The present study shows the chemical profile and cytotoxic properties of the ethanolic extracts of Inula viscosa from Northeast Algeria. The extract was obtained by maceration using ethanol. Its phenolic profile was determined using ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with a diode array detector and an electrospray mass spectrometer (UHPLC-DAD-ESI/MS), which allowed the identification and quantification of 17 compounds, 1,5-O-caffeoylquinic acid being the most abundant.

The chemical profile was determined using RP-HPLC-ESI-QTOF-MS analysis, revealing the presence of twenty-one flavonoids and phenolic acids. A series of antioxidant assays was carried out using ten different methods.

In this study the aim was to investigate chemical constituents of and understand the possible effects of those constituents in antioxidant activity and alzheimer's disease essay. For this purpose, natural compounds from were characterized by LC-DAD-ESI-MS/MS using negative and positive ionization modes, while the bioactivity was assessed by acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibition study and determining of antioxidant activity; DPPH radical scavenging and -carotene bleaching assays were used to assess the antioxidant potential.

A total of 66 chemical compounds were detected. Among these, 45 compounds were identified: hydroxycinnamic acid and derivatives (26), hydroxybenzoic acids (4), flavones (11), flavonols (3), and a lignan.

The characterisation of the compounds was carried out taking into account retention time, mass accurate measurements, the generated molecular formulae and fragmentation pattern. These data were contrasted with literature and databases, as well as with those of authentic standards when possible.
