The chemical composition and antimicrobial and antiradical activities of the essential oils isolated from unripe and ripe fruits of S. globiferum Vis. (Apiaceae) have been determined. The most abundant constituent in the essential oils of unripe and ripe fruits was sabinene (53.1% and 65.3%), followed by γ-terpinene (7.7% and 6.6%), α-pinene (7.2% and 4.4%), and β-phellandrene (5.0% and 4.9%). Antibacterial and antifungal properties of these oils were evaluated using a modified microdilution technique. Scavenging activity was determined by the DPPH radical assay. The essential oils exhibited significant antimicrobial, but low antiradical activity.

Leaves of Lippia thymoides (Verbenaceae) were dried in an oven at 40, 50 and 60 °C and the kinetic of drying and the influence of the drying process on the chemical composition, yield, and DPPH radical scavenging activity of the obtained essential oils were evaluated. The composition of the essential oils was determined with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry and gas chromatography-flame ionization detection analyses. The influence of drying on the chemical composition of the essential oils of L. thymoides was evaluated by multivariate analysis, and their antioxidant activity was investigated via the 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) assay. The Midilli model was the most appropriate to describe the behavior of drying kinetic data of L. thymoides leaves. Thymol was the major compound for all analyzed conditions; the maximum content was obtained from fresh leaves (62.78 ± 0.63%). The essential oils showed DPPH radical scavenging activity with an average of 73.10 ± 12.08%, and the fresh leaves showed higher inhibition (89.97 ± 0.31%). This is the first study to evaluate the influence of drying on the chemical composition and antioxidant activity of L. thymoides essential oils rich in thymol.

The antiradical properties of essential oils from the inflorescences of Filipendula ulmaria (L). Maxim, herbages Hypericum perforatum L. and Pulmonaria mollis Wulfen ex HORNEM., growing on the territory of the Krasnoyarsk territory were studied. For this purpose, the reaction of essential oil components with a stable free 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl radical was used. Essential oil of the plants under study received comprehensive hydroponically. The component composition of the oils was determined by chromatography-mass spectrometry. The main components of essential oil of F. ulmaria inflorescences are methyl salicylate (28.2%), salicylic aldehyde (2.8 %) and linalool (4.9%), essential oil of H. perforatum – γ - amorphene (30.7%), δ-cadinen (7.1%), (E, E)-β-farnesene (5.5%), caryophyllene (5.0%), ledol (5.0%), essential oil of P. mollis – di-n-butyl phthalate (18.7%), docosan (13.4%), tetracosan (11.6 %). The results of the DPPH test showed that the essential oils of the inflorescences of F. ulmaria and the aboveground part of H. perforatum and P. mollis exhibit antiradical activity (ARA). According to the size of the ARA of essential oils, the studied plants can be arranged in the following row: P. mollis > F. ulmaria > H. perforatum.

This study aimed to characterize and compare essential oils and ethyl acetate fractions obtained in basic and acidic conditions from both male and female Baccharis species (Baccharis myriocephala and Baccharis trimera) from two different Brazilian regions. Samples were characterized according to their chemical compositions and antiradical activity by 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and 2,2′-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS) assays. Principal component analysis (PCA) provided a clear separation regarding the chemical composition of essential oils from the samples obtained from different regions by using gas chromatography–mass spectrometry with flame-ionization detection (GC-MS-FID). PCA also revealed that gender and region of plant collections did not influence the chemical composition and antiradical activity of ethyl acetate fractions, which was corroborated with hierarchical cluster analysis (HCA) data. High performance liquid chromatography with diode-array detector (HPLC-DAD) identified significant quantities of flavonoids and phenolic acids in the fractions obtained in basic and acidic fractions, respectively. The obtained results clearly demonstrated that the geographical region of plant collection influenced the chemical composition of essential oils from the studied Baccharis species. Moreover, the obtained fractions were constituted by several antiradical compounds, which reinforced the usage of these species in folk medicine.

