Essential Oil of Azorella cryptantha Collected in Two Different Locations from San Juan Province, Argentina: Chemical Variability and Anti-Insect and Antimicrobial Activities

The essential oils (EOs) of two populations of Azorella cryptantha (Clos) Reiche, a native species from San Juan Province, were obtained by hydrodistillation in a Clevenger-type apparatus and characterized by GC-FID and GC/MS analyses. The compounds identified amounted to 92.3 and 88.7% of the total oil composition for A. cryptantha from Bauchaceta (Ac-BAU) and Agua Negra (Ac-AN), respectively. The EO composition for the two populations was similar, although with differences in the identity and content of the main compounds and also in the identity of minor components. The main compounds of the Ac-BAU EO were α-pinene, α-thujene, sabinene, δ-cadinene, δ-cadinol, trans-β-guaiene, and τ-muurolol, while α-pinene, α-thujene, β-pinene, γ-cadinene, τ-cadinol, δ-cadinene, τ-muurolol, and a not identified compound were the main constituents of the Ac-AN EO, which also contained 3.0% of oxygenated monoterpenes. The repellent activity on Triatoma infestans nymphs was 100 and 92% for the Ac-AN and Ac-BAU EOs, respectively. Regarding the toxic effects on Ceratitis capitata, the EOs were very active with LD(50) values lower than 11?μg/fly. The dermatophytes Microsporum gypseum, Trichophyton rubrum, and T. mentagrophytes and the bacterial strains Escherichia coli LM(1) , E. coli LM(2) , and Yersinia enterocolitica PI were more sensitive toward the Ac-AN EO (MIC 125?μg/ml) than toward the Ac-BAU EO. This is the first report on the composition of A. cryptantha EO and its anti-insect and antimicrobial properties.

Survival in different habitats: Extreme ultramafic and calcareous soils affect Stachys recta essential oils composition

Two populations of Stachys recta growing in Italy on ultramafic and calcareous soils have been studied for their essential oils. Although the yields were comparable, the composition of the essential oils differed significantly. Plants growing on ultramafic soil produced mainly non-terpene derivatives (55.7%), of which the most abundant ones were 1-octen-3-ol (38.2%) and (E)-3-hexen-1-ol (5.9%); the terpenes α-cadinol (6.1%) and δ-cadinene (5.6%) were also significantly represented. In contrast, the populations living on calcareous soil produced an essential oil dominated by terpenes (93.8%), with germacrene D (18.8%), β-caryophyllene (17.7%), 1,8-cineole (15.9%) and α-pinene (14.2%) among the main components.

马尾松枝条挥发性组分的鉴定及松墨天牛对其触角电生理反应

为研究松墨天牛Monochamus alternatus Hope取食期引诱剂,利用气相色谱-质谱(GC-MS)联用技术并与标样核对分析了马尾松(Pinus massoniana Lamb.)枝条挥发性气味的化学组成。结果表明,马尾松1年生、2年生、3年生枝条气味均由8种萜烯类物质组成,但各组分相对含量不同。经方差分析,α-蒎烯、莰烯、β-蒎烯、柠檬烯、萜品油烯、β-石竹烯在3种枝条中的相对百分含量的差异均达到极显著水平。1年生枝条中α-蒎烯、莰烯和萜品油烯的相对含量最小,分别为20.81%、0.43%和4.74%,而β-蒎烯、月桂烯和柠檬烯的相对含量最高,分别为12.37%、4.33%和4.53%。鉴定的化合物对松墨天牛雌雄成虫的触角电生理反应的实验,结果表明,松墨天牛雌雄成虫对α-蒎烯的反应最强,对β-石竹烯的反应最弱。     

