the centres of diversity. Plants from this genus have been used for centuries around the world, as forage for ruminant animals, both for grazing and as hay. The use of some species in traditional medicine has been also documented.

Chemical Composition, Antioxidant, Antimicrobial, Antidiabetic, and Butyrylcholinesterase Inhibitory Activities in Vitro of the Essential Oil and Crude Extracts of the Aerial Parts of Thymus ciliatus.

This study explores the potential of Thymus ciliatus as a natural source of bioactive compounds by investigating its chemical composition and in vitro biological activities, including antioxidant, antimicrobial, antidiabetic, and anti-Alzheimer properties. The analysis of the essential oil was performed using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry revealing α-terpinenyl acetate (18.74%) and camphor (10.

Headspace solid phase microextraction combined with GC-MS for the analysis of volatile compounds of (Kit.) Griseb. from Algeria.

This study represents the first investigation of the volatile composition of (Convolvulaceae) collected in Algeria, using headspace solid-phase microextraction and gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (HS-SPME-GC/MS). This technique allowed the identification of 44 compounds, constituting 96.9% of the total components.

Chemical Profiling by High-Performance Liquid Chromatography With Diode Array Detection and Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry Analysis and Antimicrobial Potential of Achillea santolina Plant Extracts against Extended-Spectrum Beta-Lactamase-producing Escherichia coli and Fungal Pathogens.

The study examines the chemical composition and antimicrobial properties of petroleum ether and hydro-methanolic extracts of Achillea santolina from Algeria. Chemical profiling was performed using high-performance liquid chromatography with diode array detection for the hydro-methanolic extract and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry for the petroleum ether extract. Antibacterial and antifungal activities were evaluated using the disc diffusion method and broth dilution technique.

Assessing Algerian L.'s phenolic compounds, antioxidant and enzyme inhibitory properties to find a new natural remedy for Alzheimer's, diabetes and skin diseases.

This research explored the impact of methanolic extracts from the fruits and leaves of L., a rare Algerian species, on several enzymes, focusing on tyrosinase, α-amylase, α-glucosidase, and cholinesterases, as well as their antioxidant potential assays, including phosphomolybdenum, DPPH, ABTS, CUPRAC, FRAP, and MCA. HPLC-DAD analysis identified chlorogenic acid, rosmarinic acid, hesperidin, and quercetin as predominant phenolic components.

The chemical composition of the aerial parts' essential oil of (L.f.) Chaz. growing wild in Algeria.

The genus (Plumbaginaceae) includes several species of perennial herbs and shrubs belonging to a particular type of halophytes, known as 'recretohalophytes'. species are widely distributed in the Mediterranean region, mainly in the North-Eastern and Southern countries and several bioactivities have been well documented. In the present study, the chemical composition of the essential oil (EO) of the aerial parts of (L.

GC-MS analysis of essential oil from the leaves of Algerian Desf.

Desf. (Apiaceae) is a plant endemic to North Africa, including Algeria. It is used as natural medicine, due to its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and hepatoprotective properties.

The chemical composition of the essential oils of two Mediterranean species of Convolvulaceae: subsp. collected in Sicily (Italy) and collected in Algeria.

Chemical composition and anticancer activity of the essential oil from Ten., quite rare plant in Kabylia (Algeria).

The search for new bioactive substances with anticancer activity and the understanding of their mechanisms of action are high priorities in the research effort toward more effective cancer treatments. In this article, we analyzed, for the first time, the chemical composition of the essential oil (EO) hydrodistilled from the aerial parts of Ten. (Leguminosae) by GC-MS.

Phytochemical investigation of and evaluation of the antioxidant activity.

Low concentrations of Ambrosia maritima L. phenolic extract protect endothelial cells from oxidative cell death induced by HO and sera from Crohn's disease patients.

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: A rising resort to herbal therapies in Crohn's disease (CD) alternative treatments has been recently observed due to their remarkable natural efficiency. In this context, the weed plant Ambrosia maritima L., traditionally known as Hachich el Aouinet in Algeria and as Damsissa in Egypt and Sudan, is widely used in North African folk medicine to treat infections, inflammatory diseases, gastrointestinal and urinary tract disturbances, rheumatic pain, respiratory problems, diabetes, hypertension and cancer.

Essential oil composition and biological activities of Poir (Fabaceae).

The phytochemical and biological properties of Poir L. (Fabaceae) were investigated for the first time in this study. The chemical composition of the essential oil obtained from the aerial parts was analysed by GC-MS.

Ethnoveterinary remedies used in the Algerian steppe: Exploring the relationship with traditional human herbal medicine.

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: Ethnoveterinary medicine is vastly under-documented, especially in North Africa, where livestock care is increasingly medicalised. Despite evidence of the interdependence of ethnoveterinary practices and ethnomedicine for human care, the overlap between these two systems and the possible drivers of similarity are rarely addressed in ethnopharmacological literature. Here, we present the first quantitative comparison of remedies used to treat human and animal health among a pastoral society.

Historical and contemporary factors generate unique butterfly communities on islands.

The mechanisms shaping island biotas are not yet well understood mostly because of a lack of studies comparing eco-evolutionary fingerprints over entire taxonomic groups. Here, we linked community structure (richness, frequency and nestedness) and genetic differentiation (based on mitochondrial DNA) in order to compare insular butterfly communities occurring over a key intercontinental area in the Mediterranean (Italy-Sicily-Maghreb). We found that community characteristics and genetic structure were influenced by a combination of contemporary and historical factors, and among the latter, connection during the Pleistocene had an important impact.
