“…The EO of Sardinian Santolina corsica has been reported to contain a remarkable content of aromadendrene derivatives that exhibit a significant anti-inflammatory [ 61 ]. The enriched EO of Algerian Myrtus communis with myrtenyl acetate (38.7%) was shown to reduce the mice’s inflammation and paw edema at a concentration of 100 mg/kg [ 62 ]. In addition to these significant roles of the main components, the other compounds were expected to have an important contribution via synergetic effects [ 8 ].…”

The integration of green natural chemical resources in agricultural, industrial, and pharmaceutical applications allures researchers and scientistic worldwide. Cleome amblyocarpa has been reported as an important medicinal plant. However, its essential oil (EO) has not been well studied; therefore, the present study aimed to characterize the chemical composition of the C. amblyocarpa, collected from Egypt, and assess the allelopathic, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory activities of its EO. The EO of C. amblyocarpa was extracted by hydrodistillation and characterized via gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The chemometric analysis of the EO composition of the present studied ecospecies and the other reported ecospecies was studied. The allelopathic activity of the EO was evaluated against the weed Dactyloctenium aegyptium. Additionally, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities were determined. Forty-eight compounds, with a prespondence of sesquiterpenes, were recorded. The major compounds were caryophyllene oxide (36.01%), hexahydrofarnesyl acetone (7.92%), alloaromadendrene epoxide (6.17%), myrtenyl acetate (5.73%), isoshyobunone (4.52%), shyobunol (4.19%), and trans-caryophyllene (3.45%). The chemometric analysis revealed inconsistency in the EO composition among various studied ecospecies, where it could be ascribed to the environmental and climatic conditions. The EO showed substantial allelopathic inhibitory activity against the germination, seedling root, and shoot growth of D. aegyptium, with IC50 values of 54.78, 57.10, and 74.07 mg L−1. Additionally, the EO showed strong antioxidant potentiality based on the IC50 values of 4.52 mg mL−1 compared to 2.11 mg mL−1 of the ascorbic acid as standard. Moreover, this oil showed significant anti-inflammation via the suppression of lipoxygenase (LOX) and cyclooxygenases (COX1, and COX2), along with membrane stabilization. Further study is recommended for analysis of the activity of pure authentic materials of the major compounds either singularly or in combination, as well as for evaluation of their mechanism(s) and modes of action as antioxidants or allelochemicals.

Over the centuries, humanity has known and utilized some sacred oils extracted from their medicinal plants for therapeutic purpose. They are considered as good source of bioactive compounds having a wide range of vital biological activities. Aromatic oils have been a part of human history for more than 3,500 years BC and appeared with regularity throughout all major civilizations down the ages, with uses ranging from religious ritual, food flavoring, medicines, perfumery and the masking of bad odors. It is impossible to date exactly when plants were first used medicinally, since such a development would have taken place over thousands of years. During recent decades, many researchers have investigated the mechanisms of action and the therapeutic use of essential oils as physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. This review, highlights on some sacred essential oils extracted from important traditional medicinal plants that possesses several pharmacological properties, considering that the safety and versatility of this these supplement should allow for its use in numerous pathological conditions.

“…Tunisia and Corsica EOs have variation in the main constituents of α-pinene (51.2-52.9% verses 53.5-56.7%), 1,8-cineole (24.1-24.7% verses 18.8-21.3%) and limonene (6.1-7.3% verses 5.0-5.2%). The principal constituents in the Moroccan and coast of Montenegro EOs were 1,8-cineole (32.5-37.5%) and myrtenyl-acetate (14.8-21.1%), though myrtenyl-acetate was present in minute amounts (0.1-0.3% verses 0.8%) (21,22). The 1,8 cineole (55.09%) and α-pinene (33.14%) were predominant components of another Tunisian myrtle EO, while lacking myrtenyl acetate (23)(24)(25).…”

“…The major components of myrtle essential oil are myrtenyl-acetate, 1,8-cineole, α-pinene, limonene, whose concentration varies among the M. communis plants from different origins. The main components of Spanish myrtle essential oil are myrtenyl-acetate (>30.0%) and α-pinene (< 8.50%) (20), while Algerian wild myrtle EO is rich in myrtenyl-acetate (38.7%), α-pinene (13.7%), 1,8-cineole (12.7%), and linalool (7.00%) (21). The chemical composition of EOs of M. communis from different regions of the Mediterranean area is highly variable.…”

Myrtus communis L., commonly known as true myrtle, is a medicinal plant native to the Mediterranean area. Since ancient times inhabitants of this area have been using it for its cultural and medicinal properties. Due to the high content of essential oil in its flowers, leaves and fruits, M. communis is an important medicinal and aromatic species from Myrtaceae family. Because of the presence of vast diversity of biomolecules in its aerial parts, it exhibits several biological properties of antioxidant, antimicrobial and anticancer. There has been increasing scientific interest in the field to understand the pleotropic effects of its extracts or essential oils on various ailments and diseases. This purpose of this review is to summarizes the chemical composition, traditional uses, and biological activities of M. communis L. leaves documented in numerous recent studies.