不同危害状态下寄主萜烯挥发物含量的变化及松墨天牛对其组分的触角电位反应

用气相色谱-质谱（GC-MS）联用法对5种生理状态（健康、人为物理损伤、饵木、取食和产卵）的马尾松Pinus massoniana和取食危害状态的雪松Cedrus deodara的萜烯进行分析。研究结果显示,5种生理状态下,α-蒎烯在萜烯组分中均占有最高比例。健康状态下马尾松树干和树枝中的萜烯组分不同且含量有显著差异。随着饵木的衰弱进程,α-蒎烯的相对含量显著减少,β-蒎烯的含量显著增加,我们推测,α-蒎烯与β-蒎烯的相对比例越小则寄主树势衰弱的程度越深,其两者比例的变化是马尾松寄主树势衰弱程度变化的一个重要信号。人为物理损伤的马尾松树干与树枝的α-蒎烯、β-蒎烯和β-水芹烯含量差异显著。不同产卵危害程度的马尾松树干萜烯类组分不同,同一产卵危害程度的马尾松树干上部和下部的多数萜烯组分相对含量差异显著,但变化无明显规律。取食危害状态下马尾松和雪松萜烯种类不同且含量差异显著。重度产卵危害马尾松树干与取食危害树枝萜烯中,α-蒎烯、β-蒎烯、柠檬烯和β-水芹烯相对含量差异显著。第13天的饵木与人为物理损伤的马尾松树干的萜烯中,饵木的β-蒎烯和柠檬烯相对百分含量均比人为物理损伤状态的高,而α-蒎烯则相反。α-蒎烯和β-蒎烯在取食危害树枝中的含量显著高于健康树枝,而β-月桂烯、β水芹烯和反式石竹烯在健康状态树枝中的含量显著高于取食危害树枝。除了α-蒎烯和β蒎烯,健康状态与产卵危害状态的马尾松树干萜烯相对含量大都差异显著。α-蒎烯,β-蒎烯和β-水芹烯在人为物理损伤与虫害状态的马尾松树干及树枝中含量差异较大。总之,α-蒎烯、β-蒎烯和β-水芹烯很可能是影响和调节松墨天牛取食和产卵行为最为重要的信号物质。松墨天牛Monochamus alternatus Hope对寄主萜烯的触角电位（EAG）表明,该天牛对β-蒎烯的EAG活性高于其他萜烯,乙醇也能引起较高的EAG反应活性,但总体上对单一萜烯的EAG反应活性不强,且存在雌雄差异。     

星天牛对青皮垂柳挥发物的电生理及行为反应

【目的】考察星天牛Anoplophora chinensis对不同生理状态青皮垂柳Salix ohsidare挥发物的选择偏好性,深入探究星天牛对虫害青皮垂柳与健康青皮垂柳行为选择差异的原因。【方法】利用动态顶空吸附法,分别收集虫害和健康两种生理状态下的青皮垂柳枝条挥发物,通过气相色谱 质谱联用仪(GC-MS)对收集的挥发物样品进行鉴定与分析,采用触角电位仪(EAG)和Y型嗅觉仪分别分析星天牛对挥发物样品中鉴定的主要化合物的标准化合物的电生理以及行为反应,通过大笼行为实验和林间诱捕试验分析单一挥发性化合物及其双组分和三组分配方对星天牛成虫的诱捕效果。【结果】健康青皮垂柳枝条挥发物中共鉴定出3种主要化合物,包括α-蒎烯、3-蒈烯和樟脑,而虫害青皮垂柳枝条挥发物中鉴定出5种主要化合物包括α-蒎烯、β-蒎烯、3-蒈烯、β-罗勒烯和樟脑。另外虫害青皮垂柳枝条挥发物中的樟脑含量显著高于健康青皮垂柳枝条中的,3-蒈烯在两种挥发物中含量差异不显著,而健康青皮垂柳枝条挥发物中的α-蒎烯含量显著高于虫害青皮垂柳枝条中的。EAG实验表明,星天牛成虫对α-蒎烯、3-蒈烯和β-罗勒烯3种化合物的EAG反应相对值较高,并且随这3个化合物浓度的升高而逐渐增大;星天牛成虫对β-蒎烯和樟脑的EAG反应相对值差异不大,且这2个化合物浓度变化对EAG反应相对值无明显影响。Y型嗅觉仪实验表明,在1 mg/mL浓度下,α-蒎烯、3-蒈烯和β-罗勒烯吸引星天牛雄成虫数量均显著高于对照组（石蜡油）,β-罗勒烯吸引的星天牛雌成虫数量显著高于对照组;在10 mg/mL浓度下,3-蒈烯吸引的星天牛雄成虫数量显著高于对照组。大笼行为实验表明,三组分虫害配方D(α-蒎烯∶3-蒈烯∶β-罗勒烯=42∶30∶103)、α-蒎烯和β-罗勒烯吸引的星天牛成虫数量最多,显著高于双组分健康配方H(α-蒎烯∶3-蒈烯=105∶38)和3-蒈烯吸引的成虫数量。林间诱捕试验表明,α-蒎烯和虫害配方D对星天牛成虫的诱捕效果最好,诱捕的成虫数显著高于β-罗勒烯和健康配方H诱捕的成虫数,而3-蒈烯和空白对照组没有诱捕到星天牛成虫。【结论】虫害和健康青皮垂柳枝条挥发物中共有的α-蒎烯和虫害青皮垂柳枝条挥发物中特有的β-罗勒烯是对星天牛成虫具有引诱作用的两种重要寄主植物挥发性化合物,而3-蒈烯抑制了α-蒎烯对星天牛成虫的引诱作用。我们推测,虫害青皮垂柳挥发物中特有的β 罗勒烯是造成虫害青皮垂柳比健康青皮垂柳更容易受到星天牛危害的原因之一。     

