Analysis of Essential Oil of Salix babylonica Collected in Vietnam: Phytochemical Components and Antibacterial and Anticancer Activity

“…According to Mu et al's work [27], they experimented with S. babylonica samples collected in China and determined pentacosane's derivatives, finding that salicylic acid derivatives are the major components in essential oils. Meanwhile, the research group of Zeid et al [21] analyzed the composition of substances in essential oils extracted via steam distillation from S. babylonica samples collected in Egypt, and the results showed that many components were similar to samples collected in Vietnam, but the main composition of samples collected in Vietnam and Egypt was also different. For S. babylonica samples collected in Egypt, essential oils had α-pinene, β-cedrene, salicylaldehyde, Cis-4-hexen-1-ol, linalool, and 1,2-cyclohexanedione as the main components, while S. babylonica samples collected in Vietnam had camphene, 2-(4-methyl-3-cyclohexen-1-yl)-2-propanol, 3,7-dimethyl-1,6-octadien-3-ol, geranyl acetate, α-humulene, pentacosane, trans-carvone oxide, thymol, trans-caryophyllene, α-cadinol, and farnesol as the derivatives of the substances in the samples collected in Egypt as the main chemical components.…”

“…Flavonoids of the Salix plant constitute typical chemical compositions such as flavones, flavan-3-ols, chalcones, dihydrochalcones, anthocyanins, and other derivatives [1,[3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20]. In the Salix babylonica (L.) plant, major flavonoids such as apigenin glycoside (apigenin-7-O-galactoside [15]) and chrysoeriol [20]; luteolin [20,21] and its glycosides such as luteolin-6-C-β-D-glucopyranoside (iso-orientin) [21], luteolin-4 ′ -O-glucoside, luteolin-7-O-β-D-glucopyranoside [15], and kaempferol-7-O-glucoside [3]; and flavan-3-ols such as (epi)catechin gallate and (epi)gallocatechin gallate [19] have been reported. For phenolics and its derivatives of the Salix plant, more than 90 compounds have been reported.…”

“…For phenolics and its derivatives of the Salix plant, more than 90 compounds have been reported. 4-(Hydroxymethyl)phenyl β-D-glucopyranoside [3], salicin [15], salidroside [8], tremuloidin [21], triandrin [18], trichocarpin, 2 ′ -O-acetyltrichocarpin [15], and vimalin [8] of Salix babylonica (L.) were isolated as major chemical compositions, and this is also the main group of compounds found in plants of the genus Salix. The phenolic acids in Salix plants are either benzoic or cinnamic acid or hydroxycinnamic acid derivatives.…”
