The aerial part of Artemisia iwayomogi KITAMURA has traditionally been used for antitumour, immunomodulating, antimutagenic, antioxidant, antibacterial, antifungal, antipyretic, diuretic, liver protective effect, and choleretic purposes in Korea. The chemical composition of the essential oil obtained from A. iwayomogi was analyzed by GC/MS. The essential oil and its major compounds were tested ...

the genus artemisia is estimated to comprise over 800 species with anti-cancer, anti-fungal, anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. artemisia fragrans ( a. fragrans ), a species that belongs to genus artemisia , is rich in monoterpenes and sesquiterpenes derivatives. due to anti-inflammatory properties of monoterpenes and sesquiterpenes, we aimed to investigate the effect of a. fragrans...

The composition of the essential oil obtained from the dried flowering aerial parts of Artemisia annua L. (Compositae) was analysed by GC and GC/MS. Thirty-two components were identified in the essential oil of A. annua L. with campher (48.00%), 1,8-cineole (9.39%), camphene (6.98%) and spathulenol (4.89%) as major components. The essential oil was evaluated for antibacterial and antifungal act...

PURPOSE Carrying out the chemical composition and antiproliferative effects against cancer cells from different biological parts of Artemisia herba alba. METHODS Essential oils were studied by gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and their antitumoral activity was tested against P815 mastocytoma and BSR kidney carcinoma cell lines; also, in order to evaluate the effect on n...

The essential oil of Artemisia caerulescens subsp. gallica was observed to have analgesic, antipyretic and anti-inflammatory actions when administered intraperitoneally to rats and mice at doses one-fourth to one-third that of its LD50 of 1.35 ml/kg. Lysine acetylsalicylate was used as a reference compound.
