Laboratory of Bioactive Substances, Biotechnology Center in Borj-Cedria Technopole, BP 901, 2050, Hammam-Lif, Tunisia.
Article Synopsis
- This study evaluated the antioxidant and antileishmanial effects of essential oil from Ballota (B.) hirsuta leaves, identifying spathulenol and germacrene D as its main components.
- The essential oil demonstrated moderate antioxidant activity and high antileishmanial effectiveness against both promastigote and amastigote forms of Leishmania, with specific IC values indicating its potency.
- The study also revealed that B. hirsuta EO primarily inhibits the sterol synthesis pathway and suggested that its main compounds may be promising candidates for developing treatments against leishmaniasis.

Laboratory of Aromatic and Medicinal Plants, Biotechnology Center in Borj Cedria Technopole, Hammam-Lif, Tunisia.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how the maturity stages of citron fruit affect the quantity and quality of its essential oil (EO), analyzing four stages: green mature, intermediate, yellow ripe, and overripe.
- Results showed that EO concentration ranged from 0.60% to 0.77%, with the highest limonene content (89.39%) found in the green mature stage, which decreases as the fruit ripens.
- The overripe stage exhibited the highest antioxidant activity (76.08%), suggesting that specific compounds and their interactions contribute to the health benefits of the fruit, indicating the best time for harvest to maximize bioactive substances.
