Four new sesquiterpene derivatives have been isolated from the aerial parts of Cleome droserifolia. Their structures were established as 6-di(7-hydroxy, 1, 5-epoxy germacrane) (2), 4(15)-guaiane-6-ol (3), 7alpha-germacra-1(10), 4(15)-diene-5beta, 6alpha-diol (4) and 4,7,8-eudesma-triol (5). In addition, a new dolabellane diterpene derivative with the naturally rare peroxy function was identified as methyl ester of 2,18-O-diacetyl-16-O-(3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl)-7-hydroperoxydolabella-3,8(17)diene-2,16,18 triol (7). Two known flavonoid derivatives, pinocembrin (6) and quercetin-3-glucoside,7-rhamnoside (1) were isolated from the same source. Structures were established by spectroscopic data.

The increasing rates of morbidity and mortality owing to bacterial infections, particularly have necessitated finding solutions to face this issue. Thus, we elucidated the phytochemical constituents and antibacterial potential of extract (CDE). Using LC-ESI-MS/MS, the main phytoconstituents of CDE were explored, which were kaempferol-3,7--bis-alpha-L-rhamnoside, isorhamnetin, cyanidin-3-glucoside, kaempferide, kaempferol-3--alpha-L-rhamnoside, caffeic acid, isoquercitrin, quinic acid, isocitrate, mannitol, apigenin, acacetin, and naringenin.

The consumption of probiotics protects pancreatic β-cells from oxidative damage, delaying the onset of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and preventing microvascular and macrovascular complications. This study aimed to evaluate the antidiabetic activity of CDE fermented by Lactobacillus casei (ATCC 39539) (LC) in alloxan-induced diabetic rats. The oxidative stress identified by catalase (CAT), serum AST, ALT, ALP, creatinine, urea, and uric acid were measured.

Wild medicinal plants have been traditionally used as antimicrobial agents. Here, we evaluated the in vitro activity of extracts from wild Egyptian desert plants against Toxoplasma gondii and Neospora caninum. From 12 plant extracts tested, the methanolic extracts from Artemisia judaica, Cleome droserifolia, Trichodesma africanum, and Vachellia tortilis demonstrated potent activity against the growth of T.

Background: Medicinal plants have been successfully used as an alternative source of drugs for the treatment of microbial diseases. Finding a novel treatment for malaria is still challenging, and various extracts from different wild desert plants have been reported to have multiple medicinal uses for human public health, this study evaluated the antimalarial efficacy of several Egyptian plant extracts.
Methods: We assessed the cytotoxic potential of 13 plant extracts and their abilities to inhibit the in vitro growth of Plasmodium falciparum (3D7), and to treat infection with non-lethal Plasmodium yoelii 17XNL in an in vivo malaria model in BALB/c mice.
