“…Different parts of T. nilotica are used; the leaves and young branches are cooked for oedema of spleen and mixed with ginger for uterus infections, while the bark, when boiled in water with vinegar is used as lotion against lice. The bark used to treat eyes sore from a scratch or blow, also it is used for hemorrhoid [20,21]. The wood yields a locally made charcoal, also used as a fuel, said to be good firewood; the timber is sometimes used for inferior carpentry.…”

Artemisia herba-alba Asso., Asteraceae, is widely used in Morrocan folk medicine for the treatment of different health disorders. However, no scientific or medical studies were carried out to assess the cytotoxicity of A. herba-alba essential oil against cancer cell lines. In this study, eighteen volatile compounds were identified by GC-MS analysis of the essential oil obtained from the plant's aerial parts. The main volatile constituent in A. herba-alba was found to be a monoterpene, Verbenol, contributing to about 22% of the total volatile components. The essential oil showed significant antiproliferative activity against the acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (CEM) cell line, with 3 µg/mL as IC50 value. The anticancer bioactivity of Moroccan A. herba-alba essential oil is described here for the first time.

“…[23][24][25][26][27] Artemisia herba-alba Asso is a plant that is used extensively in folk medicine in the Mediterranean region. 1,2,[28][29][30][31][32][33] Despite reported biological, pharmacological, and toxicological activities of Artemisia herba-alba, there has been no published work on the effects of extracts or components of this plant on cancer cells. In this study we investigated, for the first time, the antioxidant and anti-colon-cancer activities of AHE Asso.…”

Antiproliferative activities of Artemisia herba-alba ethanolic extract in human colon cancer cell line (HCT116)

et al. 2011

Artemisia herba-alba (AHE) is a plant commonly used in traditional medicine for the treatment of various ailments. Here, we investigated the antioxidant and antitumor activity of the aqueous and ethanol extracts of AHE in human colon cancer HCT116 cells. The antioxidant activity was measured by DCFH assay, while antitumor effects were assessed by cell viability assays, cell cycle progression by flow cytometry, and DNA fragmentation analysis in addition to investigating the expression of key cell cycle and apoptotic proteins. While the aqueous extract had no antineoplastic effects, the ethanol extract significantly decreased HCT116 viability (IC50 of 51mg/mL at 24 h) and inhibited the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Treatment of HCT116 cells with the ethanol extract also caused dramatic increase in the PreG1 population with concomitant decrease in cycling cells, provoked DNA fragmentation, significant increase in the expression levels of p53 and Bax proteins and activated pro-apoptotic caspase-3. The results obtained suggest that the ethanol extract of AHE could be used as an easily accessible source of natural antioxidants and as potential phytochemicals against colon cancer.
