Abstract
Arbutus unedo L., the strawberry tree (Ericaceae family), is an endemic Mediterranean species. Its leaves have been employed for a long time in traditional and popular medicine as an astringent, diuretic, urinary anti-septic, and more recently, in the therapy of hypertension and diabetes [1]. The aim of this work is to evaluate the antioxidant properties of a hydroethanolic extract of A. unedo leaves in a neurodegeneration cell model and the inhibitory activity to human matrix metalloprotease (MMP-9), an enzyme involved in cancer invasion.
