BIOLOGICAL PROPERTIES OF THE NORTH-WEST MOROCCAN MEDICINAL PLANTS: FINDINGS AND PERSPECTIVES
PLANT CELL BIOTECHNOLOGY AND MOLECULAR BIOLOGY,
Page 52-73
Abstract
The screening of new components from medicinal plants needs several screenings. In this review, we report our results obtained with the use of medicinal plants of the North-West of Morocco and their biological properties. The region possesses a distinguish climate and floristic diversity, including medicinal plants that have been used to treat several diseases. The secondary metabolites of these plants possess important charges of phenolic, flavonoid and terpenoid compounds. Moreover, these medicinal plants showed remarkable biological properties such as antibacterial, antiparasitic, antioxidant and anticancer effects. The findings suggest that Medicinal plants of the North-West constitute a veritable source for drugs development.
