Abstract

ABSTRACT The chemical composition and anti-inflammatory, antihemolytic, antioxidant, and antibacterial activities of solvent extracts of Thymus algeriensis in petroleum ether, chloroform, and n-butanol were evaluated. Ten compounds including four flavonoids, four phenolics, and two triterpenoids were isolated and identified by chromatography and spectroscopy. The n-butanol extract had the greatest antioxidant activity and inhibited hemolysis with a value of IC50 at 322.85 ± 0.87 µg mL−1. The chloroform extract exhibited the highest anti-inflammatory effect with 45.27% inhibition. The extracts demonstrated antibacterial activity against the tested strains.
