Abstract

This study was conceived to work on Artemisia herba alba essential oils (EOs) originating from Eastern Morocco. We investigated the chemical properties and determined the antiradical scavenging activity. The GC-MS technique was used to elucidate the chemical composition of the two studied regions. Jerada Eo was distinguished by the existence of 1,6-Dimethylhepta-1,3,5-triene (36.44%), Camphor (22.50%), and Thujone (7.21%). While, Taourirt EO was found to be rich in Camphor (55.31%), Eucalyptol (14.64%), and Camphene (9.95%). Moreover, the free radical scavenging ability (DPPH•), and ferric reducing power assay (FRAP) were conducted. The EOs tested are found to be weakly active and to have important antioxidant potential. The docking study was also carried out by theoretical investigation with molecular docking of four active predominating components (1,6-dimethylhepta-1,3,5-triene; Chrysanthone; Eucalyptol; Alpha-pinene) against S protein of SARS-CoV‑2, and all the four ligands were found to bind to the S protein 6CS2 of SARS-CoV-2 differently and that the stable complex formed as a result of these interactions may prevent the binding of ACE2 with the spike S protein of SARS-CoV-2.

Abstract

In this work, we are interested in finding new catalysts for catecholase, whose principle is based on the oxidation reaction of catechol to o-quinone. We approached the synthesis of the threes tripod ligands based on pyrazole in a condensation reaction and its characterization by IR, 13C NMR, 1H NMR spectroscopy, then we evaluated the catalytic properties of certain complexes formed in situ to catalyze the oxidation reaction of catechols to o-quinones. The aim is to find the right models to reproduce the catalytic activity of the enzyme (catecholase), we used complexes formed in situ by pyrazole derivatives with Copper salts. Among these complexes, the complex L4/Cu(CH3COO)2 showed good catalytic activity of the combination (1ligand/2metal) in MeOH for this reaction, with a speed Vmax equal to 69.38 μmol.L-1.min-1 and a low value of Km equal to 0.019 mol.L-1. We have demonstrated that the nature of concentration, ligand, solvent, and copper salts, influenced strongly the catecholase activity.
