Mentha suaveolens, Lavandula stoechas, and Ammi visnaga are widely used in Moroccan folk medicine against several pathological disorders, including diabetes infectious diseases. This work was designed to determine the chemical profile of M. suaveolens (MSEO), L. stoechas (LSEO), A. (AVEO) essential oils assess their antimicrobial, antioxidant, antidiabetic effects. The volatile components LSEO, AVEO, MSEO were analyzed using Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS). vitro activity...
Abstract The current work attempts to explore the influence of three extraction solvents on phytochemical composition, content polyphenols, antioxidant potential, and antibacterial capacity hydroethanolic, acetonic, aqueous extracts from Moroccan Mentha longifolia leaves. To achieve this goal, chemical composition was identified using an HPLC–DAD examination. contents polyphenols were assessed, while total (TAC), DPPH test, reducing power test (RP) utilized determine capacity. assess...
Cedrus atlantica (Endl.) Manetti ex Carriere is an endemic tree possessing valuable health benefits which has been widely used since time immemorial in international traditional pharmacopoeia. The aim of this exploratory investigation to determine the volatile compounds C. essential oils (CAEOs) and examine their vitro antimicrobial, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, dermatoprotective properties. In silico simulations, including molecular docking pharmacokinetics absorption, distribution,...
Cancer is one of the major medical challenges, with an unacceptably high death toll worldwide. In Morocco, medicinal plants continue to play a pivotal therapeutic role despite development modern sanitation systems. current study, ethnobotanical survey was carried out at Moroccan national institute oncology, Rabat, and we aimed (1) establishing exhaustive inventory indigenous knowledge used manage cancer (2) confirming reported ethnopharmacological uses through bibliometric review. An...
Tetraclinis articulata is a known traditional medicinal plant used to manage various ailments, such as diabetes, rheumatism and infectious diseases. This study aims determine the chemical constituents of T. essential oil (EO) evaluate its in vitro antibacterial, anti-candidal, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory dermatoprotective properties. In addition, computational docking approach was predict potential antifungal, anti-inflammatory, cytotoxic properties identified compounds. The volatile...
Abstract The development of novel antioxidant compounds with high efficacy and low toxicity is utmost importance in the medicine food industries. Moreover, increasing concerns about safety synthetic components, scientists are beginning to search for natural sources antioxidants, especially essential oils (EOs). combination EOs may produce a higher scavenging profile than single oil due better chemical diversity mixture. Therefore, this exploratory study aims assess activity three extracted...
Diabetes is a global health concern with significant implications for individuals and healthcare systems. Finding effective safe antidiabetic agents crucial the management of this chronic disease. Natural products have emerged as potential alternatives to allopathic drugs, offering vast source bioactive compounds. In study, we conducted an assessment Origanum compactum essential oil, employing two-pronged approach, i.e., experimental investigation computational docking analysis. The results...
The rise of antibiotic-resistant pathogens has become a global health crisis, necessitating the development alternative antimicrobial strategies. This study aimed to optimize antibacterial effects essential oils (EOs) from Thymus satureioides, Lavandula angustifolia, and Origanum majorana, enhancing their efficacy through optimized mixtures. utilized simplex-centroid design mixture ratios EOs for maximal antioxidant effectiveness. chemical profiles were analyzed using gas chromatography-mass...
In this study, experimental design approach coupled with MIC assay were used to determine the combined treatment effect of three Moroccan essential oils (EOs) derived from Ammi visnaga (AVEO), Mentha suaveolens (MSEO) and Lavandula stoechas (LSEO), against S. aureus, E. coli P. aeruginosa, as well predict optimal formulations these EOs inhibit bacterial adhesion on stainless steel (304L SS) surface. obtained via hydrodistillation then, their volatile content was analyzed using Gas...
Background: Medicinal and aromatic plants are widely used in Moroccan traditional pharmacopoeia. An ethnobotanical survey was carried out at Mernissa (Taounate, Northern Morocco), for 4 months, order to collect data on medicinal phytotherapy the treatment of various diseases. Methods: All related interviewed people their therapeutic practices have been collected thanks 410 questionnaire cards. This information then analyzed using Relative Citation Frequency (RFC), Family Importance Value...

Cupressus sempervirens is a known traditional plant used to manage various ailments, including cancer, inflammatory and infectious diseases. In this investigation, we aimed explore the chemical profile of essential oil (CSEO) as well their antibacterial mode action. The volatile components were characterized using gas chromatography coupled mass spectrometer (GC-MS). results revealed remarkable properties EO derived from C. sempervirens. GC-MS analysis indicated that by δ-3-carene (47.72%),...
This study aims to identify the volatile profile of three essential oils obtained from Eucalyptus polybractea cryptonifera (EPEO), Ormenis mixta (OMEO), and Lavandula burnatii briquet (LBEO) examine their combined antibacterial activity that affords optimal inhibitory ability against S. aureus E. coli using simplex-centroid mixture design checkerboard assay. Essential (EOs) were isolated by hydrodistillation characterized gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) chromatography coupled...
The optimization of existing natural antioxidants that are highly effective is crucial for advancements in medicine and the food industry. Due to growing concerns regarding safety synthetic antioxidants, researchers increasingly focusing on sources, particularly essential oils (EOs). Combining EOs might enhance antioxidant activity due increased chemical diversity. This study investigates, first time, properties from Lavandula dentata, Rosmarinus officinalis, Myrtus communis, both...
Background: For centuries, Moroccan population uses medicinal plants as a primary source of medication to treat different human ailments. However, few investigations have been carried out properly document and preserve this traditional knowledge. Indeed, ethnobotanical exploration aims establish an exhaustive inventory used by the Taounate for treatment diseases. Methods: Ethnobotanical surveys were with 500 participants distributed equally between stations. The study selected randomly...
Background/Objectives: Essential oils (EOs) from Citrus species have attracted attention for their diverse properties, including anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and cytotoxic effects, which address critical health challenges such as chronic diseases skin disorders. sinensis (L.) Osbeck, is a widely cultivated citrus fruit, attracting increasing in the field of medicinal research due to its richness limonene (comprising approximately 85–90% oil).
