Assessment of biochemical changes in normal and diabetic rats treated by phenolic enriched extracts of L. barks.

Objectives: L. is largely used by diabetic population, but its bark is scarcely investigated. The major aim of this study was to investigate the effect of the hydro-methanolic extract and fractions of L.

Biological activities and volatile constituents of Daucus muricatus L. from Algeria.

Background: In order to find new bioactive natural products, the antimicrobial and antioxidant activities of essential oil components extracted from the separated organs of the Algerian medicinal and aromatic plant Daucus muricatus L. were studied.

Results: The chemical composition of essential oils obtained by hydrodistillation (HD) was investigated using Gas Chromatography-Retention Indices (GC-RI) and GC-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS).
