Abstract

Four new eudesmanolides and two new guaianolides were isolated from the aerial parts of Anthemis carpatica Willd. and their structures elucidated by spectral methods. In addition, seven known sesquiterpene lactones were identified.

Linear sesquiterpene lactones from Anthemis auriculata and their antibacterial activity.

Three linear sesquiterpene lactones, anthecotulide (1), hydroxyanthecotulide (2), and acetoxyanthecotulide (3), were isolated from the aerial parts of Anthemis auriculata. Five known flavonoids, taraxa-20(30)en-3beta-ol (4), and methyl vanillate (5) were also isolated. The structures and the relative configuration of the new compounds 2 and 3 were deduced by spectroscopic methods. The in vitro activity of compounds 1-5 against 10 bacterial species and one fungus was tested using the microdilution method.

The essential oil constituents and antimicrobial activity of Anthemis aciphylla BOISS. var. discoidea BOISS.

The essential oil of aerial parts, leaves and flowers of the endemic Anthemis aciphylla BOISS. var. discoidea BOISS. (Asteraceae) were obtained by hydrodistillation. The oils were analyzed both by GC and GC-MS on a polar column. The monoterpenes alpha-pinene (9-49%) and terpinen-4-ol (22-32%) were characterized as the main constituents. An unknown component isolated from the essential oil was characterized by means of MS, HR-MS, FT-IR, 1D- and 2D-NMR techniques as isofaurinone (1). Furthermore, the biological activity of the essential oils was evaluated in various human pathogenic microorganisms using the broth microdilution method. Weak to moderate inhibitions (0.06-1.0 mg/ml) was observed.

Analysis of the essential oil composition of eight Anthemis species from Greece.

The volatile composition of eight Anthemis species has been studied. The essential oils were obtained by hydrodistillation in a modified Clevenger-type apparatus, and their analyses were performed by GC and GC-MS. Identification of the substances was made by comparison of mass spectra and retention indices with literature records. A total of 284 different compounds were identified and significant qualitative and quantitative differences and similarities were observed among the samples. The main constituents of the investigated populations of each taxon have been revealed as follows: A. altissima: (-)-linalool, trans-caryophyllene, cis-chrysanthenyl acetate; A. auriculata: spathulenol, trans-caryophyllene, beta-eudesmol; A. chia: cis-chrysanthenyl acetate, trans-caryophyllene, germacrene-d; A. cotula: germacrene-d, spathulenol A. tinctoria: spathulenol, (-)-caryophyllene oxide, T-cadinol; A. melanolepis: p-cymene, chrysanthenone, trans-verbenol, (-)-caryophyllene oxide; A. tomentosa: (-)-linalool, 1,8-cineole; A. werneri subsp. werneri: nopol, terpineol-4, trans-caryophyllene. Sesquiterpene hydrocarbons were shown to be the main group of constituents of all taxa.
