Comparative Analysis on GCMS, Physicochemical and Anti-Microbial Properties of Aerial Parts of Plant Artemisia vulgaris Obtained from Two Different Altitudes

Essential Oil from wild growing Artemisia vulgaris L. originating in Erie, Pennsylvania was obtained by hydrodistillation of the aerial parts of the plant. Gas chromatographic-mass spectral analysis was used to identify the major volatiles present. Up to 22 components were detected in the essential oils. Germacrene D (25%), Caryophyllene (20%), α-Zingiberene (15%) and Borneol (11%) represent the major components of leaf oil, while the buds were rich in 1,8-Cineole (32%), Camphor (16%), Borneol (9%), and Caryophyllene (5%). trans-2-Hexenal was also detected in the aerial parts of the plant. α-Zingiberene and trans-2-Hexenal have not been previously reported for Artemisia vulgaris L. The major analytes are compared to those from Artemisia vulgaris L, originating outside of the United States.

AbstractDeoxypodophyllotoxin content of the aerial parts of Anthriscus sylvestris Hoffm. growing at different altitudes was evaluated in comparison to the roots. The lignan accumulation in ground parts was at least double compared to aerial ones. In addition antioxidant-guided fractionation of the crude methanol extract of aerial parts was performed with the 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) test. Active fractions contained mainly luteolin-7-O-glucoside and chlorogenic acid. Antioxidant properties of both crude extract and isolated compounds were also investigated with the Briggs-Rauscher (BR) oscillating reaction. A satisfactory agreement between the results obtained with the two methods was observed.

Abstract Artemisia vulgaris L. (Mugwort or Afsantin) has been used to treat various diseases since ancient times by the inhabitants of Himalayan region-Pakistan. Methanolic fractions (HA1-HA9) obtained from the aerial parts of A. vulgaris were evaluated for their antioxidant, antimicrobial and brine shrimp cytotoxic activities. Fraction HA8 showed substantial phenolics content with value of 26.29±1.4μgEQ/mg and DPPH scavenging (82.84±3.01%). Conversely, total flavonoids content of 7.32±0.07μgEQ/mg was determined in HA1 fraction. Fraction HA1 also showed significant cytotoxic effect with the value LD50 of 144.94μg/mL. Fractions HA7 and HA9 depicted maximum total antioxidant activity and ferric ion reduction (96.25±3.29 and AAE/mg and 176.91±8, respectively). All fractions showed encouraging results against bacterial strains Bordetella bronchiseptica and Micrococcus luteus, while HA2 fraction showed the highest percentage inhibition Mucor species with zone of inhibition of 13.25±0.35mm. A total of 7 fractions showed significant antileishmanial activity with survival percentage ranging 0.00 to 19. To sum up, results of the current study indicated that the plant can be further explored for isolation of antileishmanial and antimicrobial compounds, which could be used for drug development.

The aerial parts of Artemisia vulgaris were subjected for successive extraction in solvents methanol, hexane and chloroform, respectively, and compounds present in extract were analysed by GC-MS analysis 12 diﬀerent compounds were found in chloroform extract in which Germacrene was found most abundantly (33.84%). Chloroform extract showed strong antibacterial activity, which was examined against 6 bacteria using the disc diﬀusion method. The IC50 value of chloroform extract accounted for 1.50 mg/mL. The TPC content of the extract was found to be 87.75 mg gallic acid equivalent/g of dry extract, whereas TFC content was found to be 47.25 mg quercetin equivalent/g of dry extract and exhibited LC50 value of 0.18 mg/mL.

The World

Malaria mortality continues to increase across the world and represents the most important parasitic disease of man. Artemisia annua L. (Asteraceae) has been used to treat fevers in China for over two millennia and recently the clinical efficacy of teas and decoctions derived from this species have been demonstrated, using high artemisinin-yielding plants. Therefore, it is important to verify the artemisinin levels in local cultivations in areas where malaria is endemic and to assess how different geographical and climatic conditions may affect the efficacy of traditional treatments. In this study, samples of the aerial parts of A. annua (ANAMED 3 hybrid) cultivated in three different locations in Burundi were compared for their content of active principles. Artemisinin levels in the plant materials ranged from 0.20% to 0.35%, while total flavonoid contents ranged from 0.32% to 0.80%.