马尾松树针叶挥发性化学物质对松毛虫赤眼蜂嗅觉及寄生行为的影响

应用Y型嗅觉仪测定松毛虫赤眼蜂Trichogramma dendrolimi Matsumura对9种马尾松树针叶挥发性物质对的嗅觉行为反应,确定了4种对于松毛虫赤眼蜂有影响活性的马尾松树针叶挥发性物质。它们分别是α-蒎烯,β-蒎烯,柠檬烯,α-萜品醇乙酸酯4种物质,其中尤以α-蒎烯和β-蒎烯2种物质作用最显著。产卵生测实验中,4种活性挥发性物质的混合物分别与它们的单一成分、α-蒎烯、β-蒎烯分别与除去它们后的混合物进行比较。结果显示,与对照相比,它们均能对松毛虫赤眼蜂的产卵寄生率产生显著影响,该结果也和Y型嗅觉仪下的实验结果基本一致。但在单一物质和混合物对松毛虫赤眼蜂的寄生率影响比较中,混合物并没有使松毛虫赤眼蜂产生最高的寄生率,这说明可能是某种单一物质在其寄生过程中起主导作用。

The Chemical Constituents of the Essential Oil from the Flowers,Leaves and Peels of Citrus aurantium

Citrus aurantium L. var. amara Engl., is a better species of sour oranges. There are essential oils in the flowers, the peels, the leaves and the branches of C. aurantium. The flower oil can be used in the preparation of perfumes of high quality. The peel oil is used mainly for the flavor-endowing of soft drinks, alcoholic drinks, bread, confectionaries and cakes. In order to control the quality of the essential oils and to improve them, we have systema- tically studied the chemical constituents of the flowers, the leaves and the peals of C. aurantium with our preparation. 12 main components were separated by silica gel column chromatography. The following 33 chemical components were identified by IR, GC-MS and GC retention index: α-thujene, α-pinene, camphene, β-pinene, myrcene, limonene, β-ocimene, trans-linalooloxide (furanoid), cis-linalooloxide (furanoid), linalool, 1,4-p-methadien-7-ol, trans-pinocarveol, camphor, terpinen-4-ol α-terpineol, nerol, citral-b, geraniol, linalylacetate, citrala, trans-linalooloxide (pyranoid), methyl anthranilate, terpinyl acetate, cis-linalooloxide (pyranoid), neryl acetate. geranyl acetate, nonanal, β-caryophyllene, α-humulene, γ-muurolene, β-nerolidol, farnesol, α- nerolidol.

Variation in the leaf oil of Eucalyptus punctata

The steam-volatile leaf oil of Eucalyptus punctata. ssp. punctata has been shown to contain α-pinene, β-pinene, 1,8-cineole, p-cymene and cryptone. Several minor components have been tentatively identified by GLC. The wide variation in the leaf oil composition between individual trees indicated no grounds for the establishment of chemical varieties within the subspecies.     

