Myrtucommulone (MC), a nonprenylated acylphloroglucinol contained in the leaves of myrtle (Myrtus communis), has been reported to suppress the biosynthesis of eicosanoids by inhibition of 5-lipoxygenase and cyclooxygenase-1 in vitro and to inhibit the release of elastase and the formation of reactive oxygen species in activated polymorphonuclear leukocytes. Here, in view of the ability of MC to...

A simple, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly method for making green nanoparticles has been developed. The current study examines the use of M. communis leaves extract in biosynthesis copper (CuNPs). color change UV-visible spectrophotometer, which showed a distinct peak at 481nm, confirmed formation these particles. Different techniques were used to characterize nanoparticles. influe...

Oregano is one of the most used culinary herb and it often adulterated with cheaper plants. In this study, GC?MS was for identification quantification metabolites from 104 samples oregano (Origanum vulgare O. onites) olive (Olea europaea), venetian sumac (Cotinus coggygria) myrtle (Myrtus communis) leaves, at five different concentration levels. The metabolomics profiles obtained after two-step...
