This study was carried out to evaluate the in vitro antioxidant activity and chemical composition of essential oils organic extracts Moroccan Tetraclinis articulata cones (Khemisset region). The GC–MS analysis identified a total 23 volatile components. major constituents oil were ?-pinene (18.33%), cis-verbenone (10.02%), L-pinocarveol (8. 32%). For phytosterols hexane extract, ?-sitosterol con...

Abstract Some tree species have distributions on both sides of the Strait Gibraltar and Sicily. It is a challenge to determine whether such result from Tertiary or Pleistocene more recent dispersal related human activities. Tetraclinis articulata (Cupressaceae) gymnosperm that offers an ideal model deal with this problem because it has limited area distribution been used only moderately by huma...

Hydro-distilled essential oil (EO) from the leaves of the western Mediterranean and Moroccan endemic plant Tetraclinis articulata was analyzed by GC/MS and examined for its acute toxicity on mice, in order to establish the safe doses. Furthermore, the anti-Inflammatory activity was evaluated based on carrageenan and trauma induced rats paw edema and the antioxidant potential has been investigat...

In the present study, three techniques of extraction: hydrodistillation (HD), solvent extraction (conventional 'Soxhlet' technique) and an innovative technique, i.e., the supercritical fluid extraction (SFE), were applied to ground Tetraclinis articulata leaves and compared for extraction duration, extraction yield, and chemical composition of the extracts as well as their antioxidant activitie...
