Abstract

Chemical Profile and Biological Activities of Essential oil of Aerial parts of Artemisia monosperma Del. Growing in Libya

Highlights

  • Genus Artemisia (Asteraceae) comprises about 300 species of broad distribution all over the world.[1]

  • The current study was planned aiming to investigate the influence of stage of development on the composition, antimicrobial, antiinflammatory and antioxidant activities of the essential oil derived from the aerial parts of the Libyan plants

  • Material and Methods: A. monosperma volatiles were hydro-distilled from aerial parts of Libyan plants, collected at different stages of growth: before ranged fflroowme0ri.n1g6-(0A.21)[6], manld/10a0t gbfergeisnhnimngate(Ari2a)l and (A3, hbigyhtehset).eGndC/(FAID3)

Summary

Introduction

Genus Artemisia (Asteraceae) comprises about 300 species of broad distribution all over the world.[1]. Objective: The current study was planned aiming to investigate the influence of stage of development on the composition, antimicrobial, antiinflammatory and antioxidant activities of the essential oil derived from the aerial parts of the Libyan plants. Material and Methods: A. monosperma volatiles were hydro-distilled from aerial parts of Libyan plants, collected at different stages of growth: before ranged fflroowme0ri.n1g6-(0A.21)[6], manld/10a0t gbfergeisnhnimngate(Ari2a)l and (A3, hbigyhtehset).eGndC/(FAID3). Among oxygenated components (11.29, 31.08 and 35.44 % in A3, A2 and A1), bornyl acetate was the major monoterpenoid (8.00-31.00%, highest in A1); and the sesquiterpenoid, β-eudesmol (8.01%) was detected in A2 only. The antioxidant activity of the volatiles is decreased during the flowering stage, being the highest before flowering (A1); this could be associated to the decreasing bornyl acetate content of the samples
