  The present work aimed to investigate an ethnobotanical survey about
Pituranthos scoparius and assess the toxicity, anti-inflammatory (in vitro, and
in vivo) potential, in vitro antioxidant, and analgesic effects of stems and
roots of Pituranthos scoparius. Furthermore; to isolate and elucidate the
chemical constituents of the n-butanol stem extract of P. scoparius (ButE) and
determine the toxicity and anti-inflammatory effects of these compounds added
to the ButE. Data from an ethnopharmacological study showed that 24.47 % of
people used this plant in folk medicine. Four compounds were isolated from
ButE. These compounds were characterized by means of NMR and high-resolution
mass spectral (HRMS) data.
