“…Many Scabiosa species are used in folk medicine for the treatment of various illnesses such as asthma, influenza, bronchitis, bronchial pneumonia, liver diseases, neurodegenerative diseases, and to treat certain dermatoses, in particular scabies (Girre, 1980;Bammi and Douira, 2002;Rigat et al, 2007;Kose et al, 2015;Moteetee et al, 2016;Pinto et al, 2018). Numerous Scabiosa species yielded a great variety of secondary metabolites such as triterpene saponins (Alimbaeva et al, 1977;Baykal et al, 1998;Zheng et al, 2004;Lehbili et al, 2018a;Kılınç et al, 2020;Bendamene et al, 2020), flavonoids, coumarins (Garaev et al, 2008;Al-Qudah et al, 2017;Lehbili et al, 2018b), mono-and bis-iridoid glucosides (Papalexandrou et al, 2003;Polat et al, 2010;Lehbili et al, 2018b) and phenolic compounds (Akar,2022). In our continuous researches on the chemical constituents of Scabiosa species growing in Algeria (Lehbili et al, 2018a;Lehbili et al, 2018b;Bendamene et al, 2020), we have investigated Scabiosa semipapposa Salzm.…”
