“…A literature survey showed that the essential oil of the aerial parts at the flowering period, in other samples of P. uloptera obtained from Iran (Mazloomifar, Bigdeli, Saber, & Rustaiyan, 2004;Sefidkon et al, 2001), was characterised by a high amount of -caryophyllen (21.7%), caryophyllen oxide (15.9%), -pinene (12.4%) and limonene (8.7%). However, such compounds were not observed within the examined samples in the present study.…”

In the current investigation, the influence of the plant growth stages (prior to emergence of flower heads or vegetative, anthesis and fruiting) on the essential oil content and composition in the aerial parts of Prangos uloptera DC. was studied. Quantitative and qualitative differences were found among oil of aerial parts at three phenological stages. The principle compounds of the oil before emergence of flower heads were saferole (21.6%) and α-pinene (20%), while the oil at anthesis was composed of α-bisabolol (30.5%), saferole (19.11%) and (+)-spathulenol (12.9%). The oil at fruiting stage displayed γ-terpinene (35.5%) and trans-anethole (23.5%) as major constituents. These findings may confer valuable information regarding chemical composition of P. uloptera DC., which could be beneficial in the fields of herbal medicine.

“…Prangos species, commonly known as 'Djashir' in Iran, are widely used in folk medicine as tonic, and for the treatment of fl atulence, haemorrhoids, wounds and leukoplakia (Dokonic et al, 2004;Yasuhiro et al, 2001). Previous phytochemical investigations on the fruits and roots of P. uloptera revealed the presence of various coumarins, monoterpenes and sesquiterpenes Denisenko, 1970, 1973;Sefi dkon and Navaii, 2001;Mazloomifar et al, 2004). The essential oils obtained from the umbels of this species have recently been shown to contain various terpenoidal compounds (Nazemieyh et al, 2007).…”

RESUMO: "Cumarinas das partes aéreas de Prangos uloptera (Apiaceae)". Os estudos fi toquímicos das partes aéreas de Prangos uloptera, uma espécie do gênero Prangos endêmica do Irã, forneceram cinco cumarinas, xantotoxina (1), prangenina (2), escopoletina (3), deltoína (4) e prangolarina (5). As estruturas destas cumarinas foram elucidas através de métodos espectroscópicos e o potencial antioxidante de 1-5 foi avaliado pelo ensaio de DPPH. O signifi cado quimiotaxonômico de 1-5 também é discutido.Unitermos: Prangos uloptera, Apiaceae, Umbelliferae, cumarina, furanocumarina, marmesina, antioxidante, quimiotaxonomia.ABSTRACT: Phytochemical studies on the aerial parts of Prangos uloptera, an endemic Iranian species of the genus Prangos, yielded fi ve coumarins, xanthotoxin (1), prangenin (2), scopoletin (3), deltoin (4) and prangolarin (5).

Composition of the essential oils of Prangos scabra fruits and inflorescence from Iran

The chemical composition of Prangos scabra and component activities have been investigated by several authors [1][2][3][4][5][6]. The air-dried fruits and inflorescence of Prangos scabra yielded 1.6% and 0.3% of a pale yellow oil, respectively. In the DPPH assay, the essential oils of the fruits (EOF) and inflorescence (EOI) exhibited weak free radical scavenging activities with RC 50 values of 1.58 and 1.42 mg/mL, respectively.The identified compounds from these essential oils [7,8], their retention indices, amounts (%) are summarized in Table 1. In the present study, while 20 major components, 67.1% of which were sesquiterpenes and 23.3% oxygenated sesquiterpenes, were identified in the EOF, the EOI were found to contain 14 main components, among which 15% were sesquiterpenes and 45.3% were oxygenated sesquiterpenes.The two most abundant components of the EOF were identified as β-elemene (19.9%) and β-farnesene (16.2%), whereas the EOI consists of epi-globulol (21.1%) and β-elemene (19.7%) as the two major components. Among the oxygenated sesquiterpenes, epi-globulol, spathulenol, caryophyllenoxide, and α-cadinol were the main components. The EOF contained only a small amount of monoterpenes, β-pinene (0.1%) and D-limonene (0.3%), while no monoterpenes in the EOI were present in detectable amounts. It is interesting to note that β-pinene, D-limonene, germacrene D, valencene, α-bisabolol, γ-cadinene, germacrene B, elemol, p-cresol, and α-bisabolol were present in the EOF but not in the EOI. Similarly, β-selinene, calarene, and p-methoxyacetophenone were found in the EOI but not in the EOF (Table 1).A comparison of the essential oil composition of Prangos scabra with that of some other members of the genus Prangos, available in the literature [4,6,[9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19], shows that considerable variations exist in the compositions of the essential oils of different species of the genus Prangos, especially in terms of the type of major components present. It has been found that the most abundant component in the essential oils of P. uloptera [6,9,10,12], P. asperula subsp. haussknechth [11], P. bornmuelleri [15], P. heyniae [13], P. ferulaveae [18], and P. uechtritzii [13] were, respectively, α-pinene (15.0%), ∆ 3 -carene (16.1%), germacrene D (42%), β-bisabolene (53.3%), γ-terpinene (27.8%), and p-cymene (10.9%), whereas β-elemene was the main component of P. scabra. However, α-and β-pinene, germacrene D, and germacrene B are of common occurrence in the essential oils of fruits of nearly all investigated Prangos species. ACKNOWLEDGMENT