AbstractThe chemical composition of the essential oils from the leaves and fruit ofEucalyptus camaldulensisgrown in Mersin, Turkey was analyzed using gas chromatography (GC) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) techniques. The biological activities (antibacterial and antifungal) were examined using the agar well diffusion method. The main leaf oil constituents werep-cymene (42.1%), eucalyptol (1,8-cineole) (14.1%), α-pinene (12.7%) and α-terpinol (10.7%). The main constituents of the fruit oil were eucalyptol (1,8-cineole) (34.5%),p-cymene (30.0%), α-terpinol (15.1%) and α-pinene (9.0%). Our results showed that both types of oils are rich in terms of monoterpene hydrocarbons and oxygenated monoterpenes. The leaf and fruit essential oils ofE. camaldulensissignificantly inhibited the growth of Gram-positive (Staphylococcus aureusandBacillus subtilis) and Gram-negative (Escherichia coliandStreptococcussp.) bacteria (p<0.05). The oils also showed fungicidal activity againstCandida tropicalisandC. globrata. Leaf essential oils showed more activity than fruit essential oils, probably due to the higher p-cymene concentration in leaves.

Antioxidant activities of essential oils from leaves of Piper betle L. (T) and Cleistocalyx operculatus L. (V), and aerial parts of Ageratum conyzoides L. (H) natively grown in Thua Thien Hue province of Vietnam were investigated.Quantitative structure–activity relationship (QSAR) model was constructed from the 27 compounds including 4-hydroxy-chromene-2H-one and its derivatives. DPPH (1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl) radical scavenging activity was applied to estimate the antioxidant property of these essential oils through IC50 (mg/mL) values. QSAR model is used to predict the radical scavenging activity IC50 mg/mL of T, V, and H. The results indicate that there is a good agreement between the experimental data and the predicted values using the QSAR model. The three essential oils display the DPPH radical scavenging activities with the IC50 values being in the order of T > H > V of 3.71 mg/mL,596.44 mg/mL and 637.03 mg/mL, respectively. The essential oil of T exhibits the strong DPPH radical scavenging activity that is close to the reference compound ascorbic acid (IC50 value of 3.03 mg /mL).

The antiradical activity of grape seeds and olive pits extracts were investigated. The aim of this study is evaluating the radical scavenging activity of methanol extracts of olive pits and grape seeds and to recover a functional and antiradical compound from olive oil and fruit juices factories waste and also for environmental treatment. The antiradical properties of ripe and unripe olive pits (RIOP and URIOP) and grape seeds (IGS) that are respectively used in Iranian oil industries and fruit juices producers are examined. All seeds and pits extracts showed DPPH radical scavenging activity ranging from 24.51 to 97.06. For this purpose a methanolic extract was prepared from each of the RIOP, URIOP and IGS and their radical scavenging ability is determined with DPPH method. For this trial the effect of 3 different dilutions (100, 200 and 300 ?g/L) of RIOP, URIOP, IGS extracts was used, separately. It was appeared that in above 100 ppm concentrations the antiradical properties reaches to its maximum activity. Also, IGS extract shows better effects in 100 ppm concentrations in comparison with RIOP, URIOP and ascorbic acid. The study shows that grape seeds can be used as a rich source of functional and antiradical compound and anticancer drugs production.

The essential oils (EOs) of leaves and twigs of Endlicheria arenosa Chanderb. were obtained by hydrodistillation using a Clevenger-type apparatus and the chemical composition was determined by GC and GC-MS. In total, 47 constituents were identified and sesquiterpene hydrocarbons (77.6%) were the main compounds found in the leaf EO, such as bicyclogermacrene (42.2%), germacrene D (12.5%) and β-caryophyllene (10.1%). Limonene (33.2%), terpinen-4-ol (15.6%) and δ-cadinol (6.9%) were the predominant constituents in the EO of the twigs. Using the DPPH radical-scavenging method, the EO of the leaves showed the greater radical-scavenging activity (216.5 ± 11.6 mg Trolox equivalents (TE)/mL compared to the EO of the twigs (122.6 ± 6.8 mg TE/mL). Also, the EO of leaves displayed promising antimicrobial activity against Escherichia coli (MIC 19.5 μg•mL−1). The present study is the first report about evaluation of volatile oils for this species.
