  • Phenolic Composition of Some Tunisian Medicinal Plants Associated with Anti-Proliferative Effect on Human Breast Cancer MCF-7 Cells
    The EuroBiotech Journal RESEARCH ARTICLE Pharmaceutical Biotechnology Phenolic composition of some Tunisian medicinal plants associated with anti-proliferative effect on human breast cancer MCF-7 cells Hanen Najjaa1*§, Ben Arfa Abdelkarim1§, Enrico Doria2, Abdelbasset Boubakri1, Najla Trabelsi3, Hanen Falleh3, Hajer Tlili1 and Mohamed Neffati1 Abstract Plants have been seen to possess the potential to be excellent biological matrices to serve as a basis for investigating the presence of promising therapeutic agents for cancer treatment. Several successful anti-cancer medicines - or their analogues - nowadays in use are plant derived and many more are under clinical trials. Under current circumstances, the purpose of this work was to test aqueous and ethanolic extracts of five aromatic and medicinal plants from arid zones on some tumor cell lines. These plants, Cymbopogon schoenanthus (L.) Spreng, Crithmum maritimum (L.) Spreng, Hammada scoparia (Pomel) Iljin, Retama raetam (Forssk.) and Zizyphus lotus (L.) Desf., widely used in Tunisian ethnomedicine, were assessed for their phenolic compounds, antioxidants and anticancer activities in aqueous and ethanol extracts. Total polyphenols, flavonoid and tannin contents were determined colorimetrically and some of these molecules were identified using RP-HPLC. A significant difference on phenolic contents and composition were found among the investigated plants.Cymbopogon schoenanthus was the richest in phenolic compounds (approx. 72%) with quercetine-3-o-rhamnoside (approx. 33%) as main contributor. For all the tested plants, the highest antioxidant capacity was detected in the ethanolic extracts rather than in the aqueous ones. The highest antiproliferative potential was observed for the ethanolic extracts. Hammada scoparia, Retama raetam and Zizyphus lotus exhibited important antiproliferative effect that reached 67% at a 1% extract concentration.

WEBB. SCARIFIED WITH SULFURIC ACID Z. Mehdadi*, F. Z. Bendimered, M. Dadach and A. Aisset University of Djillali Liabes, Faculty of natural sciences and life, Laboratory of plant biodiversity: conservation and valorization, Sidi Bel Abbes, 22000, Algeria Received: 19 November 2016 / Accepted: 20 July 2017 / Published online: 01 Septemer 2017 ABSTRACT The present study consists of the elimination of tegumentary inhibition affecting seeds of Retama raetam by the chemical scarification. This pretreatment was carried out using pure sulfuric acid (98 %) and the seeds' germinative behavior was studied in the laboratory under controlled conditions of temperature and salinity. The results reveal that the chemical scarification by the sulfuric acid during six hours, had favored the germination of seeds which were incapable of germinating. The thermal optimum of germination expressed by the highest germination capacities and speeds as well as the shortest average times of germination and latency times corresponded to 20 °C and 25 °C. At low temperatures (0 °C and 5 °C) and high temperatures (35 °C and 40 °C), the germination was not possible.The seeds of R. raetam are sensitive to salinity, when the NaCl concentration increases the rate of germination decreases. The threshold of tolerance was recorded at 272 mM, from which the germination was inhibited. Key words: Retama raetam; chemical scarification; germination; temperature; salinity.

  • A Survey on the Aromatic Plants of Libya
    Original Article A Survey on the Aromatic Plants of Libya Najat Agiel1, 2, Filiz Mericli1* 1Near East University, Faculty of Pharmacy, Department of Pharmacognosy, Nicosia – Northern CYPRUS. 2University of Tripoli, Faculty of Education, Department of Biology, LIBYA. ABSTRACT Objectives: The aim of this study is to investigate on some aromatic plants growing in Libya, their major volatile oils contents and traditional uses, indicating dangerous hazards facing plant biodiversity especially medicinal plants and measures taken to protect them. Methods: The study is mainly based on electronic database survey using Scopus, PubMed, and Science Direct, etc. and communication with Libyan local inhabitants of some areas. Gathered information has been evaluated and summarized in tables. Results: Aromatic plant of 41 species has been mentioned of medicinal value represented by 14 plant families and 29 genera. Three aromatic plant species growing in Libya are not recognized and used by Libyans. Endemic species are mentioned; Origanum cyrenaicum, Teucrium zononii and Ballota andreuzziana. Conclusions: Even though Libya remains as one of the most biologically diverse countries in the Mediterranean region, scarce information about aromatic medicinal plants could be found. Libya is also suffering from extreme biodiversity destruction and degradation due to Sahara expenses and climate changes and other reasons. To deal with the problem IUCN Centre for Mediterranean Cooperation has made a mission in Libya to promote projects. Keywords: Aromatic Plants, Volatile Oils, Traditional Uses, Endemic Species, IUCN Missions. INTRODUCTION DOI: 10.5530/ijper.51.3s.35 Correspondence: Libya is a country in the Maghreb region aim of this investigation is to highlight on Filiz Mericli, Near East University, Faculty of North Africa.

The Most Merciful. The Most Compassionate. It gives me great pleasure and honour to write the foreword to this very important and eagerly awaited piece of work, The Plants of Jordan: an annotated checklist. The Royal Botanic Garden at Tal Al-Rumman in Jordan was specifically founded to conserve Jordan’s native plants, and showcase them to the public in such a way that they would be revered and respected. However, it quickly became apparent that a large proportion of the information needed to develop the Garden was quite fragmented and insufficient or missing entirely. Thus, as a first step in achieving the overarching goal of RBG, it was imperative that RBG gathers all available data in order to begin the documentation process that would facilitate the identification and prioritization of propagation of the plants needed to establish the Garden. This process was quite painstakingly slow, as the data was dispersed across the globe and some of which was held in old archival herbarium specimens. Thus, the information had to be repatriated, cross referenced and analysed before making it final.

Box 5466, Aleppo - Syria 2Agricultural Research Center (ARC) - El Baida, P.O. Box 395 - Libya Louhaichi, M., Salkini, A.K., Estita, H.E., and Belkhir, S.; Initial Assessment of Medicinal Plants across the Libyan Mediterranean Coast ABSTRACT The medicinal plants of the Libyan Mediterranean Coast represent an opportunity to reduce rural poverty in the arid and semi-arid ecosystems due to their water use efficiency, low costs of collection and cultivation, high economic returns per unit area, and the creation of new jobs within the value-added activities of processing and marketing. However, major medicinal plants in the region are in danger of extinction due to global climate change, overgrazing, uprooting, and wood cutting. Mitigating this depletion of biodiversity along the Libyan Coast requires: 1) ex-situ conservation of important plant genetic resources in the national genebank; 2) establishment of field genebanks in the two major agro-ecological zones; and 3) conservation of selected specimen in the national herbarium. During the spring and summer of 2009 and 2010 collection missions were conducted along the Libyan Mediterranean coast. The field visits occurred, and surveyed a total of 79 sites across the western and eastern coastal areas of Libya. The collection mission recorded a total of 151 species belonging to 47 families, the most dominant of which were Chenopodiaceae (20 %) followed by Fabaceae (13 %).
