Due to disease complexity and limitations of current therapies, alternative and adjunctive treatments are needed. This study investigated the phytochemical profiles and anti-UC activities of Commiphora gileadensis, Salsola incanescens, and Savignya parviflora. Methods: The methanolic extracts of aerial parts (AMEs) were characterized using LC-MS\/MS and evaluated for their protective effects against acetic acid (AA)-induced UC in female Sprague Dawley rats. Animals were treated orally once daily for 14 days with extract doses of 250 and 500 mg\/kg prior to colitis induction. In vitro anti-inflammatory and NO scavenging activities were also evaluated. Molecular docking was performed to explore the potential mechanisms of action by predicting the interactions of key compounds with COX-1 and 2 and the TLR4\/MD-2 complex. Results: LC-MS\/MS analysis revealed flavonoid-rich extracts with characteristic metabolites, including triterpenes in C. gileadensis, phenolic amides in S. incanescens, and amino acids in S. parviflora. C. gileadensis exhibited the strongest in vitro anti-inflammatory activity, showing marked suppression of interleukin-6 and tumor necrosis factor-\u03b1 production in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced RAW264.7 macrophages, selective COX-2 inhibition, and potent NO scavenging activity comparable to celecoxib. The extracts significantly attenuated AA-induced colonic injury in a dose-dependent manner. C. gileadensis at 500 mg\/kg exhibited the highest protective efficacy by reducing disease activity index, colonic edema, oxidative stress, and inflammatory mediators, while restoring mucosal architecture. It downregulated TLR4 and attenuated NF-\u03baB-dependent inflammatory and iNOS pathways. Histopathological examination and mucin expression results were consistent with these findings. Molecular docking was utilized as a hypothesis-generating tool to provide an in silico insight into the anti-inflammatory activity of C. gileadensis, suggesting potential multi-target interactions with COX-1, COX-2, and the TLR4\/MD-2 complex, likely attributable to its unique triterpenoid and flavonoid constituents. Conclusions: C. gileadensis emerged as the most promising extract for UC management, exhibiting marked antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. Further mechanistic, pharmacokinetic, and clinical investigations are required to establish its translational potential for the treatment of UC.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ph19081178","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,7,27]],"date-time":"2026-07-27T16:11:56Z","timestamp":1785168716000},"page":"1178","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Chemical Profiling of Commiphora gileadensis, Salsola incanescens, and Savignya parviflora and Their Protective Effects in an Acute Rat Model of Ulcerative Colitis"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"19","author":[{"given":"Fawaz K.","family":"Alanazi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pharmacognosy, Faculty of Pharmacy, Capital University (Formerly Helwan University), Cairo 11795, Egypt"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Nashwa","family":"Hashad","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pharmacognosy, Faculty of Pharmacy, Capital University (Formerly Helwan University), Cairo 11795, Egypt"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6393-209X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Asmaa A.","family":"Ahmed","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Faculty of Pharmacy, Capital University (Formerly Helwan University), Cairo 11795, Egypt"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Elsayed K.","family":"El-Sayed","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Faculty of Pharmacy, Capital University (Formerly Helwan University), Cairo 11795, Egypt"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yara E.","family":"Mansour","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pharmaceutical Chemistry and Pharmacognosy, College of Pharmacy, Qassim University, Unaizah 51911, Saudi Arabia"},{"name":"Pharmaceutical Organic Chemistry Department, Faculty of Pharmacy, Capital University (Formerly Helwan University), Cairo 11795, Egypt"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mohamed I.
