The Asteraceae family is well known for its toxic and repellent activity against mosquitoes. In this study, essential oils (EOs) extracted from the aerial parts of both wild and cultivated Artemisia campestris L. plants were tested for larvicidal activity against Culex pipiens (Diptera: Culicidae), a pest mosquito widely suspected to be the vector responsible for West Nile virus transmission. The research aims at comparing the chemical composition and insecticidal activity of cultivated and wild A. campestris EOs. The EOs were obtained by hydrodistillation from the plant’s aerial parts and were analyzed using GC-MS. Furthermore, the larviciding experiment was carried out following the standard WHO protocol. The result showed that wild and cultivated plant EOs differed only quantitatively, while the qualitative profile revealed a nearly identical chemical composition. Camphor (18.98%), car-3-en-5-one (11.25%), thujone (6.36%), chrysanthenone (6.24%), filifolone (4.56%), and borneol (3.56%) dominate the wild plant EO. Camphor (21.01%), car-3-en-5-one (17%), chrysanthenone (10.15%), filifolone (7.90%), borneol (3.38%), and thujone (3.08%) are the major compounds of the cultivated plant. Cultivation did not affect the EO production since the yield of the cultivated plant was 0.5 ± 0.1% and 0.6 ± 0.2% for the wild plant. The cultivated A. campestris EO had the highest insecticidal activity (LC50 = 9.79 µg/ml), and no significant difference was noticed between wild and cultivated A. campestris EO in terms of LC90. These findings could pave the way for a new method of producing biocides to control major disease vectors and offer a potential alternative for pest control.

“…Some of the compounds that have been identified in the EO of A. campestris include terpenes such as 1,8-cineole, borneol, and terpinen-4-ol and sesquiterpenes such as beta-caryophyllene, alpha-humulene, and germacrene D, as well as other compounds such as p-cymene, thujone, and caryophyllene oxide [ 46 , 58 – 60 ].…”

“…The plant extracts have been shown to have strong antioxidant activity, which has been related to the presence of several phenolic compounds. 1 Juniperus phoenicea L., is an evergreen tree that grows in North African countries, including Algeria. The plant has been used in folk medicine to treat many health disorders such as hypoglycemia and diarrhea.…”

The excessive production of free radicals leads to their accumulation in the body and the occurrence of a phenomenon known as oxidative stress. It is important to note that natural antioxidants play a vital role in mitigating the harmful effects of such reactive species. [7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14] Therefore, the present study aims to evaluate the antioxidant activity, total phenolic and flavonoid contents, and mineral content of the aqueous, ethanol and acetone extracts of three Algerian medicinal plants namely; Haloxylon scoparium, Artemisia campestris (L.), and Juniperus phoenicea (L.). Materials and Methods Chemicals and reagentsFolin-Ciocalteu's reagent, 2,2-Diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical, ascorbic acid, 2,2′-azino-bis-(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6sulfonic) acid (ABTS) were obtained from Sigma (St Louis, MO, USA). Sodium carbonate, gallic acid, aluminum chloride, rutin, potassium persulphate (K2S2O8), sulphuric acid, sodium phosphate, ammonium molybdate, ethanol, and acetone were obtained from Sigma-Aldrich (Munich, Germany). Plant materialsThe aerial parts of the study plants including Artemisia campestris, Haloxylon scoparium, and Juniperus phoenicea were collected from their natural habitats in Laghouat region, Algeria (Latitude: 33°47'59 '', Longitude: 2°51'54'', Altitude: 764 m), between the months of March and April, 2021. The voucher specimens were deposited at the Laboratory of Process Engineering, University of Laghouat, with the numbers LGP Ac/03/21, LGP Hc/04/21 and LGP Jp/04/21 for Artemisia campestris, Haloxylon scoparium, and Juniperus phoenicea, respectively. The plants were reduced to a fine powder using electric mill.

Mucin is known by its biological and pharmacological activities. The aim of current study is to evaluate the hepatoprotective and the antioxidant activities of mucin extracted from Eremina desertorum snail as well as chemical profiling using GC-MS/MS analysis. This investigation confirmed the hepatoprotective and the antioxidant effects of mucin either alone or in combination with Silymarin on carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) liver damage. Male albino mice were injected intraperitoneally with 0.5ml /kg b.wt of 40% CCl4, twice/week for 8 weeks. The treated groups treated orally with Mucin (after 8 weeks of CCl4 intoxication, twice a week for four weeks) or Silymarin (from the first day of the experiment with a dose of 140 mg/kg, three times/week until the sacrifice day). After 12 weeks, all animals were sacrificed by cervical dislocation. Results showed that CCl4 induced a hepatotoxic effect represented in increasing liver enzymes, MDA and IL-2 while decreasing total protein, albumin, CAT, SOD and GSH. Amelioration in these parameters occurred after treatment of CCl4 intoxicated mice with either Silymarin or E. desertorum mucin where they caused increases in the activity of the antioxidant parameters while, reduced the level of MDA and liver enzymes activity. Also, the histopathological alterations that caused by CCl4 were improved after the treatment with this extract. GC-MS/MS analyses led to the identification of ten compounds were categorized as monoterpenes, sesquiterpenes, quinolines, and fatty acid esters. Conclusively, E. desertorum mucin enhanced antioxidant activity and ameliorated the CCl4-induced liver damage and it could be used as a hepatoprotective agent.
