“…The Soxhlet extraction was chosen because it allowed having the highest yield, which can be explained by the heating applied during the operation as well as the long extraction time 27 . The extraction was realized by using a Soxhlet system, 25 g of dried plant powder was put in a cellulose cartridge and extracted with 250 mL of ethanol-water (70/30).…”

Objective: This study was carried out to evaluate the efficiency of plant extracts used in traditional medicine on the dissolution of oxalo-calcic and cystine stones. Also, the efficiency of phenolic fractions (Tannins and Flavonoids) for the plants that gave us the best stone dissolution rate. Subjects and methods: Kidney stone of oxalo-calcic and cystine stones were incubated in vitro for 8 weeks in the presence of five plants extracts (hydro-ethanolic and aqueous extracts). NaCl solution (0,9 %) used as negative control and sodium citrate solution at 3 mM/L as a positive control. The studied plants were Herniaria hirsuta L. aerial parts, Opuntia ficus-indica L. flowers, Zea mays L. stigmata, Ammi visnaga L. seeds and Ziziphus lotus L. fruits. After 2, 4, 6 and 8 weeks the stones were weighed after 18 h drying at 40°C and the dissolution rate of the stones and the pH of the solution were measured.Results: After eight weeks, all the plant extracts and phenolic fractions had revealed a significant effect to dissolve oxalo-calcic and cystine stones in comparison to the control solutions. The best result of cystine stones was showed with aqueous extract of H. hirsuta aerial parts which had a dissolution rate of 88,91 %. Concerning the dissolution rate of oxalo-calcic stones the aqueous extract of Z. mays had the best results with 68 % against 19 % for the sodium citrate solution. The dissolution rate of the fractions studied showed a better result for Z. mays flavonoids fraction toward oxalo-calcic stones, and Z. mays tannins fraction for cystine stones. The pH undergoes a non-negligible linear increase over the eight weeks for all extracts and phenolic fractions and both kidney stones.Conclusion: The tested plants' extracts and the phenolic fractions for the plants that gave us the best stone dissolution rate were able to dissolve oxalo-calcic and cystine stones. To confirm the efficiency of these plant extracts on the treatment of oxalo-calcic and cystine stones multiple in vivo tests could be made.

“…Literature data confirm the antioxidant (DPPH, FRAP methods) and anti-inflammatory properties (carrageenan induced paw oedema in rats assay) of the volatile oils fraction [10] and leaves extracts [3] from specific Acinos species. The present study was conducted on 70% ethanolic extract (E18) from the aerial part of Acinos alpinus indicated a moderate antioxidant effect (Figure 2) estimated at IC50 = 2.04 μg GAE/ mL extract, so that similar to that of rutin reference compound (IC50 = 2.54 μg GAE/mL); for comparison, under identical study conditions, other vegetal extracts studied by the authors indicated IC50 values ranging from 0.25 to 4.20 μg GAE/mL (Table II).…”

“…Similarly, the volatile oil fraction from Acinos arvensis Dandy plant species indicated antimicrobial activity against E. coli, S. aureus and K. pneumoniae strains [11]. Jennan S. et al [10] studied the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties of the volatile oils fractions isolated from Satureja alpina (syn. Acinos alpinus), Satureja briquetti and Satureja atlantica Morocco plant species; the paw oedema carrageenan induced rat model in vivo using as standard a synthetic antioxidant compound namely butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) indicated that S. alpina volatile oils fraction provided the best anti-inflammatory effects; doses of 200 mg volatile oils per kg body weight were estimated with 91.4% inhibitory activity upon paw oedema induced inflammation.…”

The present study aims to evaluate the chemical profile, antioxidant and antimicrobial activities, as well as diffusion aspects of the active compounds (polyphenols and terpenoids) in a physiological saline solution, of two extracts from the aerial part of rock thyme, Acinos alpinus (L.) Moench. The extract in 70% ethanol (E18) was used to evaluate the chemical qualitative and quantitative composition of polyphenols and terpenoids, and to assess the scavenger activity and antioxidant properties (chemiluminescence method); the extract in 20% propylene glycol (P18) was used to test the antimicrobial effect on E. coli ATCC 8739, S. aureus ATCC 25923 and C. albicans ATCC 10231, and also in diffusion studies on Franz cell device through the use of a synthetic membrane of cellulose acetate type in physiological saline media, in order to evaluate the diffusion effectiveness of the active compounds supported on sugar and water, respectively. RezumatScopul acestui studiu a constat în evaluarea compoziției chimice calitative și cantitative, a potențialului antioxidant şi antimicrobian, precum și a unor caracteristici privind difuzia compușilor activi (polifenoli si terpenoide) în mediu de ser fiziologic, a două extracte obținute din partea aeriană de cimbrișor de stâncă, Acinos alpinus (L.) Moench, cunoscut îndeosebi pentru proprietățile aperitive și digestive. Astfel, extractul în etanol 70% (E18) a fost utilizat pentru evaluarea conținutului chimic în polifenoli și terpenoide, dar și pentru estimarea capacității de îndepărtare a radicalilor liberi din mediu, respectiv a efectului antioxidant (studii de chemiluminescență); extractul în propilen glicol 20% (P18) a fost utilizat pentru testarea efectului antimicrobian pe tulpini de E. coli ATCC 8739, S. aureus ATCC 25923 și C. albicans ATCC 10231, respectiv în studii de difuzie (pe celula Franz) utilizând o membrană sintetică de tip acetat de celuloză în mediu de ser fiziologic, cu scopul final al demonstrării eficacității cedării compușilor activi din suport apă, respectiv zahăr.

“…The oils were extracted from the fresh leaves of both Artemisia species through hydro-distillation methods using a Clevenger apparatus [ 56 ]. Fresh mature leaves (250 g) of each plant were separated, sliced and combined with distilled water in a round bottom flask (1 L) fixed with a glass column (60 cm length) and connected with a condenser.…”

The current studies were focused on the phytochemical profiling of two local wild Artemisia species, Artemisia scoparia and Artemisia absinthium leaves' essential oils, extracted via the hydro distillation method along with evaluation of their antioxidant as well as antimicrobial effects. The constituents of EOs were identified using a combined gas chromatography-mass spectrometric (GC-MS) technique. A total of 25 compounds in A. scoparia essential oil (EOAS) were identified, and 14 compounds with percentage abundance of >1% were tabulated, the major being tocopherol derivatives (47.55%). A total of nine compounds in Artemisia absinthium essential oil (EOAA) were enlisted (% age >1%), the majority being oleic acid derivatives (41.45%). Strong antioxidant effects were pronounced by the EOAS in DPPH (IC50 = 285 ± 0.82 µg/mL) and in ABTS (IC50 = 295 ± 0.32 µg/mL) free radical scavenging assays. Both the EOs remained potent in inhibiting the growth of bacterial species; Escherichia coli (55–70%) and Shigella flexneri (60–75%) however remained moderately effective against Bacillus subtilis as well as Staphylococcus aureus. Both EOAS and EOAA strongly inhibited the growth of the tested fungal species, especially Aspergillus species (up to 70%). The oils showed anti-cholinesterase potential by inhibiting both Acetylcholinesterase (AChE; IC50 = 30 ± 0.04 µg/mL (EOAS), 32 ± 0.05 µg/mL (EOAA) and Butyrylcholinesterase (BChE; IC50 = 34 ± 0.07 µg/mL (EOAS), 36 ± 0.03 µg/mL (EOAA). In conclusion, the essential oils of A. scoparia and A. absinthium are promising antioxidant, antimicrobial and anticholinergic agents with a different phytochemical composition herein reported for the first time.
