“…In herbal remedies, M. longifolia L. was reported as an important crop widely consumed due to its healthpromoting properties, for the treatment of many infectious and in ammatory diseases as well as for respiratory and gastrointestinal disorders (Farzaei et al, 2017). Therefore, many bioactive molecules present in M. longifolia are in part responsible for these consequent therapeutic bene ts.…”

“…As well, the phytochemical characterization of this medicinal plant revealed a vast variety of natural components that have been suggested to be responsible for the pharmacological potent of M. longifolia. These molecules include avonoids, terpenoids, phenolic acids, sesquiterpenes cinnamates, and ceramides, (Farzaei et al, 2017). As a result, various pharmacological investigations for M. longifolia extracts have been con rmed their potential effects, as antioxidant (Bahadori et al, 2018), anti-in ammatory (Karimian et al, 2013), anti-parasitic (Farzaei et al, 2017), cytotoxic and antimicrobial (Elansary et al, 2020) agents.…”

Moreover, is has been shown that avonoids from M. longifolia such luteolin-7-O-glycoside, luteolin-7,3'-O-diglycoside, quercetin-3-O-glycoside and kaempferol-3-O-glycoside are potent inhibitors of some microorganisms that may be causal agents of human urinary, intestinal and respiratory tract infections (Bendjeddou et al, 2009).…”

Abstract In the present study, we investigated natural compounds contained in Moroccan medicinal plants and that might be used as natural inhibitors of the novel coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2, that causes coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). We first performed a literature search for natural inhibitors of SARS or MERS coronaviruses. We then selected natural compounds that have been biologically tested and confirmed to possess anti-coronavirus activity. Subsequently, we used a molecular docking to determine whether the selected molecules could interact with the virus proteins. The compounds selected from virtual screening were then subjected to an in-silico analysis of absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion (ADME) properties to select only natural compounds that could be orally bioavailable. Thereafter, a second search has been launched to select Moroccan medicinal plants that contain at least 3 molecules from those natural compounds. As results, among 41 natural inhibitors of SARS or MERS coronaviruses, only 13 have been successfully passed the ADME filtering. These molecules, showed abilities to interact with the novel coronavirus as it was predicted. Using these molecules and based on the data extracted from literature, 29 Moroccan medicinal plants have been found to contain at least 3 of these coronavirus inhibitors. Therefore, the medicinal plants selected in this study might contain direct anti-SARS-CoV-2 compounds.

A recent review of Farzaei et al (2017) provides ethnopharmacological data in the aforementioned regions, with a wide variety of traditional indications. Beside collection, M. longifolia is reported to be cultivated in Tunisia (Hajlaoui et al 2009) and its intraspecific taxon M. longifolia var.…”

Horsemint as a potential raw material for the food industry: survey on the chemistry of a less studied mint species

Horsemint (Mentha longifolia L), is wild-growing species, widespread in Eurasia and Africa. The review focuses on its potential utilization as a preservative and flavoring in the food industry based on the polyphenolic and terpenoid composition. Several phenolic antioxidants were detected in horsemint, among which rosmarinic acid may have a key role. Nineteen other acids, and fifty-five flavonoids (six which are de novo) were also identified. The antiradical efficacy in horsemint extract has not yet been adequately justified. Similarly, systematic screening of the flavonoid composition of the species is lacking. Horsemint essential oils possesses an outstandingly wide variability in composition which may serve as basis of special flavoring or antimicrobial agents. The efficacy of horsemint volatiles have been demonstrated against more than twenty microbes. As current literature of horsemint lacks comparable results, the present review provides the broadest and therefore, a critical overview, on its most important secondary compounds and the factors influencing their accumulation.