The leaf oil terpene composition of Juniperus occidentalis

The chemical composition of the volatile oil of 10 trees each of two Oregon populations of the western juniper was determined by a computerized GC-MS method. The identity of the major components, sabinene, α-pinene, α- and γ-terpinene, p-cymene, limonene, terpinen-4-ol and bornyl acetate was confirmed. In addition, tricyclene, α-thujene, camphene, β-pinene, α- and β-phellandrene, car-3-ene, trans-ocimene, linalool oxide, terpinolene, trans-sabinene hydrate, camphor, camphene hydrate, borneol, α-terpineol, p-cymenol, methyl citronellate, citronellyl acetate, carvacrol, cuminic aldehyde, β-bourbonene, several cadinene and cadinol isomers, elemol, γ-, β- and α-eudesmol, and manoyl oxide were identified. Santene, citronellol, and aromatic ethers of the safrole-eugenol type were not found. Tree-to-tree variability of the relative percentages of these terpenes was fairly large and chemosystematic implications are discussed briefly.     

Essential oil variation in Calyptranthes spruceana

Two chemical races in Calyptranthes spruceana were examined. One of them contains limonene, geranial and perillaldehyde as the main constituents of its essential oil. The other is shown to contain α-pinene, β-pinene, neral and geranial as its major oil components.     

Volatile compounds from some wild growing aromatic herbs of the Lamiaceae from southern France

Abstract

The composition of the volatile fraction in selected aromatic plants of the Lamiaceae from garrigue sites in southern France is described. Calamintha nepeta appeared heterogeneous. The oil was dominated by piperitone oxide, and piperitenone oxide or by pulegone and menthone. In Nepeta nepetella, nepetalactone, almost exclusively the (4a-α, 7α, 7a-β)-isomer, made up more than 85% of the essential oil. Dichloromethane extracts from Teucrium polium contained germacrene D or sabinene as main components, α-pinene, β-pinene and β-caryophyllene in varying proportions as further important constituents, and various minor components depending on the origin.     

GC-MS analysis of the essential oils of Juniperus communis L. berries growing wild in the Molise region: Seasonal variability and in vitro antifungal activity

Juniperus communis L., also known as the common juniper, is a dioecious aromatic evergreen shrub and has been traditionally used in many countries as a diuretic, antiseptic, and digestive and as a flavor to aromatize certain alcoholic beverages. We analyzed the chemical variability in the volatile profiles from berries of J. communis, harvested in one of the oldest European parks, the National Park of Abruzzo, Lazio, and Molise (PNALM, Central Italy). We examined the berries in different phases of the biological cycle for 1 year (at six ripening stages). Hydrodistilled essential oils from the fresh berries were analyzed by gas chromatography–flame ionization detection (GC-FID), gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and principal component analysis (PCA). A total of 90 components were detected, and remarkable qualitative and quantitative differences were observed in the chemical components during the ripening stages, from the green unripe berries to the bluish-black berries harvested at full maturity. The essential oils were an α-pinene (13.43–32.34%) chemotype. The monoterpene hydrocarbons decreased during the ripening with a progressive increase in sesquiterpenes such as germacrene D (12.29–17.59%) and β-caryophyllene (7.71–8.51%), which are the major components in ripe berry essential oils. The sesquiterpene hydrocarbon fraction (65.3–47.9%) also contained α-humulene, germacrene B, δ-cadinene, bicyclogermacrene, and eudesma 4(14),11 diene. Germacrene D and β-caryophyllene in high concentrations may be considered as marker components of the genus Juniperus from the Molise region. This particular chemical composition has been reported for the first time. It is interesting to note the presence of β-caryophyllene (7–11%), whose inhalation has been reported to affect anxiety and depression in a rat model. An in vitro antifungal assay showed that the essential oil from green and ripe berries inhibits the growth of Sclerotium rolfsii, a phytopathogen fungus that causes post-harvest diseases in many fruits and vegetables.     

Phenological variations of secondary metabolites from Hypericum triquetrifolium Turra

The essential oils and phenolic constituents from the aerial parts of Hypericum triquetrifolium Turra, were analyzed at three developmental stages (vegetative, flowering and fruiting stages). The highest content of oil (0.12% w/w) was obtained at full flowering. Whatever the analyzed stage, n-octane, α-pinene, β-caryophyllene, 2-methyloctane, n-nonane, α-longipinene, caryophyllene oxide and β-pinene were found to be the main compounds. However, their percentages varied with the phenological cycle. Analysis by RP-HPLC-DAD of the methanolic extracts enabled us to identify 14 phenolic components and rutin, hyperoside, quercitrin and quercetin were reported as the main components. With the exception of chlorogenic acid, kaempferol and amentoflavone, the content of the remaining identified phenolic components varied with the phonological cycle.
