A Review of the Composition of the Essential Oils and Biological Activities of Angelica Species

A number of Angelica species have been used in traditional systems of medicine to treat many ailments. Especially, essential oils (EOs) from the Angelica species have been used for the treatment of various health problems, including malaria, gynecological diseases, fever, anemia, and arthritis. EOs are complex mixtures of low molecular weight compounds, especially terpenoids and their oxygenated compounds. These components deliver specific fragrance and biological properties to essential oils. In this review, we summarized the chemical composition and biological activities of EOs from different species of Angelica. For this purpose, a literature search was carried out to obtain information about the EOs of Angelica species and their bioactivities from electronic databases such as PubMed, Science Direct, Wiley, Springer, ACS, Google, and other journal publications. There has been a lot of variation in the EO composition among different Angelica species. EOs from Angelica species were reported for different kinds of biological activities, such as antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, immunotoxic, and insecticidal activities. The present review is an attempt to consolidate the available data for different Angelica species on the basis of major constituents in the EOs and their biological activities.

“…Further, the authors reported that the composition of EOs varied greatly with the altitude of collection. Pasqua et al [ 16 ] investigated the accumulation of EOs in the roots of A. archangelica subsp. archangelica at different developmental stages.…”

“…The efficacy of antimicrobial action of oils and extracts depends to a great degree on the chemical composition, which is connected with the type of oily plants, the growth conditions, harvesting, and processing, as well as the manner of obtaining the extracts. Differences in the chemical composition and biological activity were observed in garlic oils containing sulphur compounds [ 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 ], nettle [ 8 , 9 , 10 ], and chamomile [ 11 ], which contain biogenic amines and angelica-containing coumarins [ 12 , 13 , 14 ]. Furthermore, what is also significant is the qualitative-quantitative composition of various chemical compounds found in essential oils, since it is responsible for their antimicrobial efficacy.…”

Chemical Composition of Herbal Macerates and Corresponding Commercial Essential Oils and Their Effect on Bacteria Escherichia coli

et al. 2017

This study addresses the chemical composition of some commercial essential oils (clove, juniper, oregano, and marjoram oils), as well as appropriate herbal extracts obtained in the process of cold maceration and their biological activity against selected Escherichia coli strains: E. coli ATTC 25922, E. coli ATTC 10536, and E. coli 127 isolated from poultry waste. On the basis of the gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GCMS) analysis, it was found that the commercial essential oils revealed considerable differences in terms of the composition and diversity of terpenes, terpenoids and sesquiterpenes as compared with the extracts obtained from plant material. The commercial clove, oregano, and marjoram oils showed antibacterial properties against all the tested strains of E. coli. However, these strains were not sensitive to essential oils obtained from the plant material in the process of maceration. The tested strains of E. coli show a high sensitivity, mainly against monoterpenes (α-pinene, β-pinene, α,β,γ-terpinene, limonene) and some terpenoids (thymol, carvacrol). The commercial juniper oil contained mainly monoterpenes and monoterpenoids, while the extracts contained lower amounts of monoterpenes and high amounts of sesquiterpenes—the anti-microbiotic properties of the juniper herbal extract seem to be caused by the synergistic activity of mono- and sesquiterpenes.

“…This is in line with the general assumption that undifferentiated in vitro cultures, except for a few well-known exceptions (e.g., taxanes, Yukimune et al, 1996), often lose the capacity to produce the secondary metabolites normally synthesized in plant. In some cases, this is due to a lack of specialized cells or secretory structures (St-Pierre et al, 1999 andPasqua et al, 2003). Indeed, the existence of a relationship between differentiation/ organization and secondary product formation in vitro has been well documented (Robins et al, 1991 andBiondi et al, 2002).…”

Q UINOA (Chenopodium quinoa Willd) which is considered a pseudocereal or pseudograin, has been originated from the Andean region in South America, and is belonging to family Amaranthaceae. The highest percentage germination of seeds was achieved in MS medium with full strength in the full strength MS medium (100%). Best callus production from seedling explants was obtained on MS medium supplemented with 2mg/L 2, 4-D+0.05mg/L Kin. Callus was also obtained when MS medium was fortified with 1mg/L NAA+0.5mg/L BA, 1mg/L 2, 4-D+0.5mg/L BA and 3mg/L PCIB. However, the percent culture response on these concentrations was lower. The lowest total amount of callus was found to be on MS medium containing 1mg/L PCIB. Callus of explants were grown on MS media with 2mg/L 2,4-D+0.05 mg/L Kin gave the significant highest value (22µg/g fresh wt) of tocopherols content, followed by seedling on half strength MS medium (15.6). While the lowest value (2.1) was observed with Callus obtained from seedling planted on MS medium contained 0.5mg L-1 NAA+0.05 mg L-1 BA. Protein extraction and enzymatic assay protein extraction and measurement of tyrosine aminotransferase (TAT) activity were performed. Enzyme activity in leaves was twofold higher than that in seeds. In callus cultures, activity was about onefold lower than in leaf extracts.
