“…chamaepitys growing in Spain, γ-muurolene (40.3%), limonene (20.5%) and germacrene B (7.8%) were identified as the major components (Velasco-Negueruela et al, 2004), which were significantly different from the composition of A. chamaepitys as stated above. However, the presence of α-and β-pinene in significant amounts appears to be common in the subspecies and varieties of this species that grow in north of Iran (Gilan province) and Turkey (Baser et al, 1999;Azizan et al, 2002). The predominance of α-and β-pinene in the essential oils of other Ajuga species has also been noted (Javidnia et al, 2010;Mohammadhosseini et al, 2011).…”

“…Antimicrobial, antiviral and antifeedant and cytotoxic properties of various extracts of this plant have been reported (Kutas & Nadasy, 2005;Akçin et al, 2006;Orhan et al, 2009;Turkoglu et al, 2010). Previous phytochemical investigations on this plant revealed the presence of cloredan and neocloredan diterpenes in the aerial parts, and β-pinene and germacrene-D as the major components of the essential oils (Hernandez et al, 1980;Camps et al, 1984Camps et al, , 1987Boneva et al, 1990;Baser et al, 1999;Azizan et al, 2002;Velasco-Negueruela et al, 2004). In continuation of our phytochemical and pharmacological studies on the medicinal plants of the Iranian flora (Delazar et al, 2004(Delazar et al, , 2006(Delazar et al, , 2007(Delazar et al, , 2010a2011a,b;Babaei et al, 2008;Nazemieyh et al, 2008aNazemieyh et al, ,b, 2011Nazifi et al, 2008;Razvi et al, 2008Razvi et al, , 2011Modaressi et al, 2009;Asnaashari et al, 2010), we now report on the isolation, identification and free-radicalscavenging properties of three phenolic glycosides (1-3), and the composition of the essential oils of the aerial parts of Ajuga chamaepitys (L.)

Abstract:From the methanolic extract of the aerial parts of Ajuga chamaepitys (L.) Schreb., Lamiaceae, one of the Iranian medicinal plants, the phenylethanoid glycoside, acteoside, and two flavone glycosides, chrysoeriol 7-Oglucopyranoside (3'-methoxy-luteolin 7-O-glucopyranoside) and apigenin 7-Orhamnopyranoside, were isolated by a combination of solid-phase extraction (SPE) and preparative reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (prep-RP-HPLC) methods. Structures of the isolated compounds were elucidated by spectroscopic means. The free-radical-scavenging properties of the extracts, fractions and isolated compounds were determined by the 2,2-diphenyl-1-picryl-hydrazyl (DPPH) assay. While among the extracts, the MeOH extract showed the highest level of free-radical-scavenging activity (RC50 1.15 × 10 -¹ mg/mL), chrysoeriol 7-O-glucopyranoside was the most active (RC50 3.00 × 10 -³ mg/mL) among the isolated compounds. The GC-MS and the GC-FID analyses revealed α-pinene (23.66%), β-pinene (9.33%), 1-octen-3-ol (9.72%), β-phellandrene (8.70%) and germacrene-D (7.92%) as the major components of the essential oils derived from the aerial parts of this plant. The presence of phenolic glycosides and the α-and β-pinene-rich essential oils in A. chamaepitys may provide some rationale for the traditional medicinal uses of this species in Iran.

The plants of genus Ajuga are evergreen, clump-forming rhizomatous perennial or annual herbaceous flowering species, with Ajuga being one of the 266 genera of family Lamiaceae. There are at least 301 species of the genus Ajuga with many variations. These plants, growing in Europe, Asia, Africa, Australia and North America are used in gardens as ground cover or border for their foliage and beautiful flowers 1 . Several papers have been previously published about the ethnopharmacological uses of some Ajuga species. There are some reports on the phytochemical analysis of species belonging Ajuga found in the literature but only a small number of these species have so far been studied chemically for their essential oils. Several species of this genus have been reported to be rich sources of bioactive metabolites, including diterpenes 2-4 , steroids 5,6 and iridoids 7,8 , which display insect antifeedant 4 , antibacterial 3 , antiplasmodial 9 , antimycobacterial 10 , cytotoxic 11 and vasoconstrictor activities 12 .In the flora of Turkey, the genus Ajuga (Lamiaceae) is represented by 12 species and 22 taxa 13 . This species which has been mentioned as the name of "mayasilotu, yercami, basirotu, soguklama otu or yer selvisi" in the old texts of traditional medicine, is one of the species of the Lamiaceae that has been used in the Turkey traditional medicine for centuries 14 . This plant has long been used as a diuretic, tonic, emmenagogue agent and menser remover and for wound-healing and perspiration 15 . Application of this species to treat scorpion and snake bites, stomachache, jaundice, hemorrhoids, inflammatory diseases, such as gout and joint pains and common colds have also been well documented 14,15 .
