“…The IC50 for butanol sub-extract was 100.18 ± 2.92 µg/mL. However, the study conducted by Chelghoum 34 on α-amylase inhibition by P. atlantica leaves phenolic extracts from "Aflou-Algeria" samples found IC50 value of 4.79 ± 0.11 mg/mL. There is significative difference between leaves, fruit and galls of P. atlantica.…”

Pistacia atlantica Desf., commonly referred to as "Betoum", is one of many plants that grows naturally in Algeria and belongs to the Anacardiaceae family. 4 Pistacia atlantica extracts are known to have many pharmacological properties including antiviral, 5 antimicrobial, 6 antitumor, 7 antihypertensive, antioxidant, 8 anti-inflammatory, 9 antihyperglycemic, 10 antihyperlipidemic, 11 anticholinesterase, 12 and cytotoxic activities. 13,14 The term "gall" in relation to trees refers to abnormal growths or swellings that develop on the leaves, stems, branches, and even roots of trees. 15 These galls are often caused by the tree's response to the action of certain organisms, such as insects, mites, fungi, or bacteria. The organisms induce the tree to form these structures as a protective response or as part of their life cycle. 16 Galls are also used in the Sahara (Algeria) as an expectorant, against asthma and chest diseases. 13 The marginal red galls formed in the leaves of P. atlantica were, induced by Forda riccobonii insects. 17 P. atlantica has been used as an antidiabetic drug plant in Jordanian folk medicine. 18 The antihyperglycemic and antioxidant activities of marginal galls extracts formed on the leaves of P. atlantica (from Algeria), have not yet determined. Based on the ethnobotanical use of the plant galls, our study focuses on the hypoglycemic activity of crude extracts of different organic solvents, of the galls formed on P. atlantica leaves, by in vitro inhibition of alpha-amylase activity, followed by an in silico study (ligand-protein interaction) of compounds previously isolated from P. atlantica. The total phenolic, total flavonoid content, and antioxidant activity were also reported.

Tussilago farfara L., a perennial species, is a medicinal herb used in traditional medicine, mainly for the treatment of respiratory tract-related pathology. In traditional Chinese medicine, flower buds are preferred; in Europe, the leaves are used; and in some parts of India, the whole plant is utilized. This preferential usage of the plant organs might be based on differences in the chemical composition due to environmental conditions, along with preferred traditional and cultural approaches. In this article, the impact of pedoclimatic growth conditions on the morpho-anatomical development and phytochemical profile of the plant were studied on T. farfara in the vegetative state, collected from two different locations in the Romanian spontaneous flora, revealing significant variations. Furthermore, the antioxidant profile of the specific extracts from the aerial and subterranean plant parts is also in accordance with these discrepancies. The plant anatomy was assessed histologically by optical microscopy, while the analytical chemistry evaluation was based on LC/MS and spectral methods for the evaluation of the antioxidant and enzyme inhibitory activity. To our knowledge, this is the first comparative analysis contextually reporting on the histology, phenolic profile, antioxidant capacity, and geographical location of the vegetative form of T. farfara.

“…Generally, this type of chemical diversity can be attributed to different factors, such as genetic variations and ecological and environmental factors [18]. In addition, different atmospheric conditions, such as radiation levels, climatic conditions, temperature, and photoperiod, may also exert significant effects on the quantity and quality of the phytoconstituents [19,20]. Indeed, these types of chemical diversities (specific variety of the chemicals produced by the plants) have been effectively utilized for the classification of the plants.…”

A comprehensive study on chemical characterization of essential oil (EO) constituents of a rarely explored plant species (Matricaria aurea) of the Asteraceae family grown in Saudi Arabia and Jordan was carried out. Analyses were conducted employing gas chromatographic approaches such as GC-MS, GC-FID, and Co-GC, as well as RT, LRI determination, and database and literature comparisons, on two diverse stationary phase columns, which led to the identification of a total of 135 constituents from both EOs. Oxygenated sesquiterpenes were found to be the most predominant chemical class of Saudi M. aurea EOs, in which α-bisabolol (27.8%), γ-gurjunenepoxide (21.7%), (E, E)-α-farnesene (16.3%), and cis-spiroether (7.5%) were present as major components. In contrast, the most dominant chemical class of Jordanian M. aurea oil was found to be sesquiterpene hydrocarbons, where (E, E)-α-farnesene (50.2%), γ-gurjunenepoxide (8.5%), (E)-β-farnesene (8.1%), and (Z, E)-α-farnesene (4.4%) were detected as chief constituents. It is interesting to mention here that Saudi and Jordanian M. aurea EOs showed quite interesting chemical compositions and were found to have different chemotypes when compared to previously reported M. aurea EO compositions.
