Conclusion
Our current study is a first attempt to evaluate and validate
the anti-inflammatory and analgesic activities of Olea
europaea leaves confirming the traditional use of this plant
in treating ailments associated with inflammation and pain.
We suggest that the iridoids and flavonoids contents in olive
leaves are major contributors to the anti-inflammatory and
antinociceptive effects of olive leaves. A chemical study by
NMR and IR of our extracts showed the presence of different
compounds like hydrocarbon phenyl and ketone amine.
These natural products are considered as active analgesic and
anti-inflammatory ingredients [23, 24].
