Phytochemical Analysis, Quantitative Estimations of Total Phenols and Free Radical Scavenging Activity of Bupleurum subovatum from Jerusalem

“…19 Recently, published studies proved the presence of several compounds in Bupleurum plant which have relevant physio-biological activities. These ingredients are triterpenoid sapogenin (saikosaponins), 20,21 volatile oils (germacrene D, pinene, heptanal, spathulenol, undecane), 22,23 complex polysaccharides, 24 caffeic acid derivatives, 25 flavonoids, 26 and lignans 14 . The physiobiological activity of these compounds include antiviral, 27 immune-modulator, 28 anti-ulcer 29 and antiinflammatory activities 30 and antiproliferative activity.…”

Constituents of Essential Oil and Lipid Fraction from the Aerial Part of Bupleurum scorzonerifolium Willd. (Apiaceae) from Different Habitats

“…Components of essential oils extracted from plants originating from Mongolia were monoterpenes: β -myrcene (0.62–8.35%), cis - β -ocimene (0.37–9.22%), trans - β -ocimene (0.49–3.08%), limonene (2.64–7.08%), γ -terpinene (0.09–2.53%), α -pinene (0.11–5.62%), β -pinene (0.92–8.09%); sesquiterpenes: β -elemene (1.16–3.68%), humulene (1.71–14.66%), germacrene D (15.56–41.34%), caryophyllene (3.91–12.83%), bicyclogermacrene (3.53–7.61%), caryophyllene oxide (0.71–7.30%), spathulenol (0.63–7.42%); and aromatic compounds: p -cymol (0.18–10.56%). Comparison with data from the literature [ 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 ] showed that cis - β -ocimene, trans - β -ocimene, limonene, α -pinene, α -copaene, β -elemene, and caryophyllene oxide were consistent components in the essential oil of B. scorzonerifolium ’s aerial parts, regardless of habitat. The contents of these components varied from traces to a significant amount.…”

“…Light-blue-filled quadrants indicate samples from Buryatia (Russia), green-filled quadrant is the sample from the Trans–Baikal region (Russia), brown-filled quadrants are the samples from Khentii aimag (Mongolia). Brown-filled circle (mng2010) is according to [ 10 ]. “Irkutsk” indicates the B. scorzonerifolium sample from the Irkutsk region (Russia) according to [ 9 ].…”

“…Previous studies have been dedicated to the chemical constituents of essential oils of the aerial parts of B. scorzonerifolium growing within Russia, in particular, the Krasnoyarsk region [ 7 , 8 ], Irkutsk region [ 9 ], and Mongolia [ 10 ]. One study also provided detailed information about the essential oils extracted from the roots of plants growing in China [ 11 ].…”

Development of the method for spectrophotometric quantitative determination of the total flavonoids in <i>Bupleurum multinerve</i> herb

“…B. multinerve имеет дизъюнктивный ареал. Встречается на опушках лесов, в степных и высокогорных лугах в Европейской части России, южных районах Сибири, Монголии [1,5].…”
