To assess the extent and severity of poisoning by Atractylis gummifera L. in Morocco, a descriptive retrospective study was conducted on all the poisoning cases listed between 1981 and 2004 to the Morocco Poison Control Center. During this period, 240 people were hospitalized for glue thistle poisoning, 72% of which are children under 16 years. The severity of the poisoning has been affirmed by significant intrahospital lethality. Indeed, among the 182 patients for whom the outcomes were known, 98 died (54%).

There is a demand from the scientific, beekeeping and consumer sectors to characterize honey based on its botanical origin, as it provides unique and distinctive properties. Nevertheless, existing studies on the physicochemical properties and the sensorial profile of honey in relation to botanical origin remain insufficient. This study aimed to understand the relationships between sensory profile and various chemical compounds (minerals, sugars, water content and volatiles) of three monofloral honeys (, and ) produced in Algeria using principal component analysis.

Background: The Mediterranean thistle L. (Asteraceae; AG) has diterpenoid glucosides; atractyloside and carboxyatractyloside that interact with mitochondrial protein adenine nucleotide translocator (ANT) and resulted in ATP inhibition. Despite its well-known toxicity, acute poisonings still occur with this plant.

Article Synopsis
- Atractylis aristata, a plant endemic to the Ahaggar region in Algeria, is traditionally used to treat inflammation, fever, and stomach issues.
- The study aimed to identify the bioactive and phytochemical components of Atractylis aristata and analyze its various properties, including antioxidant, antidiabetic, anti-inflammatory, acute toxicity, and sedative effects.
- The results indicated that Atractylis aristata exhibited significant antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities, with no acute toxicity observed at tested doses.
