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. Saturated fatty acids were found to be prevalent, with palmitic acid as the major compound. In the volatile fraction, β-caryophyllene and humulene, comprised in the class of sesquiterpenes, were the major components. Indeed, five non-volatile compounds were observed, namely teucrioside (1), cirsiliol (2), harpagide (3), and chlorogenic acid (4). The employed analytical techniques have proven to be suitable for producing reliable and reproducible results in the description of the phytochemical profile of the matrix.

This study provides the cluster and factor analyses of 40 species of Teucrium, which is a plant and belongs to the Lamiaceae family with more than 260 species distributing all around the world under their 21 micromorphology characters are performed. In establishing the optimal a number of clusters in the K-means algorithm, we use a popular clustering index called silhouette index. By combining factor analysis with the clustering methods based on the silhouette validation measure, we have developed an efficient algorithm for clustering large multivariate datasets using Mathematica software, which is well-known for its algebraic manipulation capabilities.

Medicinal plants are valuable sources of bioactive compounds. In this study, we analyzed the levels of essential metals (Fe, Cu, Zn, Mn) in the leaves of Punica granatum, Teucrium montanum, Chaerophyllum coloratum, Petteria ramentacea, and Menyanthes trifoliata using atomic absorption spectrophotometry. Ethanolic leaf extracts were assessed for anti-inflammatory activity via bovine serum albumin BSA and egg albumin (EgA) denaturation assays and for antioxidant potential by hydroxyl radical scavenging using EPR (Electron Paramagnetic Resonance) spectroscopy.

Recently, essential oils (EOs) have garnered attention for their biological properties as a source of natural compounds with anticancer and antioxidant effects. Artemisia herba alba grows commonly on the dry steppes of the Mediterranean regions in Northern Africa, Western Asia, and Southwestern Europe. This species is native to Palestine and the western region of Jordan, known as Sheeh.
