The essential oils from aerial parts of Ferulago pachyloba (Fenzl) Boiss., F. platycarpa Boiss. Bal., F. isaurica Peşmen, and F. longistylis Boiss. (Apiaceae) were obtained by hydrodistillation and analyzed by GC and GC-MS. The highest oil yield (1.50%) was obtained from F. pachyloba followed by F. longistylis (0.16%), F. isaurica (0.08%) and F. platycarpa (0.07%). Fifty-three compounds were identified in the oil of F. pachyloba with ( Z)-β-ocimene (25.7%) and α-pinene (9.8%) as main constituents; sixty-seven in the oil of F. platycarpa with 2,3,6-trimethylbenzaldehyde (29.8%) and cis-chrysanthenyl acetate (24.2%) as main components; seventy-eight in the oil of F. isaurica with nonacosane (25.5%) and hexadecanoic acid (14.8%) as main constituents; and fifty-nine in the oil of F. longistylis with 2,3,6-trimethylbenzaldehyde (32.7%) and bornyl acetate (12.6%) as main components. Quantitative and qualitative differences in the oil compositions of these four species were observed.

The main objective of this study was to analyze and identify the essential oil composition of S. officinalis populations growing in Republic of Macedonia and to evaluate these data according to different standards’ requirements for, commercially most utilized, Dalmatian sage. The essential oil yield, obtained after hydrodestilation from leaves, of three different populations of Salvia officinalis L. from Republic of Macedonia was determined, varying from 1.40 to 3.46%. The GC/FID/MS analysis of the composition of the essential oils revealed 63, 57 and 51 components in Galicica Mtn., Jablanica Mtn. and Karaorman Mtn. sage populations, respectively. The main components of the oil, in all three samples, were the terpene hydrocarbons, encompassing the monoterpenes: camphor (13.15 - 25.91%), α-thujone (19.25 - 26.33%), β-thujone (2.03 - 5.28%), 1,8-cineole (6.51 – 13.60%), α-pinene (0.93 – 1.47%), borneol (1.07 – 4.67%), then sesquiterpenes: trans (E)-caryophyllene (1.72 – 5.33%), α-humulene (2.89 – 7.99%), viridiflorol (4.27 – 7.99%), and the diterpene manool (2.13 - 3.79%). Thus, our results for the essential oil composition of sage complied with the reference values specified in the DAC 86 monograph for Salvia essential oil.

The essential oil composition from the aerial parts of three Anacardiaceae growing in Bahía Blanca, Argentina was studied by gas chromatography and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. The essential oils of S. longifolia and S. fasciculata have been studied for the first time. The major constituents were α-pinene (46.5%), β-pinene (15.1%) and α-phellandrene (10.1%) for S. longifolia and limonene (10.9%), β-phellandrene (6.16%) and α-phellandrene (5.6%) for S. fasciculata. The major components of the essential oil of S. areira were limonene (28.6%), α-phellandrene (10.1%), sabinene (9.2%) and camphene (9.2%) differing from the literature data. The essential oils from S. areira and S. longifolia exhibited a high biotoxicity in a brine shrimp assay with Artemia persimilis.

A water-distilled essential oil (EO) from the aerial parts of Pimpinella cypria Boiss. (Apiaceae), an endemic species in northern Cyprus, was analyzed by GC-FID and GC-MS. Forty-five compounds were identified in the oil, which comprised 81.7% of the total composition. The compound classes in the oil were oxygenated sesquiterpenes (33.9%), sesquiterpenes (22.0%), monoterpenes (11.4%), oxygenated monoterpenes (2.6%), and phenylpropanoids (7.5%). The main components of the oil were ( Z)-β-farnesene (6.0%), spathulenol (5.9%), ar-curcumene (4.3%), and 1,5-epoxy-salvial(4)14-ene (3.8%). The P. cypria EO deterred yellow fever mosquitoes (Aedes aegypti) from biting at a concentration of 10 μg/cm2 in in vitro bioassays. The oil was tested for repellency in assays using human volunteers. The oil had a minimum effective dosage (MED) for repellency of 47 ± 41 μg/cm2 against Ae. aegypti, which was less efficacious than the positive control N,N-diethyl-3-methylbenzamide (DEET). In larval bioassays, P. cypria EO showed an LC50 value of 28.3 ppm against 1st instar Ae. aegypti larvae. P. cypria EO demonstrated dose dependent repellency against nymphs of the lone star tick, Amblyomma americanum. Between 45.0% and 85.0% repellency was observed at concentrations ranging from 26 to 208 μg/cm2. However, P. cypria EO was less effective compared with DEET in the tick bioassays. Cytotoxicity assays showed that the P. cypria EO did not exhibit significant effects up to the maximum treatment concentration of 50 μg/mL on HEK293, PC3, U87MG, and MCF cells. P. cypria EO also demonstrated moderate antimicrobial activity against Gram-negative and -positive bacteria with MICs ranging from 15.6 to 62.5 μg/mL, except for Candida albicans, which showed the same MIC value of 7.8 μg/mL as the positive control, flucytosine. This is the first report on the chemical composition of P. cypria EO and its insecticidal, toxicant, cytotoxic, and antimicrobial activity.
