Eucalyptus globulus, a species of the Myrtaceae family and a common medicinal plant in traditional Algerian medicine, is already known for its biological properties and especially its antibacterial and antioxidant properties. Ecological conditions influence pharmacological activity; Eucalyptus is therefore an interesting species to study. This work consists of evaluating the biological activity of methanolic extracts and essential oils of E. coli leaves. Globulus was collected from two regions in northern Algeria: Blida and Tizi-Ouzou. A qualitative phytochemical screening was carried out on the methanolic extracts followed by a quantitative analysis of the polyphenol and flavonoid contents. Antioxidant activity was assessed using the DPPH free radical scavenging assay, and antibacterial activity by the agar diffusion method. Phytochemical analysis revealed a qualitative diversity in the composition of extracts between the two regions. Indeed, extracts from Blida showed higher levels of phenols and flavonoids than those from Tizi-Ouzou. The antibacterial activity of the extracts was found to be high, while the antioxidant activity varied according to geographical origin. This reveals an influence of geoclimatic conditions on the antioxidant power. The results obtained reveal the effect of geographical origin on the chemical composition and biological activities of Eucalyptus globulus. These variations must be taken into account in the phytotherapeutic development of the species.
