Background: Eucalyptus camaldulensis Dehnh abundantly found in Erbil, Iraq and commonly used as antispasmodic and antipyretic remedy for treating respiratory tract diseases. The present study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of E. camaldulensis in achieving glucose homeostasis through the inhibition of α-glucosidase enzyme using in-vitro model and also determine the chemical composition of essential oil by gas chromatography mass spectroscopy (GC/MS). Methods: The chemical composition of E. camaldulensis essential oil by was determined by GC/MS and its antidiabetic activity was assessed through inhibition of α-glucosidase enzyme in in-vitro models. Results: The essential oil yielded 40chemical constituents amounting to 98.55%. The major constituents of essential oil of E. camaldulensis leaf were 1,8-cineole (28.4%), isocaryophyllene oxide (8.4%), β-ocimene (7.9%), α-farnesene (7.9%), globulol (7.3%), terpinen-4-ol (7.6%), isophytol (3.6%), viridiflorol (3.2%), p-cymen-3-ol (3.1%) and α-bisabolol (1.2%). The essential oil of E. camaldulensis showed concentration dependent inhibition of α-glucosidase enzyme and the inhibition range from 75.38±2.09 to 6.08±1.89% for concentration 100 to 3.125 µg/mL. The α-glucosidase inhibition of E. camaldulensis (IC50 value 16.7±2.61 µg/mL) was found almost comparable with standard drug acarbose (IC50 value 12.04±3.17 µg/mL). Conclusion: The result of this study concluded that E. camaldulensis essential oil having 1,8-cineole, isocaryophyllene oxide and β-ocimene as major constituents, the study findings also confirm the traditional claim of its use in the treatment of diabetes mellitus.

In the current study the essential oil obtained from the leaves of Eucalyptus camaldulensis plants collected from five localities of the Montenegro coastline was analyzed. The oil yield varied from 0.63 % (Kotor) up to 1.59% (Tivat). The chemical composition of the leaf essential oil was analyzed using GC-MS technique. Monoterpene hydrocarbons were a major class of compounds. Among them, dominant compounds were p-cymene (17.38-28.60%), ?-phellandrene (12.35-14.47%) and ?-pinene (0.94-11.48%). The second largest group was oxygenated monoterpenes with cryptone (4.97-7.25) and terpinene-4-ol (2.75-4.21%) as predominant. Besides high content of sesquiterpene alcohol spathulenol (7.83-14.15%) was found. According to the results obtained E. camaldulensis from Montenegro can be classified in the chemotype with low 1,8-cineole and high p-cymene and cryptone ratio.

In the present study, the essential oil from the leaves of River Red Gum (Eucalyptus camaldulensis Dehnh) was distilled by microwave applied in situ hydrodistillation (MWHD) and the properties obtained were compared with hydrodistillation (HD) techniques. The chemical composition of essential oil obtained by the microwave method was analyzed by gas chromatography (GC) and GC–mass spectrometry (MS). The results showed that the essential oil from E. camaldulensis could successfully be distilled by using microwave irradiation power. Microwave power has been supplied from a cavity having a multimode microwave reactor 2455 MHz with a maximum power of 1000 W. Electromagnetic power distribution has been analyzed inside the cavity. The yield of essential oil increased with increasing microwave irradiation power. It was also found that the content of main compounds clearly varied according to methods applied. However, the yield of essential oil determined by MWHD was slightly lower than that of conventional HD method at conditions studied.

Essential oil (EO) from aerial parts of Eucalyptus camaldulensis Dehnh., growing wild in different localities of Sardinia (Italy), was extracted by steam distillation and analyzed by gas chromatography (GC) FID and GC-ion trap mass spectrometry (ITMS). The yields of EO (v/dry wt) ranged between 0.2-0.5%. Samples were harvested between April and December to study the seasonal chemical variability of the EO. The chemical composition varied depending on the different origins and showed strong fluctuation during the vegetative stage. Thirty-seven compounds, accounting for at least 97.7% of the total EOs were identified, the major components being p-cymene (27.8-42.7%), 1,8-cineole (4.1-39.5%), β-phellandrene (3.9-23.8%), spathulenol (2.1-15.5%) and cryptone (3.2-10.2%). The oils possessed moderate amounts (1.4-4.7%) of two uncommon aldehydes, cuminal and phellandral. The essential oils were screened for their antifungal activities against common phytopathogenic fungi using the paper disk diffusion method and they showed activity at low doses against the fungi tested. The antioxidant activity, assessed by DPPH-test and expressed as Trolox equivalent antioxidant capacity, showed values ranging between 0.5 and 5.8 mmol/L.

The rate of development of caterpillars of Pieris rapae L. on rape leaves was not affected by whether their host plants were water-stressed or not, nor were weights of the pupae affected. Survival was high on unstressed plants and was not enhanced on stressed plants. Similarly, the rate of development of larvae of Paropsis atomaria Oliver and the weight of the prepupae were unaffected by stress in young shoots of red gum, Eucalyptus camaldulensis Dehnh., on which the larvae were feeding. In both species of plant, the degree of stress applied significantly increased the total nitrogen and amino content of the leaves. In the gum leaves, phenolic content varied inversely with nitrogen content: In well watered plants at temperatures below 25�C. phenolic compounds increased and nitrogenous compounds decreased in attacked leaves, compared with leaves on unattacked shoots of the same plant. No such differences were apparent when the plants were water-stressed, however, nor in watered plants at temperatures above 30�C.
