“…These studies have revealed the importance of medicinal plants as natural sources of antidiabetic bioactive agents. P. lentiscus (lentisk or mastic tree), a medicinal plant growing in the wild in the Mediterranean area [ 13 , 14 ] and belonging to the Anacardiaceae family, is traditionally used to treat hypertension, cough, sore throat, eczema, stomach ache, toothache, kidney disorders, jaundice [ 15 ], skin problems and diarrhea [ 16 , 17 ], but also diabetes [ 18 ]. In the ethnobotanical investigation on antidiabetic plants conducted in Morocco by Bouyahya et al (2021), it was revealed that lentisk leaves were the most used part.…”

Pistacia lentiscus L. is a medicinal plant that grows spontaneously throughout the Mediterranean basin and is traditionally used to treat diseases, including diabetes. The aim of this work consists of the evaluation of the α-glucosidase inhibitory effect (i.e., antidiabetic activity in vitro) of different extracts from the leaves, stem barks and fruits of P. lentiscus harvested on mountains and the littoral of Tizi-Ouzou in Algeria. Metabolomic profiling combined with a chemometric approach highlighted the variation of the antidiabetic properties of P. lentiscus according to the plant’s part and origin. A multiblock OPLS analysis showed that the metabolites most involved in α-glucosidase inhibition activity were mainly found in the stem bark extracts. The highest inhibitory activity was found for the stem bark extracts, with averaged inhibition percentage values of 84.7% and 69.9% for the harvested samples from the littoral and mountain, respectively. On the other hand, the fruit extracts showed a lower effect (13.6%) at both locations. The UHPLC-ESI-HRMS characterization of the metabolites most likely responsible for the α-glucosidase-inhibitory activity allowed the identification of six compounds: epigallocatechin(4a>8)epigallocatechin (two isomers), (epi)gallocatechin-3′-O-galloyl-(epi)gallocatechin (two isomers), 3,5-O-digalloylquinic acid and dihydroxy benzoic acid pentoside.

“…Previously, the chemical profile and antibacterial properties of essential oils of Lavandula stoechas and Pistacia lentiscus have mainly been examined (Alejandro et al, 2015;Boudieb et al, 2019). However, work on other significant biological activities of essential oils and hydroalcoholic extracts of these two Algerian medicinal plants is limited.…”

This work aime to study the chemical composition and the main biological properties contained in the extracts of Lavandula stoechas and Pistacia lentiscus collected in northern Algeria. Lavandula stoechas and Pistacia lentiscus are two medicinal plants belonging to the botanical family Labiatae and Anacardeacea respectively. They are grow wild in the northen Algeria and widely used in traditional Algerian medicine. The GC/MS analysis of the essential oils of Lavandula stoechas extracted by hydrodistillation showed that the latter are of fenchone chemotype whatever the period and the site of harvest. LC/MS analysis of tannin powders extracted by maceration of the leaves in a hydroalcoholic solvent reveals that they mainly contain rosmarinic acid. Essential oils extracted from the leaves of Pistacia lentiscus showed a large variability in terpenoid. The antioxidant activity of the different essential oils varied according to the harvesting period and the altitude. The highest antiradical effects were observed with the FRAP test. An another side the Pistacia lentiscus extracts showed to have an α-glucosidase inhibition effect that was more or less impactful according to the plant’s living environment (mountain or littoral) and the considered organ (leaves, stem barks or fruits).
