### Bioactive Compounds Investigation by HPLC Analysis  
In the literature, many compounds had been confirmed with reference standards in studied species using HPLC for its precision, versatility, and freedom from interferences [32]. According to HPLC data (Table 5), [PERSON] and [PERSON] [33] showed that vanillic acid, 4 hydroxybenzoic acid, and chlorogenic acid were the most important compounds in the extract of _the C. villosa_ plant. Concerning _Rosmarinus officinalis_, previous research found that rosmarinic acid, carnacic acid, and chlorogenic acid were the principal compounds in the ethanolic extracts [12; 34], while chlorogenic acid, 3,4,5 tri-O-galloyquinic acid, and rutin were the most abundant phenolic compounds in the ethanolic extract of _Pistacia lentiscus_ in previous studies [10; 11]. _Erica multiflora_ was characterized by three major compounds, which were quercetin, rutin, and catechin [9]. The last plant was _Phillyrea tatifolia_, which contained tyrosol, quercetin-7-O-rutinoside, and oleuropein [11]. \begin{table}
