“…The highest content of decanal was reported in the aerial parts of D. assadii harvested from Lalehzar, Iran (74.0%) [ 14 ], whereas the EO from the aerial parts of the same plant collected from Dehbakri, Iran, contained only 10.1% [ 40 ]. Dodecanal was found in almost all the studied species, and it is the second major EO compound, with the highest amount detected in the fresh flowers of the EO of a Jordanian D. flabellifolia sample (33.41%) [ 13 ]. cis -Chrysanthenyl acetate (3.2‒72.28%) was characterized in D. anethifolia [ 43 , 44 , 45 , 47 , 58 , 59 ] and D. assadii [ 14 , 39 , 40 ]; furthermore, α-pinene as a monoterpene hydrocarbon was identified in all the species, with highest and lowest amounts in the leaves of D. anethifolia (70.3%) [ 15 ] and D. assadii ’s aerial parts (4.0%), respectively [ 14 ].…”

Ducrosia spp., Rare Plants with Promising Phytochemical and Pharmacological Characteristics: An Updated Review

et al. 2020

The rare genus Ducrosia (Apiaceae family) consists of six species, which are mainly native to Asia, specifically to Iran and Iraq. The aerial parts of D. anethifolia, as the most common species, have been traditionally consumed to relieve headache, backache and colic pain, and have also been used as an anxiolytic, an antidepressant, and for treating insomnia. The antispasmodic and carminative effects of D. assadii, and the analgesic activity of D. flabellifolia, along with the insecticidal activities and use as a remedy of skin infections of D. ismaelis, have been previously documented. Among the 49 non-volatile secondary metabolites identified from D. anethifolia and D. ismaelis, 17 linear furanocoumarins and 8 flavonoids have been characterized. The essential oil compositions of four species, including D. anethifolia, D. assadii, D. flabellifolia and D. ismaelis, have been analyzed, whereby aldehyde hydrocarbons, including decanal (10.1‒74.0%) and dodecanal (7.2‒33.41%), and α-pinene (4.0‒70.3%), were identified as the main aroma constituents. From the species of the genus, the bioactivities of D. anethifolia, as well as D. ismaelis, D. assadii and D. flabellifolia, have been previously investigated. Except one clinical trial, all the pharmacological data are derived from preclinical tests, predominantly focusing on antimicrobial, antioxidant, antiproliferative and cytotoxic activities in vitro, and neuroprotective, antidiabetic and analgesic effects in vivo. Considering the vast ethnobotanical uses of the plants in Iranian folk medicine, the phytochemical and pharmacological analysis of un-investigated species might be promising. Furthermore, due to extensive consumption of the Ducrosia genus, more scientific data are needed to support the safety and efficacy of these plants.

“…From ancient times, the aerial parts and leaves of D. flabellifolia have been smoked as a cigarette, since the local people in Iran, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Iraq and Syria suppose that it can relieve various pains (e.g., backache, headache, toothache) [ 13 , 36 ].…”

“…In addition, another study of the essential oil of D. anethifolia, demonstrated that α-pinene, terpineolene and ocimene are the major constituents [15]. While n-decanol, n-decanal, and dodecanal were the major constituents in D. flabellifolia [16], Mostafavi et al indicated similar results for the essential oil of D. assadii where n-decanal, n-decanol, and α-pinene predominated as well [17].…”

“…pangolin [10]. Many scientific reports described the chemical composition of the volatile oils of other species belonged to the genus Ducrosia particularly D. anethifolia, D. assadii and D. flabellifolia [9,10,[13][14][15][16][17]. The phytochemical analysis of D. anethifolia essential oil revealed the presence of α-pinene (59.2%), myrcene, (11.6%) and limonene (7.5%) as the major compounds [13], whereas Shahabipour et al, 2013 confirmed that the main compounds of D. anethifolia and D. flabellifolia oils were dodecanal and decanal [14].…”

Ducrosia ismaelis Asch. essential oil: chemical composition profile and anticancer, antimicrobial and antioxidant potential assessment

AbstractThe essential oil of Ducrosia ismaelis Asch. (Apiaceae) that grows wild in Saudi Arabia was investigated utilizing gas chromatography (GC), and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. Fifty constituents were characterized, representing 96.1% of the total oil. The D. ismaelis essential oil (DIEO) was distinguished by a high composition of oxygenated monoterpenes (51.6%). Decanal (40.6%), α-pinene (15.1%) and dodecanal (13.7%) were the fundamental components. Additionally, DIEO was evaluated for its cytotoxic, antibacterial, antifungal and antioxidant activities. DIEO revealed a great cytotoxic effectiveness against the tested cancer cell lines with IC50 values between 66.2 and 137.3 μg/mL particularly against MCF-7 cancer cells. Furthermore, the induction of apoptosis against MCF-7 cells has been asserted using staining assay (annexin VFITC and/or propidium iodide (PI) dyes) and flow cytometry technique. The DIEO possessed a strong antimicrobial activity against Gram-positive bacterial and fungal strains with MIC-values between 0.07 and 0.31 mg/ml. The values of MBC or MFC were almost once higher than those of MIC’s. Moreover, the β-carotene-bleaching and DPPH free radical-scavenging tests showed that DIEO had a moderate activity (68%) as an antioxidant agent in decolouring of the β-carotene at 1.0 mg/mL and a moderate radical scavenging for DPPH (66 and 72%) at 0.50 and 1.0 mg/mL.

“…Boiss. is traditionally used for its pain relieving and sedative properties in Jordan [122]. D. assadi has been consumed as a flavouring in food, and as antispasmodic, soporific, anti-inflammatory, antiseptic and carminative agent in the Iranian folk medicine [123,124].…”
