Indigenous to Lebanon, L. and D.C. are notable plants in the Middle East, with known for its aromatic qualities and being less explored. Both plants have a significant role in traditional medicine for treating various ailments. This study aimed to evaluate the phytochemical composition and biological properties of the extracts from these plants. The extracts were obtained through cold maceration with solvents of increasing polarity. The ethyl acetate extract of exhibited the highest total polyphenol content. High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) identified fifteen compounds in both and extracts, whereas gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis unveiled 179 volatile compounds. Notably, the -MeOH extract showed moderate antioxidant activity. Both plants' methanolic extracts demonstrated significant anti-Alzheimer's potential. The -dichloromethane and -cyclohexane extracts displayed the highest cytotoxicities against the HCT-116 cell line. For anti-proliferative activity against the Caco-2 cell line, the -methanol and -cyclohexane extracts were the most effective. This study provides valuable insights into the phytochemistry and potential therapeutic applications of extracts from these two oriental plant species.
L. 和 D.C. 原产于黎巴嫩,是中东地区著名的植物,以其芳香特性而闻名,但研究较少。这两种植物在传统医学中对治疗各种疾病都有重要作用。本研究旨在评估这些植物提取物的植物化学成分和生物学特性。提取物通过用极性递增的溶剂进行冷浸法获得。L. 的乙酸乙酯提取物总多酚含量最高。高效液相色谱法(HPLC)在 L. 和 D.C. 的提取物中均鉴定出15种化合物,而气相色谱 - 质谱联用(GC - MS)分析揭示了179种挥发性化合物。值得注意的是,L. - MeOH提取物表现出中等抗氧化活性。两种植物的甲醇提取物均显示出显著的抗阿尔茨海默病潜力。L. - 二氯甲烷和 L. - 环己烷提取物对HCT - 116细胞系显示出最高的细胞毒性。对于对Caco - 2细胞系的抗增殖活性,L. - 甲醇和 L. - 环己烷提取物最为有效。本研究为这两种东方植物物种提取物的植物化学和潜在治疗应用提供了有价值的见解。
