Abstract
Medicinal plants are a rich source of bioactive compounds with multiple health benefits. In this context, we
carried out a phytochemical and biological study on two medicinal plants common in Algeria, Zygophyllum
and Solanum. The active compounds of these two plants were extracted using a 70/30 ethanol/water solvent
by Macération and Soxhlet extraction methods. The antimicrobial and antioxidant activities were studied, and
an ointment based on Zygophyllum extract was prepared, and its anti-inflammatory activity was evaluated in
an experimental model of formaldehyde-induced inflammation in rats. The results showed a clear efficacy of
the ointment, demonstrating its anti-inflammatory properties.
