“…Polysaccharides of quince fruit inhibited the activity of tyrosine phosphatase (IC50 = 2.07 μg/mL), indicating its capability to treat type 2 diabetes and obesity [ 80 ]. Moreover, quince is used in sore throat, cough, pneumonia, and lung disease [ 2 , 7 , 37 , 81 , 82 , 83 , 84 , 85 ]. The antimicrobial potential of quince leaf extract was also tested by Benzarti et al (2018), who tested the activity against eight pathogenic bacteria using the disc diffusion method.…”

Leaf extract of Cydonia Oblonga Mill. is interesting for further exploration of the potential of its substrates for therapeutic supplements. Quantitative and qualitative analyses were conducted on samples of green (October), yellow (November), and brown (December) quince leaves collected in the region of Pinhel, Portugal. Mineral analysis determined the measurements of the levels of several macro- and micro-elements. Organic analysis assessed the moisture content, total phenolic content (TPC), vitamin E, and fatty acid (FA) profiles. Mineral analysis was based on ICP-MS techniques, while the profiles of vitamin E and FA relied on HPLC-DAD-FLD and GC-FID techniques, respectively. Moisture content was determined through infrared hygrometry and TPC was determined by spectrophotometric methods. Regarding the mineral content, calcium, magnesium, and iron were the most abundant minerals. Concerning organic analysis, all leaf samples showed similar moisture content, while the TPC of gallic acid equivalents (GAE) and total vitamin E content, the most predominant of which was the α-tocopherol isomer, showed significant variations between green-brown and yellow leaves. FA composition in all leaf samples exhibited higher contents of SFA and PUFA than MUFA, with a predominance of palmitic and linolenic acids. Organic and inorganic analysis of quince leaves allow for the prediction of adequate physiological properties, mainly cardiovascular, pulmonary, and immunological defenses, which with our preliminary in silico studies suggest an excellent supplement to complementary therapy, including drastic pandemic situations.

“…The vasodilating properties of A. visnaga have been investigated by several researches. It has been established as a bronchodilator and coronary medication in the treatment of angina pectoris due to its peripheral and coronary vasodilator activity [51], in addition to being an antiasthmatic and a vasodilator, as well as an effective muscle relaxant agent without affecting blood pressure [3,52]. The vasodilating properties of A. visnaga are associated with its two major γ-pyrones, khellin and visnagin, along with the pyranocoumarin, visnadin.…”

Ammi visnaga L. (Visnaga daucoides Gaertn., Family Apiaceae), also known as Khella Baldi or toothpick weed, is an annual or biennial herb indigenous to the Mediterranean region of North Africa, Asia, and Europe. The plant is known to have been used in traditional medicine a long time ago. Nowadays, it is used in modern medicine to treat many aliments such as renal colic and coronary insufficiency, and is used as an antioxidant, antifungal, and antibacterial, with a larvicidal effect on mosquito larvae. Peer-reviewed studies show that these pharmacological activities are due its valuable chemical constituents that include mainly essential oil, polyphenolic compounds including flavonoids, as well as γ-pyrones, represented mainly by khellin and visnagin. Its essential oil is reported to have antiviral, antibacterial, and larvicidal effects, while its flavonoid content is responsible for its antioxidant activity. Its γ-pyrone content has a powerful effect on facilitating the passage of kidney stones and relieving renal colic, in addition to having a relaxant effect on smooth muscle including that of the coronary arteries. The current review represents the progress in research on A. visnaga in terms of either its chemistry or biological activities. This review represents scientific support material for the use of the plant by the pharmaceutical industry.

“…Besides being such an antiasthmatic and vasodilator and also an important relaxant without influencing blood pressure [29]. The vasodilating features of A. visnaga are associated with the pyranocoumarin, visnadin and its two primary pyrones, khellin and visnagin.…”

Medicinal plants have a vital role in our life, providing us with a variety of secondary metabolites with varied chemical structures and biological activities. Ammi visnaga (L.) Lam. and Apium graveolens L. are common traditional plant species that have long been used for the prevention and treatment of several health problems. Both A. visnaga and A. graveolens belong to the carrot family, Apiaceae (Umbelliferae) and showed different groups of natural compounds, such as coumarins, furanochromones, flavonoids and essential oils. In view of that, the current review describes various classes of chemical constituents identified so far from these medicinal species, together with their valued pharmacological and therapeutic effects.
