“…[7] Several reports have revealed the chemical composition of essential oils from some Citrus sp. [8][9][10] Previous reports from our laboratory have shown the chemical composition, anticholinesterase, and antioxidant activities of essential oils from orange and lemon peels. [11,12] However, we observed that there is dearth of information on the antidiabetic and antihypertensive activities of essential oils from orange and lemon peels.…”

This study was designed to evaluate and compare the interactions of essential oils from orange (Citrus sinensis [L.] Osbeck) and lemon (Citrus limon) peels on enzymes linked to type-2 diabetes (α-amylase and α-glucosidase) and hypertension (angiotensin-I-converting enzyme [ACE]). The essential oils were obtained from the peels by hydrodistillation and were passed over anhydrous sodium sulphate. The interaction of the oil on αamylase, α-glucosidase, and ACE activities was subsequently determined. The results revealed that the essential oils inhibited α-amylase and αglucosidase activities. However, lemon peel (IC 50 = 8.16 µg/mL and 7.56 µg/mL) essential oil exhibited stronger inhibitory activity on α-amylase and α-glucosidase activities compared to orange peels (IC 50 = 11.51 µg/mL and 11.53 µg/mL), respectively. Similarly, both essential oils reduced the activity of ACE. Moreover, lemon peel (IC 50 = 26.17 µg/mL) essential oil showed higher inhibitory effect compared to orange peel (IC 50 = 31.79 µg/mL). Our findings revealed that essential oils from lemon and orange peels are potential antidiabetic and antihypertensive agents. Moreover, essential oil from lemon peels was more potent than orange peels. ARTICLE HISTORY

“…Artemisia herba-alba is used to treat inflammatory disorders (colds, coughing, bronchitis, and diarrhoea) and infectious diseases (skin diseases, scabies, and syphilis), and has other biological activities. [6][7][8][9][10][11] Artemisia judaica L. ('shih balady' in Arabic), considered a herbal medicine in Egypt, is characterized by the presence of comparatively high percentages of piperitone and camphor. 12 Anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antimicrobial, anti-helicobacter, anti-helmintic, anti-pyretic, and analgesic properties have been reported for EOs derived from A. judaica.…”

The chemical composition of essential oils (EOs) distilled from three wild Artemisia species, Artemisia herba‐alba, Artemisia judaica, and Artemisia monosperma, collected from Egypt, and Saudi Arabia, were analysed by gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC‐MS). The antibacterial activities of the EOs for all species were determined using the Agar disc diffusion method. The yield of the EOs ranged from 0.16 to 0.49%. The results showed that A. monosperma plants growing in Saudi Arabia gave the highest yield, compared with A. herba‐alba, A. judaica, and A. monosperma collected from Egypt. In total, 92 volatile compounds were identified from the aerial parts of the plants using GC‐MS. Oxygenated monoterpenes were the major class in A. herba‐alba (75.31%) and A. judaica (83.07%), whereas monoterpene hydrocarbons were the major representative group in A. monosperma collected from both Saudi Arabia (34.23%) and Egypt (36.23%). Yomogi alcohol (22.4%), artemesia alcohol (9.91%), and 1,8‐cineole (9.68%) were the major components of the EO of A. herba‐alba, whereas camphor (31.4%), piperitone (29.9%), and endo‐borneol (5.72%) were characterized as the main compounds in A. judaica. β‐Vinylnaphthalene (24.89%), β‐eudesmol (15.41%), and β‐pinene (20.67%) represented the main components of the EO of Saudi Arabian A. monosperma, but β‐pinene (11.89%), (–)‐spathulenol (8.84%), p‐cymene (8.83%), and shyobunone (7.05%) were the major components of the EO of Egyptian A. monosperma. Herein, a comparative analysis between the EOs of Egyptian Artemisia and those collected from Saudi Arabia was performed with principal components analysis (PCA) and agglomerative hierarchical clustering (AHC). The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values ranged from 0.5 to2.5 μL per disc against different microorganisms. Artemisia judaica and A. monosperma (Saudi Arabia) plants had the highest MICs and A. monosperma (Egypt) had the lowest MIC, which may indicate different compositions as a result of climatic variation.

“…In addition, C. amblyocarpa contained some other compounds, including vitamin C, gallic acid, gallotannins and iridoid, that have many properties, namely antifungal [48]. In A. judaica, certain antifungal active compounds were identified, including camphor, piperitone, and ethyl cinnamate [49], while 3-hydroxy-(5-beta)-androst-2-en-17-one, 4-(1,1-dimethyl)-1,2-benzenediol, and desoxy-dihydro-isostevilo were reported to be the active compounds of B. undulate [16]. Limonene, 2,4-di-tetr-butyl, and p-cymene were the most important antifungal compounds of T. polium [14].…”

A review of the most effective medicinal plants for dermatophytosis in traditional medicine

et al. 2018

Fungi can evade the immune system via different processes, including recombination, mitosis, and expression of genes involved in oxidative stress responses. These processes can lead to chronic fungal diseases. Despite the growth of health care facilities, the incidence rate of fungal infections is still considerably high. Dermatophytes represent the main cause of cutaneous diseases. Dermatophytes attack keratinized tissues, such as nail, hair, and stratum corneum, due of their gravitation towards keratin, which leads to dermatophytosis. Medicinal plants have long been used to treat different diseases, and in the recent years, use of plant-based products to fight fungal, bacterial, and parasitic infections have attracted extensive attention. This is because the use of medicinal plants has many advantages, such as decreased costs and fewer side effects. This review article was conducted to report medicinal plants with anti-dermatophytosis properties. Seventy-six articles were retrieved from databases Google Scholar, PubMed, ScienceDirect, and Scopus. After exclusion of duplicate and irrelevant articles, 54 articles were selected. Of the remaining articles, 23 articles were screened and included in this study. According to the findings, Azadirachta indica,
