Abstract: Our work was part of the search for new active molecules in the inflammatory process to relieve pain more effectively. Erythroxylum emarginatum is a plant distributed in tropical regions of South America, Africa, and Madagascar. The phytochemical screening has shown that the bark of stems contained more full of polyphenols than the leaves. Erythroxylum emarginatum is known for its anti-inflammatory properties, its use in the treatment of bronchial affections and especially during asthma. The comparative study of Erythroxylum emarginatum bark of stems aqueous and ethanolic extracts with diclofenac on induced inflammation of rat paw by carrageenan revealed anti-inflammatory properties of both extracts.......

Abstract: Background: Myrtus communis L. (MC) is widely used as an antidiabetic plant in folk medicine. This study aimed to analyze the possible antidiabetic and hepatoprotective effects of MC berries in streptozotocin (STZ)- induced diabetic rats. Methods: The study used a total of 30 rats in 6 groups of 5. DM was induced with a single injection of 40 mg/kg STZ, after which 3 of the groups were administered 250, 500 or 1000 mg/kg aqueous extract of MC berries by oral gavage for 14 days. Alanine aminotransferase (ALT), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) levels were determined in the serum and glutathione (GSH), malondialdehyde (MDA) levels and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity were determined in the liver tissue of the rats........
