There are many motives to study alkaloids within Crassulaceae family, such as chemotaxonomic consideration of alkaloid distribution and evaluation of their biological potential. Data on alkaloids from Sedum telephium (syn. H. telephium) aroused interest for further alkaloid investigation within the genus Hylotelephium H. Ohba. Thus, the aim of this study was to investigate and characterize other plant sources of alkaloids from the same genus. An alkaloid extract (AE-HS) was isolated from fresh aerial parts of a cultivated hybrid H. spectabile x telephium. The chemical composition of AE-HS was determined by GC-MS (gas chromatography - mass spectrometry) method. Eight components were identified, which made up 91.8% of the sample. The most present component of AE-HS was g-crotonolactone (78.6%) followed by 3-methyl-2-butenal (8.6%) and (E)-coniferyl alcohol (2.8%). Nicotine was identified as the only alkaloid in the AE-HS (0.4%). Along with many non-alkaloid compounds, a previous study found six alkaloids in AE of S. telephium (~7%), suggesting differences from our results. Additionally, alkaloid distribution is limited within other genera of the family and belonging to the same genus does not mean a uniform qualitative composition. Further analyzes of AEs of Hylotelephium taxa would certainly shed light on the pattern of alkaloid distribution.

In the present study, chemical composition and antibacterial properties of essential oil obtained from the aerial parts of the Melicope pteleifolia (Champ. ex Benth.) T.G Hartley in Dalat were evaluated. Essential oil was isolated through hydro-distillation. Twenty-nine constituents comprising 100% of the essential oil were characterized by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC-MS) techniques. The major compounds in the essential oil were (+)-Sabinene (34.73%), Cis-α-bergamotene (13.15%), Z-α-trans-bergamotol (5.28%), β-mycrene (4.98%), and 1,3,6-octatriene, 3,7-dimethyl-(4.71%). Antibacterial activities of Melicope pteleifolia essential oil were investigated against Gram-positive and-negative bacteria. Results showed significant activities against Streptococcus pyogenes and Escherichia coli using an agar well diffusion method. The application of this essential oil in preventing and eliminating bacteria could be useful in fields as medicine and cosmetics.

The chemical composition of the essential oils from the leaves and stem bark of Eclipta prostrata (L.) L. and the aerial parts of Vernonia amygdalina Delile (Asteraceae) have been analyzed by capillary gas chromatography (GC) and gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS). The investigation led to the identification of 33 and 30 compounds in the oils of the leaves and stem of E. prostrate, respectively, and 40 compounds in the oil of V. amygdalina. While the oil of the leaves of E. prostrata was highly dominated by sesquiterpenoids (89.3%), the stem bark was comprised of sesquiteprenoids (47.7%), straight chain hydrocarbons (25.6%) and monoterpenoids (11.1%). The main constituents of both oils were β-caryophyllene (47.7% and 15.9%) and α-humulene (31.8 and 12.9%) in the leaves and stem, respectively. In addition, ( E)-β-farnesene (10.0%) was also identified in significant amount in the stem bark. On the other hand, the major component of V. amygdalina oil was α-muurolol (45.7%).

The chemical composition and antimicrobial activity of the essential oil from the aerial parts of Euphorbia helioscopia L. were investigated by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), GC, and microdilution methods. Thirty-five compounds, representing 83.51% of the total oil, were identified. 1,6-Dihydrocarveol (31.39%), carvone (16.79%), menthol (8.23%), and trans-dihydrocarvone (5.53%) were the principal constituents of the oil. The essential oil exhibited strong antimicrobial activity against strains of the bacteria, Staphylococcus aureus, Enterococcus faecalis, Escherichia coli, Shigella dysenteriae, and a strain of the fungus Candida albicans with a minimal inhibitory concentration value of 31.25 μg/mL and minimum bactericidal concentration values of 31.25 μg/mL ( S. aureus), 62.50 μg/mL ( E. faecalis), >62.50 μg/mL ( E. coli), >62.50 μg/mL ( S. dysenteriae), and >62.50 μg/mL ( C. albicans). These results indicated that the essential oil from the aerial parts of E. helioscopia could be used to control diseases caused by these microbes.

The roots ofEchinops latifoliusTausch (Asteraceae) have been used in the traditional medicine. However, no report on chemical composition and insecticidal activities of the essential oil of this plant exists. The aim of this research was to determine chemical composition and insecticidal activities of the essential oil ofE. latifoliusaerial parts against maize weevils (Sitophilus zeamaisMotschulsky) for the first time. Essential oil ofE. latifoliusaerial parts at flowering stage was obtained by hydrodistillation and analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). A total of 35 components of the essential oil ofE. latifoliusaerial parts were identified. The major compounds in the essential oil were 1,8-cineole (19.63%), (Z)-β-ocimene (18.44%), andβ-pinene (15.56%) followed byβ-myrcene (4.75%) and carvone (4.39%). The essential oil ofE. latifoliuspossessed contact toxicity againstS. zeamaiswith an LD50value of 36.40 µg/adult. The essential oil also exhibited fumigant toxicity againstS. zeamaiswith an LC50value of 9.98 mg/L. The study indicates that the essential oil ofE. latifoliusaerial parts has a potential for development into a natural insecticide/fumigant for control of insects in stored grains.

The combination of 13C nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, gas chromatography (GC) (retention index), and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry was used to determine the chemical composition of essential oils of Piper guineense and Piper umbellatum from Côte d’Ivoire. Thus, 54 components, accounting for 91.5% to 97.6%, were identified in the essential oil from aerial parts of P. guineense. In P. umbellatum leaf oil, 49 compounds accounting for 92.8% to 98.7% were identified. Both plants oils were dominated by monoterpenes and sesquiterpenes, with α-phellandrene, (2 E,6 E)-farnesol, and linalool as major compounds of P. guineense, whereas the most abundant components of P. umbellatum were linalool and ( E)-β-caryophyllene. (2 E,6 E)-Farnesol, identified for the first time in the essential oil from aerial parts of P. guineense, induced a new chemical composition.

The aerial parts of Аrtemisia annua L. were collected from Varzob, Rudaki, and Hisor regions of Tajikistan. The essential oil was obtained by hydrodistillation and analyzed by gas chromatography–mass spectrometry. The essential oils of aerial parts of А. annua were dominated by the monoterpenoids like camphor (32.5%-58.9%), 1,8-cineole (13.7%-17.8%), camphene (4.5%-8.4%), and α-pinene (1.9%-7.3%). Hierarchical cluster analysis of A. annua essential oils indicated the existence of 3 A. annua chemotypes: camphor/1,8-cineole, camphor, and artemisia ketone. The essential oils of А. annua show weak antioxidant activity and average antibacterial activity. In our opinion, the antibacterial activity of А. annua essential oils is related to the presence of 1,8-cineole. To our best knowledge, this is the first report concerning the chemical composition, chemotypic variation, antioxidant, and antimicrobial activities of the essential oils obtained from the aerial parts of А. annua, growing wild in Tajikistan.
