“…Qualitative phytochemical screening of different extracts of C. angustifolia by Ahmed et al (2016) revealed the presence of alkaloids, steroids, flavonoids, saponins, terpenes, phenols, tannins, coumarins, terpenes, glycosides and anthraquinones which contribute to the antioxidant, antimicrobial and anticancer activities. Douhri et al (2017) demonstrated that the antimicrobial activity may be attributed to tannin and polyphenolic compounds level in plants. This may lead to the damaging effect of these components on cell wall, proteins and DNA synthesis.…”

Genotoxicity and antimicrobial activity of the leaf extract of Myrtus communis, Ziziphus spina-christi and Cassia angustifolia plants were evaluated. The prophage induction assay was used to test the genotoxicity. The results showed that, no fold increase in Pfu/ml over the spontaneous release for F116 and R3 phages, so these results indicated that Myrtus communis, Ziziphus spina-christi and Cassia angustifolia leaves extract did not have genotoxic effect, so they can be used as antimutagen. On the other hand, Myrtus communis and Ziziphus spina-christi showed strong antimicrobial activity against all tested microbes. The antimicrobial effect increased by the increase of the concentration. While Cassia angustifolia leaves extract showed moderate antimicrobial activity against some strains. The results of antimicrobial activity suggest that these plant extracts have cytotoxic effect.

“…However, this plant was found characterized by production of two highly toxic metabolites (atractyloside and carboxyatra ctyloside) responsible for frequent and fatal poisoning 59 . The leaves' extract of Origanum elongatum showed also the most effective against the Escherichia coli 60 . The other plants, that are rarely cited by the herbalists in the studied region (FI <10%), are recognized as well in several studies as antibacterial agents against nosocomial microorganisms.…”

The irrational and repetitive use of synthetic chemical disinfectants can contribute to the emergence of resistant strains and represent a risk to health and the environment. The aim of this ethnobotanical survey, a first innovative study, is exploring for plants with disinfecting power. An ethnobotanical study was conducted among herbalists in Fez and Meknes cities located in the center of Morocco. Information covered includes the vernacular and scientific name of plants, used part, mode of preparation, and administration. A total of 13 species belonging to 8 families has been described. Lamiaceae and Asteraceae (23%) were the most representative with three species every one, followed by the Myrtaceae (14%) with two species. The other families (Cupressaceae, Caryophyllaceae, Rosaceae, Rutaceae, and Brassicaceae), were represented with the same percentage (8%), a specie for each family. The most recommended species are Lavandula spp. (61%), Origanum elongatum (33%), Arteminisia herba-alba (23%), Rosmarinus officinalis (17%), Eucalyptus spp (17%), Atractylis gummifera L. (16%), Citrus limon (8%), Anastatica hierochuntica (6 %), Myrtus communis L. and Rosa damascena (% for each), Artemisia absinthium and Corrigiola telephiifolia (2% for each) Tetraclinis articulata (3%). Leaves and flowers establish the most used parts. The incense was the most quoted mode of preparation. The disinfection by air contact was the recommended mode. This work would be of great interest to solve the problem of resistant strains and to develop effective biological disinfectants that respect the environment. INTRODUCTION: The hospital environment is a place to risk; air and surfaces may be contaminated by different microorganisms from patients 1 .

“…Pharmacological reports showed that extracts and essential oils (EOs) of O. elongatum exhibited various biological activities such as antibacterial [3,4,6,[9][10][11], antifungal [3,12], antiparasitic [5,[13][14][15][16], antiviral [6], antioxidant [1], vasodilator [10,17], corrosion inhibitor [18], and hepatoprotective effects [19]. ese biological effects are certainly due to the chemical composition of O. elongatum, in particular the main compounds such as carvacrol, linalool, and thymol.…”

Origanum elongatum L. is an endemic aromatic and medicinal plant. This work reports previous studies on O. elongatum concerning its taxonomy, botanical description, geographical distribution, bioactive compounds, toxicology, and biological effects. Chemical analyses showed that O. elongatum contains different chemical compounds, in particular volatile compounds. Pharmacological investigations showed that volatile compounds and extracts from O. elongatum exhibit different pharmacological properties, such as antibacterial, antifungal, antiviral, antioxidant, vasodilator, corrosion inhibitor, and hepatoprotective effects. Moreover, toxicological reports revealed the safety of this species. The pharmacological effects of O. elongatum could be correlated with the main compounds, which exhibit different pharmacological properties with numerous mechanism insights.
