Antioxidant activity and phenolic compounds identification of (Desf.) Benth. from Western Algeria.

(Desf.) Benth. is most studied for the antimicrobial activity of their essential oils; nevertheless there are no reports on the phenolic compounds of this species and their antioxidant activity.

Antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory activities of three halophyte plants from Algeria and detection of some biomolecules by HPLC-DAD.

Antimicrobial activity of hydroalcoholic extracts (30/70) from leaves and stems of three halophytes ( and ) was investigated. toxicological study and anti-inflammatory activity of leaf extract of were tested on carrageenan-induced inflammatory paw edema. possessed significant anti-inflammatory activity at 150 and 300 mg/kg confirmed by histological study of inflamed tissues.

Evaluation of antioxidant activity of hydromethanolic extracts of some medicinal species from South Algeria.

Background: Phytochemicals are found in abundance at different levels in many medicinal plants. It is important to measure the total phenolic compounds correctly in such medicinal plants, the better to assess their antioxidant capacity.

Methods: Our study sought to evaluate the total phenolic, flavonoid, and tannin contents of three Algerian medicinal plants: Echium pycnanthum Pomel, Haloxylon articulatum Boiss, and Solenostemma oleifolium Bull.
