Abstract
The new cyclic polyketide 7,9,11-trihydroxytetracos-2-eneoic acid δ-lactone (1), together with other eleven known compounds, were isolated from Ononis spinosa, growing wildly in Jordan. All isolated compounds were identified by thorough investigation of their spectral data including NMR and HRESIMS. Antioxidant activity testing of puerol B, specionin and the new cyclic polyketide revealed that puerol B had the highest DPPH radical scavenging activity (IC50 0.09 ± 0.006 mg/ml) as compared to α-tocopherol (IC50 0.039 ± 0.0006 mg/ml), while specionin had the highest ABTS radical scavenging power (IC50 0.013 ± 0.0008 mg/ml) as compared to α-tocopherol and ascorbic acid (IC50 0.042 ± 0.0004; 0.026 ± 0 .0007 mg/ml; respectively).

Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE Pituranthos scoparius is a medicinal plant belonging to the Apiaceae family. It thrives in North Africa, and is widely distributed in the high plateau of most parts of the Sahara in Algeria. This plant is widely used in the Algerian traditional medicine to treat numerous infectious diseases, dermatoses, nervous breakdowns, digestive disorders, and calm abdominal pain. AIM OF THE STUDY The aim of the present work was to examine the ethnomedicinal uses of Pituranthos scoparius in Setif region, Algeria, isolate and identify the chemical constituents of the n-butanol stem extract of P. scoparius (BEPS), and to determine the toxicity and anti-inflammatory effects of these compounds in addition to the extract. MATERIALS AND METHODS The anti-inflammatory effects of BEPS and the four compounds isolated from the extract were evaluated using the in vitro protein denaturation assay, whereas the topical anti-inflammatory activity was assessed using the croton oil-induced ear edema in mice. Toxicity was determined based on assessment of in vitro cytotoxicity using hemolytic activity against human red blood cells (RBCs). RESULTS Four compounds, identified as the rare isorhamnetin-3-O-β-apiofuranosyl (1 → 2)-β glucopyranoside (2), in addition to three known compounds, namely isorhamnetin-3-O-β-glucoside (1), D-mannitol (3), and isorhamnetin-3-O-β-glucopyranosyl-(1 → 6)-β-glucopyranoside (4) were isolated from BEPS. These compounds were characterized by means of NMR and high-resolution mass spectral (HRMS) data. These four compounds were isolated for the first time from this traditional Algerian medicinal plant. Screening of the extract indicated the presence of alkaloids, polyphenols, flavonoids, free quinones, coumarins and tannins. Topical anti-inflammatory effect showed that the four isolated compounds, as well as BEPS, exhibit a significant (p < 0.05) dose-dependent (0.5 and 1 mg/ear) anti-inflammatory effect. At a dose of 1 mg/ear, compounds 1, 2, and 4, exhibited remarkable anti-inflammatory effect with a percentage inhibition of 85.50 ± 2.78, 79.78 ± 4.68, and 75.78 ± 2.98%, respectively. Results from in vitro cytotoxicity showed that the % lysis of the extract, along with isolated compounds was found to be virtually nontoxic. CONCLUSIONS These results suggest that BEPS and isolated compounds are safe, nontoxic, and exert remarkable anti-inflammatory effects, and can be new sources of natural anti-inflammatory agents.

