The activity of the Santolina chamaecyparissus methanol extract was tested against the phospholipase A2 (PLA2)-induced mouse paw edema and in vitro inhibition of PLA2 activity. After fractionation, only the dichloromethane extract was active against the PLA2 in vitro test. In addition, it reduced the edema induced by arachidonic acid, and by 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate in a multidose test. After chromatography on silicagel and gel filtration on Sephadex, and using an in vitro anti-PLA2 assay-guided process, we have isolated and identified from the dichloromethane extract the flavone nepetin and four sesquiterpenes.

The study examines the chemical composition and antimicrobial properties of petroleum ether and hydro-methanolic extracts of Achillea santolina from Algeria. Chemical profiling was performed using high-performance liquid chromatography with diode array detection for the hydro-methanolic extract and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry for the petroleum ether extract. Antibacterial and antifungal activities were evaluated using the disc diffusion method and broth dilution technique.

Article Synopsis
- Achillea fragrantissima, a plant commonly used for treating skin issues, was studied for its essential oils (EOs) and their antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties.
- Various extraction methods were employed, with supercritical fluid extraction yielding the highest amount of EOs and containing a diverse range of chemical compounds.
- The EOs showed antibacterial effectiveness against various skin pathogens and had notable anti-inflammatory effects on specific immune markers in cell studies, making them potentially useful for skin-related treatments.
