Abstract In the current study, we used high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC–MS) to investigate analyze methanolic extract of Salvia rosmarinus leaves. HPLC analysis showed that revealed a diverse array polyphenolic compounds, including apigenin, catechin, chlorogenic acid, cinnamic caffeic coumaric daidzein, ellagic ferulic gallic hesperetin...

The mechanism of ixodid tick (Acari: Ixodidae) repellency by gum haggar, a resin produced by Commiphora holtziana (Burseraceae), was investigated by evaluating activity against the cattle tick, Boophilus microplus. In an arena bioassay, a hexane extract of the resin of C. holtziana exhibited a repellent effect lasting up to 5h. The hydrocarbon fraction of the resin extract was shown to account ...

the volatile constituents of the aerial parts of varthemia. persica dc. var. persica, growing wild in iran, were investigated by gc-ms. sixty seven constituents were identified. ?-cadinene (9.7%), selin-11-en-4-?-ol (5.30%), germacrene d (4.9%), bicyclogermacrene (4.7%), ??muurolene (4.7%), ?-eudesmol (4.52%), ?-himachalen oxide (3.6%), ?-eudesmol (3.54%), ?-bourbonene (3.21%) were found to be ...

The essential oil of Stachys lavandulifolia Vahl (Lamiaceae) was isolated by hydrodistillation of the aerial parts of the plant, with a yield of 0.25%. The chemical composition of volatile oil was analyzed by capillary GC and GC/ MS. The main components were germacrene-D (13.2%), ?-phellandrene (12.7%), ?-pinene (10.2%), myrcene (9.4%), ?-pinene (8.4%) and Z-?-ocimene (5.8%).

Cyanobacteria are a rich source of natural products and are known to produce terpenoids. These bacteria are the major source of the musty-smelling terpenes geosmin and 2-methylisoborneol, which are found in many natural water supplies; however, no terpene synthases have been characterized from these organisms to date. Here, we describe the characterization of three sesquiterpene synthases ident...

Received 10th December, 2012 Received in revised form 20, December, 2012 Accepted 5th January, 2013 Published online 31th January, 2013 Objective: To determine the mosquito larvicidal activity of leaf essential oil and their chemical constituents from Clausena anisata (Willd.) Hook. f. ex Benth. against Anopheles subpictus and Aedes albopictus. In addition, the chemical composition of the leaf ...

Optimisation of steam extraction of oil from maritime pine needles S.A. REZZOUG University of La Rochelle, LEPTIAB. EA 4226, UFR Sciences. Avenue M.

Essential oils from fresh leaves, flowers and dried fruits of Vitex negundo were obtained by hydrodistillation. Using Soxhlet extractor five successive extracts from dried and powdered leaves were also taken. The chemical constituents of essential oil of leaves, flowers and dried fruits were analyzed by GC-FID and GC/MS techniques. Main constituents identified in leaves oil were delta-guaiene, ...

The essential oil obtained from the aerial parts of Marrubium deserti de Noé. (Lamiaceae), growing in the North fringe of the Algerian Sahara, was analyzed by GC-MS. Thirty-eight compounds were identified, representing 99.70% of the total oils. The GC-MS analysis revealed the presence of tetracosane, germacrene D, Δ-cadinene, α-cadinol and t-cadinol as the main constituents, representing 31.11%...
