“…Individual Ruta species have been used in Algerian popular medicine as an emmenagogue, antispasmodic, anti-epileptic, vermifuge and sudorific, however, it can cause problems such as gastro-enteritis, intenseness, with giddiness, tremors and convulsions (6,7). Several plants of this genus have been studied through from the phytochemical, microbiological, biological, and pharmacological point of view (8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18)(19)(20). Although coumarins and alkaloids have a wide occurrence in this genus (21)(22)(23)(24)(25)(26).…”

Ruta chalepensis L. Essential Oil: A New Antisprouting Agent for Potatoes Bioconservation

“…However, until now no previous studies were focused on the RCEO sprouting potential inhibition on potatoes. As a matter of fact, Ruta chalepensis L. is a wild plant widespread in the Mediterranean region [13] known mainly for its abortifacient, anthelmintic, antispasmodic, phytotoxic, antimicrobial, and antioxidant activities [14][15][16][17][18][19]. Yet, no data was found on potatoes bioconservation using Ruta chalepensis L. essential oil.…”

Ruta chalepensis is commonly named fringed rue in English and "Fijel" in the local jargon of North Africa.…”

“…Ruta chalepensis is commonly named fringed rue in English and "Fijel" in the local jargon of North Africa. It stands especially by showing biological activity associated with its extracts and essential oil such as emmnagogic, abortifacient, anthelmintic and spasmolytic effects (Di Stasi et al, 2002), biting deterrence (Ali et al, 2013), repellent activity (Ali et al, 2013;Conti et al, 2013), insecticidal activity (Megally et al, 2009;Ali et al, 2013;Conti et al, 2013), antifeedant activity (Megally et al, 2009) and for its depressant activity on the central nervous system (Gonzalez-Trujano et al, 2006). The leaves and young stems of R. chalepensis contain alkaloids, flavonoids, phenols, amino acids, furocoumarins and saponins (Hnatyszyn et al, 1974).…”
