Coss and Durieu: Phytochemical Composition and Biological Activities.

is an Algerian-Tunisian endemic species, which has not been studied yet. Ethyl acetate (EA) and -butanol (Bu) fractions obtained from were investigated for their health benefit properties, in particular with respect to in vivo/in vitro anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities, as well as their potential to inhibit key enzymes with impact in diabetes (α-glucosidase and α-amylase). The fractions had a distinct phytochemical composition, of which EA was richer in total phenolic compounds (225 mg GAE/g) and mostly composed of the phenylethanoid acetyl martynoside.
