In the present research, variability in essential oil (EO) composition of five Dorema aucheri populations collected from natural habitats in different regions of Iran, were investigated. The EO content of populations varied from 0.28 to 0.68%. According to gas chromatography/mass spectrometry analysis, β-caryophyllene (7.17 - 35.73%), thymol (23.45 - 29.64%), β-gurjunene (2.58 - 5.89%), carvacrol (1.32 - 2.67%) and cuparene (1.97 - 2.98%) were the major components. Hierarchical cluster, principal component and canonical correspondence analyses classified the studied populations into three groups based on major EO components. The environmental parameters of the collected sites were also evaluated. According to the results, it might be suggested that sandy soils with high mean annual precipitation were major environmental factors influencing the amount of β-caryophyllene, while thymol, cuparene and caryophyllen oxide increased in silty and clay soils. Finally, the population collected in high altitudes and clay soils had higher amount of β-gurjunene.

“…1 Recently, the chemical composition of the leaf and flower essential oils of C. maculatum from Serbia as well as the essential oil of Iranian hemlock were published. 2, 3 Birkett reported only the major volatile antifeedant constituents from C. maculatum. 4 There was a great deal of work performed on the biologically active compounds, such as alkaloids, flavonoids, coumarins, polyacetylenes, vitamins and non-volatile oils, of C. maculatum 1,5,6 but there have been no reports on the steroid content of this plant species.…”

The steroid content of Conium maculatum L. (Poison Hemlock), Apiaceae, a well-known weed plant species, was studied herein for the first time. This was achieved by detailed GC-MS analyses of twenty two samples (dichloromethane extracts of different plant organs of C. maculatum at three or four different stages of phenological development, collected from three locations). In total, twenty four different steroids were identified. Six steroids had an ergostane nucleus while the other ones possessed a stigmastane carbon framework. The identity of these compounds was determined by spectral means (MS fragmentation), GC co-injections with authentic standards and chemical transformation (silylation). Steroid compounds were noted to be the main chemical constituents of root extracts (up to 70 %) of this plant species in the last phase of development. The predominant ones were stigmasta-5,22- dien-3β-ol (stigmasterol) and stigmasta-5-en-3β-ol (β-sitosterol). In an attempt to classify the samples, principal component analysis (PCA) and agglomerative hierarchical clustering (AHC) were performed using steroid percentages as variables

Chemical composition of leaf and flower essential oils of Conium maculatum from Serbia

Conium maculatum L., a member of the Apiaceae (formerly Umbelliferae) family of rhizomal plants [1], is an annual, biennial, or, in favorable conditions, perennial plant, usually 120-180 cm high. C. maculatum (hemlock, poison hemlock) is a very common and worldwide plant species. It is one of the most toxic plants known [1]. Poison hemlock is native to Europe and western Asia and has been brought to America and Oceania as an ornamental plant [2]. A "cocktail" of an extract from C. maculatum, mixed with opium has been reported to be the lethal poison which the Greek philosopher Socrates was condemned to drink in the year 399 B.C. [3].Despite being a worldwide renowned plant species and being a member of the family of numerous aromatic plant species (some of them containing significant quantities of volatile constituents), the essential oils of this plant species were the subject of only two previous studies. Only recently was the chemical composition of the Iranian C. maculatum essential oil published [4]. Previously, a study concentrating on antifeedant compounds from C. maculatum reported only the major volatile constituents of this species [5].Having in mind the scarce data on the volatile constituents of C. maculatum (and the genus Conium in general) and the non-existence practically of any information on plant part specification of the essential oil, we decided to investigate the chemical composition of the hydrodistilled leaf and flower essential oils of Serbian C. maculatum.The yields of yellowish, transparent essential oils of noxious odor obtained from fresh leaf and inflorescence of C. maculatum were 0.04 and 0.06% (v/w), respectively. The essential oils were analyzed by GC and GC-MS and the resulting data on the qualitative and quantitative chemical composition are presented in Table 1. Twenty-three and fifty-seven constituents were identified in the leaf and flower oils of C. maculatum, accounting for 96.2 and 97.5% of the total oils, respectively.The major constituent in both flower and leaf oils was germacrene D (27.2 and 41.0%, respectively). The two runnersup in the leaf oil were the acyclic monoterpenes (Z)-β-ocimene (7.1%) and (E)-β-ocimene (22.3%), while in the inflorescence oil the second and third most abundant components were (Z)-β-ocimene (14.3%) and β-myrcene (9.3%). The relative amounts of (E)-b-ocimene (7.7%) and (E)-nerolidol (7.1%) in the flower oil deserve mention as well. The monoterpene and sesquiterpene fractions of the oils were comparable in their relative amounts (flower oil: 40.1% monoterpenes versus 46.3% sesquiterpenes, leaf oil: 33.6% monoterpenes versus 54.6% sesquiterpenes Table), and the number of identified monoterpenes and sesquiterpenes followed the same trend (13 and 19). However, within the fractions a highly uneven distribution between the hydrocarbons and oxygenated derivatives was observed, with a prevalence of non-oxygenated compounds ( Table 1).The leaf and flower oils were characterized by the presence of "green-leaf" volatiles, formed by unsaturated fatty acid ...
