Natural compounds are an important source of desired biological activity which help to improve nutritional status, enhance productivity and bring many health benefits. The leaves of the Ilex paraguariensis (Aquifoliaceae) are used for preparing a beverage known as yerba mate and represent a proven source of natural polyphenols which are known to foster biological activity with the emphasis on antioxidant properties. In present work we focused on the polyphenolic content of air-dried leaves of Ilex aquifolium L., Ilex aquifolium ‘Argentea Mariginata’, Ilex meserveae ‘Blue Angel’, and a commercially available mate as the reference product. Liquid chromatography combined with mass spectrometry (HPLC and LC-MS) and thin layer chromatography (TLC), were used to establish polyphenolic substances content in aqueous methanolic extracts obtained from the biological matter. Up to 20 polyphenolic compounds were identified in the extracts, including rutin, quinic acid and its caffeoyl esters, i.e. chlorogenic acid and its isomers as well as dicaffeoyl derivatives. We took chlorogenic acid and rutin as reference compounds to quantify their levels in the extracts. It was determined that in all tested plants, high levels of these antioxidants were present. This led us to the conclusion that their leaves might serve as valuable food additives.

This study analyzed chemical composition of the essential oils (EOs) of Thymus vulgaris L., harvested in two regions of northwest Algeria (Tlemcen and Mostaganem), and evaluated their antimicrobial and cytotoxic activity. Fifty one compounds representing 99.99% and 100% of total thyme oil of Mostaganem (EO.TM) and Tlemcen (EO.TT), respectively were identified by GC-FID and GC-MS. Carvacrol was a dominant compound in both oils (89.15 and 82.42%). The antimicrobial activity, demonstrated by disc diffusion and broth macrodilution methods, showed a strong inhibitory effect of the oils on seven reference strains tested and particularly on Bacillus cereus ATCC 10876 and Candida albicans ATCC 10231. A cytotoxicity assay for two normal and two cancer cell lines indicated the highest sensitivity of canine B-cell lymphoma cell line (CLBL-1) for which IC50 values were 35.39 ± 9.0 (EO.TT) and 84.51± 3.2 (EO.TM). Murine fibroblast cell line (3T3), with IC50 116.97 ± 2.7 for EO.TT and 146.29 ± 0.5 for EO.TM was the most resistant line.
