Marrubium vulgare (Lamiaceae) is frequently used in traditional medicine to treat many illnesses from ancient times. Its beneficial effects include antibacterial, antioedematogenic, and analgesic activities. This study was designed to evaluate the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities of organic and aqueous extracts of the leaves, the flowers, the stems, and the roots of Marrubium vulgare. The total phenolic and flavonoid contents as well as the antioxidant and the anti-inflammatory effects of methanol, chloroform, ethyl acetate, and aqueous extracts have been investigated by using different in-vitro methods. It was found that the ethyl acetate extract from Marrubium vulgare stems had the highest total phenolic content, while the ethyl acetate extract from the leaves yielded a high concentration of flavonoids. The ethyl acetate extract from the stems exhibited the highest activity in scavenging of 2,2-diphenyl- 1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), as well as in protecting erythrocytes. The leaves aqueous extract exhibited the highest ferrous chelating activity and its methanolic extract was found to be the strongest inhibitor of lipid peroxidation in β-carotene bleaching assay. The leaves chloroform extracts as well as the flowers methanol, chloroform, and ethyl acetate extracts were found to decrease the pro-inflammatory tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) cytokine levels in a dose-dependent manner. On the other hand, the flowers methanolic extract and the leaves methanol, ethyl acetate, and aqueous extracts decreased the interleukin-1 beta (IL- 1β) release. It was also found that the methanol extract from the flowers and the chloroform extract from the stems of Marrubium vulgare inhibited interleukin-8 (IL-8) release. This study provides a scientific basis for the traditional use of Marrubium vulgare as an anti-inflammatory agent and for the plant to be considered as an important resource of natural antioxidants.

Medicinal plants have been employed in the treatment of human ailments since time immemorial. Arthritis is a joint disorder affecting the subchondral bone and cartilage. The continuous action of reactive oxygen species and inflammatory mediators are also reported to cause further damage to the joints by immunological activation. DriedPisonia grandisleaves were powdered for the extraction process. Albino Wistar rats were randomly divided into five groups with six animals in each group. Groups IV and V were complete Freund’s adjuvant (CFA) induced arthritic rats which receivedPisonia grandisethanol extract (PGEE; 250 and 500 mg/kg b.w. [body weight]) respectively from 15th to 35th day of induction of CFA induced arthritis. PGEE protects rats against primary and secondary arthritic lesions, body weight changes, and hematological perturbations induced by CFA. The serum markers of inflammation and arthritis, such as C-reactive protein and rheumatoid factor, were also reduced in the PGEE-treated arthritic rats. High performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) analysis of PGEE detected the presence of polyphenolic compounds such as resveratrol, quercetin, and naringenin. The study confirmed that presence of bioactive phytocompounds in ethanolic extract ofPisonia grandisR. Br. Overall, PGEE was observed to be a potent agent reducing arthritis-mediated cartilage/bone degradation, inflammation, and associated stress in vivo, which gives cause for further research.

Opuntia ficus-indica(the cactus or prickly pear) is a cactus belonging to the Opuntiae family. Several Opuntiae plant parts have been used in traditional Moroccan medicine. In this study, we investigated its most common use as an analgesic. An ethnobotanical study ofOpuntia ficus-indicawas first conducted in 10 areas in Morocco. Extracts fromOpuntia ficus-indicacladodes were obtained using a decoction method and its analgesic activity in mice was investigated by the hot plate and tail flick methods. Cladode extracts had significant (p<0.05) analgesic activity at intraperitoneal doses of 300, 500, and 1000 mg/kg body weight. Both methods revealed significantly increased latency at all three doses (p<0.05) compared to controls. These data suggest that the traditional use of this plant as an analgesic is valid; in fact, perhaps it may be a centrally-acting analgesic.

This study was designed to evaluate the chemical composition and anti-inflammatory activity of the common myrtle (Myrtus communisL.) essential oil. The composition ofMyrtus communisL. essential oil, extracted by steam distillation, was characterized by a high fraction (80.9%) of oxygenated monoterpenes. The major components were myrtenyl acetate (38.7%), eucalyptol (12.7%), α-pinene (13.7%), and linalool (7.00%). The chemical profile of this essential oil allows us to classify it as myrtényle acétate/α- pinène chemotype, but with atypical proportions, related to the harvesting area. In the carrageenan-induced paw edema, five different groups were established and the essential oil was administered orally in three different doses. The common myrtle essential oil (100 mg/kg) was able to reduce the paw edema, with a comparable effect to that observed with diclofenac (positive control). This is the first report to demonstrate a significant anti-inflammatory activity of Algerian common myrtle essential oil.

This study was conducted to determine the antimicrobial (antibacterial and antifungal) activity of green oak (Quercus ilex) wood ash from Beni Snous region (Tlemcen, Algeria). For the evaluation of antimicrobial potency, we tested the effect of different ash concentrations on reference bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus, Enterococcus faecalis, Bacillus subtilis, Bacillus cereus, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Enterobacter cloacae, and Proteus mirabilis) and reference yeasts (Candida albicans ATCC 10231 and Candida albicans 444IP). The antibacterial activity test results show that Gram-positive bacteria have a higher sensitivity than Gram-negative bacteria. Concerning the antifungal activity, inhibition of yeast growth was found even at low ash concentrations (5%). The results of this preliminary investigation thus revealed that wood ash from green oak exerts a remarkable antimicrobial activity.
