The present study was conducted to eva-luate in vitro antioxidant and antibacterial activities of field wormwood, Artemisia campestris L. growing wild in the easthern of Algeria. The aerial parts of the plant were dried at shade and extracted with acetone, ethyl acetate, methanol and water. Total phenolic, flavonoid, flavanol and flavone, tannin and anthocyanin contents of different extracts from the whole plant were determined. The obtained results indicated that the ethyl acetate extract possessed high phenolic, flavonoid, flavanol and flavone contents and exhibited good antioxidant activity by DPPH, FRAP, ß- carotene bleaching methods. However, acetone extract showed strong antiradical property against H2O2 and high tannin content. These findings provide evidence that the polyphenolic extract of A. campestris L. is a natural source of antioxidant against oxidative damage. A. ca...

The volatile fraction was isolated by hydrodistillation in a Clevenger-type apparatus for 3 h and analysed by gas chromatography (GC) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The essential oil was obtained in a yield of 0.66% (v/dry weight). Fifty-eight components were identified representing 98% of the total oil. The main components were α-terpenyl acetate and α-pinene (19% and 18% respectively) followed by camphor (9%), camphene (8%), limonene and borneol (5% both).
