Chemical composition and biological activities of the essential oils from Vitex-agnus castus, Ocimum campechianum and Ocimum carnosum

Abstract: The essential oils obtained by hydrodistillation from fresh leaves of Vitex agnus-castus and Ocimum campechianum, and from fresh inflorescences of Ocimum carnosum were analysed by GC-FID and GC-MS. The major components of V. agnus-castus essential oil were identified as 1,8-cineole (47.9%), terpinyl α-acetate (11.6%), sabinene (11.2%) and caryophyllene oxide (9.7%), while in the O. campechianum essential oil were eugenol (72.1%), β-elemene (6.8%), (E)-caryophyllene (6.4%) and bicyclogermacrene (5.2%).

“…All larval stages were killed after 48 hours of treatment except at 20 mg mL -1 , where the mortality rate was 71.8%. The results are close to those of Ricarte et al (2020), where the essential oils present in high concentrations in the Vitex agnus-castus were highly effective against the third instar larvae of the mosquito A. aegypti, with mortality rates between 0% and 100% after 24 hours of treatment.…”

“…Moreover, oxygenated compounds such as bornyl acetate, 1,8-cineol, limonene, α-pinene, and β-pinene are also found in V. agnus castus (EO). Furthermore, O-diphenol is the chemotype of polyphenolic compounds, whereas casticin, chrysosplenetin, chrysosplenol D, cynaroside, isorhamnetin, luteolin, and isoorientin are the main flavonoid components of V. agnus castus extracts [2,6,7].…”

“…Recently, essential oils and organic extracts from V. agnus castus showed promising properties including antibacterial, antioxidant, anticancer, and anticorrosion [7][8][9][10][11]. However, at our knowledge, there is no study that investigated a comparison between different plant parts of V. agnus castus.…”
