Olea europaea (leaf)
Mediterranean olive leaf used extensively in North African and Middle Eastern folk medicine for hypertension, diabetes, and antimicrobial purposes.
Zatoun (Olea europaea leaf) is a Mediterranean herb traditionally used in North African and Middle Eastern folk medicine for hypertension, diabetes, and infections. Its primary active compounds include oleuropein, hydroxytyrosol, and oleacein, which contribute to its antihypertensive, antidiabetic, and antimicrobial effects. Modern research supports its use as an adjunctive therapy for cardiovascular and metabolic conditions, though evidence remains limited (Level C).
Oleuropein and its metabolite hydroxytyrosol inhibit angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE), reduce oxidative stress via NF-κB pathway modulation, and enhance endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) activity, leading to vasodilation and blood pressure reduction. In diabetes, these compounds improve insulin sensitivity by activating AMPK and PPARγ, and inhibit α-glucosidase, slowing carbohydrate absorption. Antimicrobial effects involve disruption of bacterial cell membranes and inhibition of viral replication through interference with viral envelope proteins.
