Abstract

Many researchers and manufacturers around the world have shown interest in essential oils and their components. Artemisia absinthium L., commonly known as wormwood, is a medicinal and aromatic bitter herb frequently used in traditional medicine since ancient times. The objective of this research was to study the chemical composition and evaluate the insecticidal activities of A. absinthium essential oil (AEO) against Tenebrio molitor L., mealworm battle. We explored its effectiveness through several means, including direct contact, fumigation and repulsion of insects. Phytochemical analysis was performed using GC-MS technique. The main components identified in the essential oil were camphor (32.34%), chamazulene (13.92%), and terpinen-4-ol (10.18%). These results highlight that Algerian A. absinthium plants are valuable resources due to their bioactive compounds. In particular, the results obtained in our investigation suggest that the essential oil obtained from A. absinthium has the potential to be used as a natural bioinsecticide.

苦艾蒿精油的化学成分和对天牛成虫的杀虫活性

世界各地的许多研究人员和制造商都对精油及其成分产生了浓厚的兴趣。苦艾（Artemisia absinthium L.），俗称艾草，是一种药用芳香苦草，自古以来经常被用于传统医药中。本研究的目的是研究苦艾精油（AEO）的化学成分并评估其对黄粉虫（Tenebrio molitor L.）的杀虫活性。我们通过直接接触、熏蒸和驱虫等几种方法探讨了其有效性。我们使用 GC-MS 技术进行了植物化学分析。经鉴定，精油中的主要成分为樟脑（32.34%）、香樟木烯（13.92%）和萜品烯-4-醇（10.18%）。这些结果表明，阿尔及利亚苦艾属植物因其生物活性化合物而成为宝贵的资源。特别是，我们的研究结果表明，从苦艾草中提取的精油具有作为天然生物杀虫剂的潜力。

期刊介绍： Biochemical Systematics and Ecology is devoted to the publication of original papers and reviews, both submitted and invited, in two subject areas: I) the application of biochemistry to problems relating to systematic biology of organisms (biochemical systematics); II) the role of biochemistry in interactions between organisms or between an organism and its environment (biochemical ecology). In the Biochemical Systematics subject area, comparative studies of the distribution of (secondary) metabolites within a wider taxon (e.g. genus or family) are welcome. Comparative studies, encompassing multiple accessions of each of the taxa within their distribution are particularly encouraged. Welcome are also studies combining classical chemosystematic studies (such as comparative HPLC-MS or GC-MS investigations) with (macro-) molecular phylogenetic studies. Studies that involve the comparative use of compounds to help differentiate among species such as adulterants or substitutes that illustrate the applied use of chemosystematics are welcome. In contrast, studies solely employing macromolecular phylogenetic techniques (gene sequences, RAPD studies etc.) will be considered out of scope. Discouraged are manuscripts that report known or new compounds from a single source taxon without addressing a systematic hypothesis. Also considered out of scope are studies using outdated and hard to reproduce macromolecular techniques such as RAPDs in combination with standard chemosystematic techniques such as GC-FID and GC-MS.
