Description
The mastic tree of Algeria has a long folk record, and Halima Saiah and co-authors test its extract against low oxygen in this 2026 study. Chemical profiling found the extract rich in phenolics and flavonoids, with the main acids and pigments named by lab instruments. In dishes it mopped up free radicals with strength rising by dose.
Mice given the extract survived longer under thin air and after a nitrite challenge that starves blood of oxygen. Their tissue damage marker fell, and in a maze-like field they explored more boldly. Computer docking suggested the compounds grip a key oxygen-sensing protein well. The authors present the plant as a candidate source for protective drugs, pending deeper work.
