Volatile Constituents ofArtemisia scopariaWaldst et Kit. Leaves

Volatile components fromArtemisia scoparia Waldst et Kit growing in central Iran

“…The major constituents of the oil were 1-phenyl-penta-2,4-diyne (30.9%), β-pinene (23.3%), limonene (10.2%) and (E)-β-ocimene (9.7%). Contrary to the earlier report that artemisia ketone, germacrene-D, verbenone, 1,8-cineole, eugenol, capillin, trans-pinocarveol, ascaridole, scoparone and camphor were predominantly present in the oil of Artemisia scoparia grown in other areas [11][12][13][14] and other species of Artemisia, [15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22] we did not find these compounds in the present study. According to our literature surveys, all of the components of the oil have been previousely detected in Artemisia.…”

“…β-Pinene, which was found as the second largest component of the oil, has been reported in the oil of Artemisia campestris L. as the major component. 24 Sefidkon et al 20 and Ahmadi et al 18 reported the constituents of the oils from four species of Artemisia from Iran, which were as follows: Artemisia aucheri-verbenone (21.5%), camphor (21.0%), 1,8-cineole (8.3%) and trans-verbenol (8.1%); Artemisia santolina-neryl acetate (13.4%), bornyl acetate (10.9%), 11 reported the volatile constituents of Artemisia scoparia leaves from India in which γ-terpinene (21.8%) was the major component. The comparison of the results with the literature showed significant differences for oils, which can be attributed to climatological factors, genetic differences or the development stage or plant parts analysed.…”

The First Report on Chemical Composition and Antimicrobial Activity of Artemisia scoparia Waldst. et Kit. Extracts

“…In A. scoparia volatiles from India monoterpenoids amounted to about half of the total oil content and γ-terpinene and eugenol were the most abundant constituents. 29 Kaur et al found that the major class of compounds in A. scoparia oil from India was hydrocarbon monoterpenoids, while dominant components were β-myrcene, pcymene, and limonene. 30 Singh et al reported that the major compounds in the essential oil obtained from young leaves of A. scoparia from India were β-myrcene and pcymene, while in oil obtained from mature leaves were pcymene and acenaphthalene.…”

Essential oil constituents of aerial parts of Artemisia scoparia Waldst. & Kit.

“…Three aliphatic constituents, identified as n-octane, n-heptadecane and n-eicosane, occurred in trace amounts. The volatile oil of A. scoparia, 17 collected at the fruiting stage from our University campus, contained 17 monoterpenes (ca. 80.7%) and γ-terpenene was the predominant characterized constituent (20.79%).…”
