Extraction, isolation, structure elucidation and evaluation of toxicity, anti-inflammatory and analgesic activity of Pituranthos scoparius constituents
The present work aimed to investigate an ethnobotanical survey about Pituranthos scoparius and assess the toxicity, anti-inflammatory (in vitro, and in vivo) potential, in vitro antioxidant, and analgesic effects of stems and roots of Pituranthos scoparius. Furthermore; to isolate and elucidate the chemical constituents of the n-butanol stem extract of P. scoparius (ButE) and determine the toxicity and anti-inflammatory effects of these compounds added to the ButE. Data from an ethnopharmacological study showed that 24.47 % of people used this plant in folk medicine. Four compounds were isolated from ButE. These compounds were characterized by means of NMR and high-resolution mass spectral (HRMS) data.
