Composition of the essential oil of Cotinus coggygria Scop. from Turkey

Abstract

The oil from leaves of Cotinus coggygria Scop. (Anacardiaceae) obtained by hydrodistillation was analysed by GC-MS. Forty-two components were characterized, representing 99.6% of the total components detected. The major constituents were identified as limonene (48.5%), (Z )-ˇ-ocimene (27.9%) and (E )-ˇ-ocimene (9.7%).

Antimicrobial, antioxidant and anti‐inflammatory activity of young shoots of the smoke tree, Cotinus coggygria Scop

“…Cotinus coggygria contains an essential oil which mainly consists of monoterpenes (Demirci et al ., ; Tzakou et al ., ; Novaković et al ., ), a high amount of hydrolysable tannins, gallic acid, methyl gallate, pentagalloyl glucose (Westenburg et al ., ) and flavonoids, glycosides of myricetin, quercetin and kaempferol (Buziashvili et al ., ). Three aurones (disulfuretin, sulfuretin and sulfurein) possessing antioxidant activity (DPPH radical scavenging activity) were isolated from C. coggygria (Westenburg et al ., ).…”

“…A methanol extract of the leaves and flowers exhibited antioxidant and cytotoxic activities (Šavikin et al ., ). The antimicrobial activity of the essential oil of C. coggygria from Turkey was not significant (Demirci et al ., ), while the essential oil found in the leaves of plants growing in Serbia inhibited the growth of Gram‐positive bacteria and fungi (Novaković et al ., ).…”

“…It is mainly applied to treat diarrhoea, in wound healing and for different skin disorders. In Serbian folk medicine, decoction of the bark has also been used to treat cancer (Kišgeci, ; Demirci et al ., ; Tzakou et al ., ).…”

Antiproliferative Properties Against Human Breast, Cervical and Ovarian Cancer Cell Lines, and Antioxidant Capacity of Leaf Aqueous Ethanolic Extract from Cotinus coggygria Scop.

The effect of topical ethanol extract ofCotinus coggygriaScop. on cutaneous wound healing in rats

“…According to previous studies about phytochemical investigation of C. coggygria, it is seen that gallic tannins, flavonoids, anthocyanins and terpenes in essential oil are chemical constituents of C. coggygria (Westernburg et al 2000;Demirci et al 2003;Kültür & Bitiş 2007). It was found that C. coggygria extract has high total antioxidant activity and free radical scavenging activity, which is attributed to its high amount of total phenols and flavonoid content (Nićiforović et al 2010).…”
