“…The essential oil yield of R. chalepensis from Oulmes (2.72%) was higher than that obtained by the same species collected from other regions, either in Morocco (1%) [ 24 ] or in central Tunisia (0.87%) [ 25 ] or that growing in the wild in Algeria (0.9%) [ 26 ]. The main compounds of the essential oil studied were 2-undecanone (64.35%), piperonyl piperazine (11.9%), 2-decanaone (5.12%), 2-dodecanone (4.52%), decipidone (3.9%), and 2-tridecanone (2.36%).…”

“…The comparison of the results obtained with those of other studies on the same species but with different origins shows a difference in composition, more quantitatively than qualitatively. Indeed, for Ruta chalepensis L. growing in the wild in Tunisia, three main constituents have been reported: 2-undecanone (25.94%), 5-dodecanone acetate (9.35%), and 2-decanone (2.42%) [ 25 ]. Similarly, the work undertaken by [ 27 ] has shown that the essential oil of Ruta chalepensis collected from the north of Tunisia contains 2-undecanone (77.18%), 2-decanone (8.96%), and 2-dodecanone (2.37%) as major constituents.…”

“…Moreover, Ruta chalepensis L. is characterized by its broad spectrum of action; in fact, other studies have shown a repellent effect of the essential oil of Ruta chalepensis L. against other types of insects belonging to the same genus of Tribolium such as Tribolium confusum [ 25 ] or other species such as Rhyzopertha dominica belonging to another genus [ 32 ].…”

“…The neurotoxic modes of action on insects are mainly linked to the enzymatic activity of acetylcholinesterase [ 41 ]. For their part, studies carried out on the effects of the essential oil of Ruta chalepensis L. on the species of the genus Tribolium such as Tribolium confusum have shown that it induces glutathione S-transferases and reduces the activity of the acetylcholinesterase [ 25 ]. The glutathione S-transferases are involved in insecticide resistance [ 42 ] and play a role in the metabolism of organophosphorus and organochlorine compounds [ 43 ].…”

“…The glutathione S-transferases are involved in insecticide resistance [ 42 ] and play a role in the metabolism of organophosphorus and organochlorine compounds [ 43 ]. The reduction of the acetylcholinesterase by many neurotoxicants causes the accumulation of acetylcholine in the synaptic space which maintains a permanent transmission of nerve impulses; the action of the essential oil of Ruta chalepensis L. is manifested by convulsions, lack of coordination of movements and tremors [ 25 ].…”

Chemical pesticides used against insect pests of stored food have adverse effects on both health and the environment. So, the present study aims to evaluate the insect repulsive and insecticidal power of Ruta chalepensis L. essential oil (EO) from the region of Oulmes (Central plateau of Morocco); the ultimate objective is to develop a biological and ecological control strategy against pests. Thus, the EO obtained by hydrodistillation from the aerial parts of Ruta chalepensis L. was identified by GC-MS; its repellent and fumigant toxicity effects on adults of Tribolium castaneum Herbst were, respectively, investigated by the preferential area method on a filter paper and the inhalation test. The insecticide power was estimated by determining the percentage of mortality as a function of the duration of exposure and concentration of the EO. The essential oil obtained is characterized by the dominance of 2-undecanone (64.35%), piperonyl piperazine (11.9%), 2-decanaone (5.12%), 2-dodecanone (4.52%), decipidone (3.9%,) and 2-tridecanone (2.36%). This EO is endowed with a very repulsive power belonging to class V, which is strongly due to its majority compound 2-undecanone. The dose 0.038 μl/ml gave a repellent power of 100% after 15 min. The tests also revealed a considerable insecticidal effect, which reached 100% after 48 hours at a dose of 0.62 μl/ml. The calculation of the lethal dose causing 50% mortality (LD50) and the lethal times after which there is 50% mortality (LT50) allowed deducing that the insecticidal effect of Ruta chalepensis L. is time- and dose-dependent. Hence, the effectiveness of Ruta chalepensis L. EO attests that it can constitute a healthy alternative to fight against Tribolium castaneum Herbst.

Tamarindus indica is one of the tropical medicinal plants that has been attributed curative potential of numerous diseases by many rural dwellers. This study was designed to evaluate the antioxidant, antibacterial activities and also to determine the various chemical constituents responsible for its pharmacological activities. The methanol extract of Tamarindus indica fruit pulp was analyzed by Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectrometer to determine the volatile compounds present. The antioxidant activities were performed using DPPH and FRAP method and the antibacterial activity was tested against some common pathogens by macro broth dilution method. The GCMS analysis shows the presence of 37 compounds, out of which 14 had their peak area percentages ≥ 1% and only two compounds had no reported pharmacological activities. Most of the bioactive compounds including 5-Hydroxymethylfurfural (31.06%)-3-O-Methyl-d-glucose (16.31%), 1,6-anhydro-β-D-Glucopyranose (9.95%), 5-methyl-Furancarboxaldehyde (3.2%), Triethylenediamine (1.17%), 1-(2-furanyl)-1-Propcanone (2.18%), Methyl 2-furoate (3.14%), Levoglucosenone (3.21%), methyl ester-Hepta-2,4-dienoic acid, (8.85%), 2,3-dihydro-3,5-dihydrox-4H-Pyran-4-one (3.4%), O-α-D-glucopyranosyl-(1.fwdarw.3)-β-D-fructofuranosyl-α-D-Glucopyranoside (2.18%), n-Hexadecanoic acid (1.38%), 2-Heptanol, acetate (1.29%), 5-[(5-methyl-2-fur-2-Furancarboxaldehyde (1.08%), 3-Methyl-2-furoic acid (1.05%) and cis-Vaccenic acid (2.85%)have been reported with different activities such as antibacterial, antifungal, antitubercular, anticancer, antioxidant and other prophylactic activities. The extract demonstrated inhibitory potential against all tested pathogen. However, Plesiomonas shigellosis ATCC 15903 and Bacillus pumillus ATCC 14884 are more sensitive with the MIC of 0.22 and 0.44 mg/ml respectively. The antioxidant activity was relatively low due to the low phenolic content of the extract. This shows that there is a strong correlation between antioxidant activities and phenolic content. GC–MS analysis revealed the presence of bioactive phytoconstituents with various biological activities and this justifies the rationale behind its usage as a curative therapy by many local dwellers.