Abstract
The aroma emitted from the different organs of two Salvia verbenaca L. populations from Jordan were extracted by Solid Phase Micro-Extraction (SPME) and then analyzed by GC/MS. The emission profile of the stem, leaf and sepal samples from the Mediterranean zone (Al-Salt) was dominated by monoterpene hydrocarbons (68.0 %, 33.7 %, and 42.2 %, respectively). The emission profile of flowering parts including pre-flowering buds, fully expanded flowers and petals was dominated by oxygenated monoterpenes (58.6 %, 59.3 % and 87.1 %, respectively). The major constituent detected in these organs was trans-sabinene hydrate acetate (range 14.5 %-87.0 %). On the other hand, samples collected from Irano-Turanian zone showed different emission patterns. While the stems, leaves and petal emissions were dominated by sesquiterpene hydrocarbons (54.9 %, 76.8 % and 52.6 %, respectively), monoterpene hydrocarbons dominated the emission profiles of the pre-flowering buds (75.1 %) and fully expanded flowers (73.6 %). Petals emissions were characterized by high concentrations of oxygenated monoterpenes (58.8 %). Notably, trans-sabinene hydrate dominated most organs emissions except for leaves (range 20.0 %-58.8 %). Principle Component Analysis (PCA) and Cluster Analysis (CA) revealed two different clusters related to the two different geographical zones. The current investigation revealed two ecotypes of S. verbenaca that could result in two different chemotypes. Trans-sabinene hydrate acetate and trans-sabinene hydrate are suggested compounds for identifying these two chemotypes.

Abstract
Twenty-two alkaloids, were isolated from Fumaria densiflora. Two of these alkaloids, N-methyl-5-hydroxystylopine chloride and fumaricine N-oxide, were isolated for the first time from natural sources. Parfumine and fumaritine, in concentrations ranging from 3 × 10-7 to 9 × 10-4 M, caused concentration-dependent relaxation of ileum longitudinal segment. Also, parfumine and fumaritine in concentrations ranging from 3 × 10-4 to 9 × 10-2 M, caused concentration - dependent decrease in heart rate of the isolated perfused heart. A concentration of parfumine of 3 × 10-2 M increased but a higher concentration (9 × 10-2 M) decreased the amplitude of contraction of the isolated perfused heart. On the other hand, fumaritine, in concentrations ranging from 3 × 10-4 to 3 × 10-2 M, caused concentration - dependent increase, but a higher concentration (9 × 10-2 M) caused a decrease in the amplitude of contraction of the isolated perfused heart.[Formula: see text].

Abstract
In this investigation, the screening of two furanocoumarins; 5,8- dimethoxypsoralen (1) and heraclinin (2), isolated from the methanol root-extracts of Tamus communis L for their antioxidant activity and xanthine oxidase inhibitory effect was carried out, using different assays such as DPPH free radical scavenging effect, β- carotene / linoleic acid, xanthine oxidase (XO) inhibition and in addition to blood total antioxidant capacity. Results revealed that the two compounds have significant DPPH radical scavenging activity and effective inhibition of linoleic acid oxidation in a dose-dependent manner; 5,8-dimethoxypsoralen exhibited the highest activity with an I% = 72.69 ± 1.88%. These results indicate that the isolated compounds inhibit xanthine oxidase activity and scavenge superoxide radicals with heraclinin (2) as the more potent xanthine oxidase inhibitor, and 5,8-dimethoxypsoralen (1) as the more effective on cytochrome c reduction, the two tested compounds can effectively protect erythrocytes against hemolytic injury induced by AAPH. These results are promising for further studies of the biological and pathological effects of these natural products.

Abstract
Inula graveolens is a poisonous annual plant of Mediterranean origin. The invasive nature of the plant suggests that it may possess phytotoxic activity. The aim of this study was to assess the ability of I. graveolens to inhibit the growth of different plants in Petri dish and to identify the main bioactive compounds. Bio-guided fractionation of the plant extracts led to the isolation of 2,3,11β,13-tetrahydroaromaticin (THA) and ilicic acid. Both compounds showed selective and significant phytotoxic activity at 25 ppm. Root length of barley, oat, millet, tuberous canary grass and lentils were significantly reduced by 25 ppm of THA, while the root of cauliflower, cress and radish were similarly reduced by ilicic acid at 25 ppm. The structure of each compound was elucidated by using NMR and HR-MS. X-ray crystallography of THA is reported for the first time to confirm the relative stereochemistry of the compound.

