Abstract
ABSTRACT Artemisia kanashiroi, is an important aromatic medicinal plant that is endemic to China. In the study, the chemical components of essential oil (EO) of A. kanashiroi obtained from different regions in China were analyzed. The results indicated that oxygenated monoterpenes are the predominant components of all EOs, and the major components were 1,8-cineole, camphor, terpine-4-ol, α-terpineol and spathulenol. The chemical composition of EOs exhibited ecological diversity driven by geographical factors. Furthermore, we evaluated the in vitro biological activities of the EOs, including their antioxidant and antibacterial activities. All of the EOs exhibited moderate to potent, broad-spectrum antibacterial and antifungal activities targeting both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. However, none of the EOs showed significant activity against the tested fungal strains. The antioxidant activity of the EOs was evaluated based on their scavenging activity against 2, 2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) free radicals, and all of the EOs showed significant concentration-dependent DPPH free radical scavenging activity.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Essential Oil Research ( JEOR) is the major forum for the publication of essential oil research and analysis. Each issue includes studies performed on the chemical composition of some of the 20,000 aromatic plants known in the plant kingdom. JEOR is devoted entirely to all phases of research from every corner of the world by the experts in their field. JEOR''s main areas of focus include:
-Analytical chemistry-
Biological activity-
Biotechnology-
Chemical composition-
Chemical synthesis-
Chemosystematics-
Microbiological activity-
Plant biochemistry/biosynthesis-
Toxicology.
Published six times per year, JEOR provides articles on the aromatic principles of a plant or its isolates and are directed toward furthering our readers'' knowledge of the aromatic plant and animal kingdoms.
