“…Additionally, the variability is not observed only at the subspecies level but also between the different populations of the same subspecies. Moreover, the variability doesn't concern only the morphological features [22] but also the chemical profile of leaf essential oils, oleoresin, fatty oils and their potential biological activities [23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31].…”

“…Pistacia atlantica subsp. atlantica leaf EOs from Algeria and Morocco have been deeply analysed, recording differently in α-pinene, terpinen-4-ol, germacrene D, E-caryophyllene, δ-3-carene, α-terpineol, γ-gurjunene/spathulenol/α-phellandrene as major compounds in several studies investigating seasonal, tree-sex and ecological variability factors [23,25,26,[28][29][30]54,59]. Benhassaini et al [56] analysed the chemical composition of the oleoresin, which was found to be dominated by α-pinene, β-pinene and carvacrol.…”

Pistacia atlantica Desf. (Atlas pistachio) is one of the most widely distributed wild species of the genus. It is an Irano–Touranian species with a large geographic area that extends from the Canary Islands to Pamir Mountains. Since ancient times, atlas pistachio gum-like resin and fruits, very rich in essential oils (EOs) and fixed oils (FOs), respectively, were used in traditional medicine and included in different traditional cosmetics and health and beauty products. Since then, Atlas pistachio fixed oil is incorporated into several soaps, creams and shampoos to benefit from its medicinal properties. Atlas pistachio fixed oils, resin and leaf essential oils are constituted by several bioactive compounds such as monoterpenes with α-pinene and β-pinene in the resin, terpinen-4-ol, elemol, sesquiterpenes with D-germacrene and E-caryophyllene in the leaves and oxygenated monoterpenes (bornyl acetate) in the fruits. The unsaturated fatty acids (oleic, linoleic, palmitic and stearic acid), sterols (β-sitostero) and tocopherols represented the principal compounds in fatty oil fruits. All these compounds exhibit great therapeutic and cosmetic virtues. Unlike lentisk oil uses in cosmetology, the cosmetic potentials of Atlas pistachio oils remain less valued. In the current review, we seek to highlight the characteristics and properties of Atlas pistachio oils in the prospects of the development of new and different cosmetic formulations as well as an innovative valuation of active ingredients and products inspired by indigenous knowledge and practices.

“…Te extracts contain more than 40 phenolic compounds, classifed into three main classes of secondary metabolites [12]. Te plant has also been extensively studied for a variety of biological activities, which have been reported to possess antifungal [13], antibacterial [14,15], antioxidant [16][17][18][19], antimalarial, and antiviral activities [20], as well as anti-infammatory [21], analgesic, and antithermogenic activities [22,23].…”

The aims of this study were to determine the polyphenolic profile, to estimate the total phenolic and flavonoid contents, and to evaluate the antioxidant and antidiabetic activities of the extract of Pistacia lentiscus leaves, and the hydroacetonic mixture was employed as an alternative for common solvents in the extraction process. In order to explain the antidiabetic activity, molecular docking has been performed on the main constituents of the leaf extract. The characterization of the extract has been performed by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) leading to the detection of 20 compounds of which gallic acid, ellagic acid, catechin, kaempferol, and quercetin 3-glucoside were identified using authentic standards. The total phenolic and flavonoid contents, assessed using the Folin–Ciocalteu and quercetin methods, were 394.5 ± 0.08 mg gallic acid equivalent/g dry extract (mg GAE/g DE) and 101.2 ± 0.095 mg quercetin equivalent/g dry extract (mg QE/g DE), respectively. On the other hand, the antioxidant activity of leaf extract, quantified by determining the ability to neutralize the free radical DPPH and β-carotene/linoleate model system, reached the values of 0.0027 ± 0.002 mg/mL and 0.128 ± 0.04 mg/mL, respectively. Regarding the antidiabetic activity, based on the inhibition of pancreatic α-amylase activity, a significant inhibition of about 68.20% with an IC50 value of 0.266 mg/mL had been observed. This finding is consistent with the molecular docking study of the main phenolic compounds of the extracts, where a remarkable binding affinity against α-amylase was observed, with values of −7.631 (kcal/mol), −6.818 (kcal/mol), and −5.517 (kcal/mol) for the major compounds catechin, quercetin-3-glucoside, and gallic acid, respectively.