Abstract
Investigation of the butanol fraction of Salvia palaestina Benth. from Jordanian origin resulted in the isolation and characterization of nine compounds, three of which are reported here for the first time in Nature. These compounds included the two phenolics: salpalaestinin (1), methyl 3-O-methylrosmarinate (3) and the flavonoid luteolin 7-O-(2″-p-hydroxybenzoyl)-β-glucuronide) (8). In addition, 3,4-dihydroxyphenyl caffeate (2), diosmetin (4), apigenin-7-O-(6″-butyryl-β-glucopyranoside) (5), luteolin-3'-O-methyl-7-O-(6″-butyryl-β-glucopyranoside) (6) and clinopodic acid B (7) were also obtained from the butanol fraction of the plant. The structures of the isolated compounds were elucidated by different spectroscopic methods including NMR (1D and 2D), UV, IR and MS (HRESIMS and EIMS). The DPPH radical scavenging activity for compounds 1, 3, 5, 6 &8 was evaluated. Compound 3 had the highest antioxidant activity (91.9±1.30% inhibition) with an IC₅₀ value of 1.0±0.23(μg/mL).

In the title compound, C(17)H(13)NO(2), the dihedral angle between the plane of the carb-oxy group and the quinoline mean plane is 45.05 (13)°, and that between the toluene ring mean plane and the quinoline mean plane is 25.29 (7)°. In the crystal, molecules are linked via O-H⋯.N hydrogen bonds, forming chains propagating along the b-axis direction. These chain are linked via C-H⋯O interactions, forming two-dimensional networks lying parallel to the ab plane.

Abstract
The antiproliferative and antimicrobial effects of thirteen compounds isolated from Inula viscosa (L.) were tested in this study. The antiproliferative activity was tested against three cell lines using the MTT assay. The microdilution method was used to study the antimicrobial activity against two Gram positive bacteria, two Gram negative bacteria and one fungus. The apoptotic activity was determined using a TUNEL colorimetric assay. Scanning electron microscopy was used to study the morphological changes in treated cancer cells and bacteria. Antiproliferative activity was observed in four flavonoids (nepetin, 3,3′-di-O-methylquercetin, hispidulin, and 3-O-methylquercetin). 3,3′-di-O-Methylquercetin and 3-O-methylquercetin showed selective antiproliferative activity against MCF-7 cells, with IC50 values of 10.11 and 11.23 µg/mL, respectively. Both compounds exert their antiproliferative effect by inducing apoptosis as indicted by the presence of DNA fragmentation, nuclear condensation, and formation of apoptotic bodies in treated cancer cells. The antimicrobial effect of Inula viscosa were also noticed in 3,3′-di-O-methylquercetin and 3-O-methyquercetin that inhibited Bacillus cereus at MIC of 62.5 and 125 µg/mL, respectively. Salmonella typhimurium was inhibited by both compounds at MIC of 125 µg/mL. 3,3′-di-O-Methylquercetin induced damage in bacterial cell walls and cytoplasmic membranes. Methylated quercetins isolated from Inula viscosa have improved anticancer and antimicrobial properties compared with other flavonoids and are promising as potential anticancer and antimicrobial agents.

Abstract
Phytochemical investigation of Osyris alba L. (Santalaceae) of Jordanian origin resulted in the isolation and identification of one new pyrrolizidine alkaloid, osyrisine (1), together with 16 other known compounds. The structures of all compounds were established on the basis of spectroscopic analysis. Osyrisine, catechin, and catechin-3-O-α-L-rhamnopyranoside exhibited a significant level of antiparasitic activity against two parasites, Entamoeba histolytica and Giardia intestinalis.

Abstract
3-Amino-3-deoxy sugars [1] are essential substructures of a wide variety of biologically active natural products exemplified in aminocyclitols, [2] macrolides [3] or anthracyclin antibiotics [4], With this respect, the transformations of common and readily available carbohydrates are of special interest. In this communication we want to line out a short route for the incorporation of a vicinal cis hydroxyl-amino function in the pyranose moiety.
