FT-IR spectra of the aerial parts (buds AB, leaves AL and flowers AF) of A. herba-alba powder revealed the presence of 12 peaks, of which 11 common peaks characteristics of the three A. herba-alba studied aerial parts. Whereas, the peak of 1632 cm-1 [(assigned to Alkenyl C=C stretch-Olefinic (alkene) group)] was observed in AB and AF aerial parts and not in AL. As for GC-MS analysis, data revealed 12 & 10 chemical compounds classes in A. herba-alba buds extracts of which, Bicyclic monoterpenoids (37.026 & 49.022%) was presented as a major compound in methanolic and ethanolic buds extracts, respectively. Whereas, 17 & 14 chemical compounds classes were detected in A. herba-alba leaves extracts, of which, Fatty acid amides (28.687 & 25.687%) was presented as a major compound in methanolic and ethanolic leaves extracts, respectively. While, 16 & 11 chemical compounds classes were detected in A. herba-alba flowers extracts, of which Fatty acid amides (25.623 & 23.295%) was presented as a major compound in methanolic and ethanolic flowers extracts, respectively. These bioactive materials make this species as a good candidates for different pharmaceutical and medicine academic researches and applications. ER -
