	abstract = {The present study reports the in vitro pharmacological properties of the methanolic extract obtained from the species\&nbsp;Micropus bombycinus\&nbsp;Lag. The quantification of total phenolic content was performed using the Folin-Ciocalteu method. The antioxidant activity was evaluated by four different assays. Moreover, the in vitro anti-inflammatory activity was assessed using the albumin denaturation method and the antibacterial activity was estimated by agar disk diffusion assay against ten bacterial strains. The\&nbsp;Micropus bombycinus\&nbsp;methanolic extract contains several classes of secondary metabolites known for their biological properties. A high content of polyphenols was estimated (115.32 {\textpm} 0.47\&nbsp;μg GAE/ mg of plant extract). The MeOH extract possessed strong antioxidant activities in various assays that subsequently correlated with its phenolic content. It had also the ability to inhibit thermally-induced protein denaturation with a percentage of 27.51\% at the concentration of 400\&nbsp;μg/mL. Furthermore, this extract showed antibacterial activity against all the tested strains with zones of inhibition ranging from 9 to 28\&nbsp;mm. It can be concluded that\&nbsp;Micropus bombycinus\&nbsp;could be an interesting source for potential bioactive compounds as inhibitors of pathogenic bacteria, and it helps to cure chronic inflammatory (Rheumatoid arthritis) and oxidative stress-related diseases.},
