“…On the contrary, Tigrine-Kordjani et al (2012), who analysed the chemical composition of 32 R. officinalis samples collected at the same time from different sites in the north of Algeria, highlighted a strong correlation between the chemical composition and the place of collection. Elamrani et al (2000) studied the R. officinalis essential oils from Morocco finding three different chemotypes: a-pinene-chemotype, camphor-chemotype and the 1,8-cineole-chemotype. Eight-seventy populations of rosemary collected in Spain were investigated (Varela et al 2009).…”

The chemical composition of eight Tunisian Rosmarinus officinalis L. populations (A-H) from different bioclimatic areas has been examined by gas chromatography (GC) and GC-mass spectrometry. The essential oils are characterised by high amounts of oxygenated monoterpenes (58.2-71.7%) followed by monoterpene hydrocabons (15.1-26.7%). 1,8-Cineole, camphor, α-pinene and borneol are the main representative components. The antioxidant activity was investigated by 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl radical (DPPH), ferric reducing ability power assay and β-carotene bleaching test. Samples showed antiradical activity by inhibiting DPPH radical with IC50 values ranging from 375.3 to 592.8 μg mL(- 1) for samples F and A, respectively. Sample A also showed the most promising activity in β-carotene bleaching test (IC50 of 31.9 μg mL(- 1)). The essential oils were also screened for acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) inhibitory activity. Sample G showed the highest activity against AChE (IC50 of 64.7 μg mL(- 1)) while sample D (IC50 of 29.5 μg mL(- 1)) exhibited the most potent activity against BChE.

“…Chemotype 3, dominated by myrcene [89], has four samples in this analysis. Chemotype 4 is dominated by 1,8-cineole [36,38,93,94,95] and is comprised of 33 samples, and can be considered comparable to the cineoliferum chemotype described by Napoli and co-workers [39]. The fifth chemotype, represented by only one sample from Mexico [35], has nearly equal quantities of α-pinene, β-pinene, and camphene; the relatively high β-pinene concentration (12%) separates this sample from chemotype 1.…”

Rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis L.) is a popular herb in cooking, traditional healing, and aromatherapy. The essential oils of R. officinalis were obtained from plants growing in Victoria (Australia), Alabama (USA), Western Cape (South Africa), Kenya, Nepal, and Yemen. Chemical compositions of the rosemary oils were analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry as well as chiral gas chromatography. The oils were dominated by (+)-α-pinene (13.5%–37.7%), 1,8-cineole (16.1%–29.3%), (+)-verbenone (0.8%–16.9%), (−)-borneol (2.1%–6.9%), (−)-camphor (0.7%–7.0%), and racemic limonene (1.6%–4.4%). Hierarchical cluster analysis, based on the compositions of these essential oils in addition to 72 compositions reported in the literature, revealed at least five different chemotypes of rosemary oil. Antifungal, cytotoxicity, xanthine oxidase inhibitory, and tyrosinase inhibitory activity screenings were carried out, but showed only marginal activities.

“…En effet, l'huile de Rosmarinus officinalis de l'Algérie présente sensiblement les mêmes composés majoritaires que celle T. algeriensis, α-pinène (19,70%), camphre (12,56%), 1,8-cinéole (7,93%) et limonène (5,12%) (Giordani et al, 2008). De même, les romarins du Maroc, selon leurs provenances, montrent une teneur importante en l'un des trois composés : α-pinène (37,0-40,0%, Rabat), 1,8-cinéole (58,7-63,7%, El Ateuf) ou camphre (41,7-53,8%, Taforhalt) (El Amrani et al, 2000).…”

Résumé.-Ce travail porte sur l'étude de l'activité antifongique des huiles essentielles de deux plantes aromatiques et médicinales de la flore marocaine vis-à-vis de quatre champignons lignivores. Les huiles essentielles obtenues par hydrodistillation des parties aériennes de Thymus algeriensis Boiss. & Reut. et Thymus ciliatus (Desf.) Benth. ont été analysées par CG and CG-SM. Les résul-tats montrent que le camphre (27,7%) et l'α-pinène (20,5%) sont les constituants majeurs de l'huile essentielle de T. algeriensis et que celle de T. ciliatus contient principalement le thymol (44,2%), le β-ocimène (25,8%) et l'α-terpinè-ne (12,3%). Les tests de bioactivité vis-à-vis de quatre champignons de pouriture du bois (Gloeophyllum trabeum, Poria placenta, Coniophora puteana et Coriolus versicolor) ont montré que l'essence de T. ciliatus présente une forte activité. Mots clés : Thymus algeriensis -Thymus ciliatus -huiles essentielles -activité antifongique -champignons de pourriture du bois.Abstract.-This work deals with the antifungal activity of two medicinal and aromatic plants essential oils of the Moroccan flora against four wood-decaying fungi. The essential oils obtained from Thymus algeriensis Boiss. & Reut. and Thymus ciliatus (Desf.) Benth. aerial parts by hydrodistillation were analyzed by GC and GC-MS. The result demonstrated that the major components of T. algeriensis essential oil are campher (27.7%) and α-pinene (20.5%), while were the essential oil of T. ciliatus contains mainly thymol (44.2%), β-ocymene (25.8%) and α-terpinene (12.3%). Bioactivity tests against for fungi decaying wood (Gloeophyllum trabeum, Poria placenta, Coniophora puteana and Coriolus versicolor) demonstrate that the oil of T. ciliatus showed a strong antifungal activity against all fungi tested.
