“…Identifying biologically active compounds present in different organs of the yew may help understand its toxicity, medicinal potential (Shirmohammadli et al, 2020), and possible uses in the food and cosmetic industry (Turek and Stintzing, 2013). Volatile oils, by-products of plant metabolism, can be synthesized by all plant organs (flowers, buds, leaves, stems, bark, shoots, seeds, fruits, roots, and wood) and are stored in glandular trichomes, secretory ducts, secretory cells, cavities and epidermal cells (Bakkali et al, 2008).…”

Taxus L. is accepted in the literature as natural resources of biologically active compounds and volatile oils, with applications in medicine, pharmaceuticals, food, cosmetics, and with ecological impact on the natural living environment. In this context, the present work aims to analyze by GS/MS techniques the chemical composition of volatile oil obtained by hydrodistillation of leaves harvested from spontaneous and cultivated female individuals of Taxus (dried and fresh plant material) and to spectrophotometrically evaluate the hydrosols resulting from their hydrodistillation. The compounds with the highest concentrations in the volatile oil obtained from the spontaneous taxon Taxus baccata L. were hexahydrofarnesyl acetone (33.03% fresh leaves; 20.09% dried leaves); ar-abietatriene (14.98% dried leaves; 3.03% fresh leaves); phthalic acid, hex-3-yl isobutyl ester (10.51% dried leaves); salicylic acid, benzyl ester (8.11% dried leaves). In the cultivated taxon Taxus baccata the compounds identified with the highest concentrations were 1-octen-3-ol (25.61% fresh leaves); phytol (12.50% dry leaves); geranyl acetone (11.90% dry leaves); manoyl oxide (11.85% dry leaves; 10.86% fresh leaves); 1,9-decadence (7.92% fresh leaves). The compounds with the highest concentrations in the oil extracted from the leaves of Taxus baccata ‘Robusta’ were hexahydrofarnesyl acetone (17.81% fresh leaves); pentacosane (11.28% dry leaves); heptacosane (11.27% fresh leaves); tetracosane (11.13% dry leaves); tricosane (8.45% fresh leaves). The chemical composition of volatile oils from yew is influenced by many exogenous factors such as soil, light, and endogenous factors such as age, DNA.

“…Generally, the dominant chemical class of compounds of the essential oils (EOs) obtained by different methods from the species in the genus Taxus is alcohols ( Table 2 and Figure 4 ) [ 1 – 5 , 72 ]. Alkanes, alkenes, aldehydes, ketones, flavonoids, fatty alcohols, aromatic compounds, fatty acids, fatty acid esters, ethers, phthalates, phenols, pyridines, steroids, alkaloids, monoterpenes, sesquiterpenes, diterpenes, tetraterpenes, and their derived compounds were also identified and reported from the EOs profiles of these plants from different areas/countries [ 5 – 7 , 10 , 11 , 72 – 78 ].…”

“…However, the concentrations of the FAs and the overall fatty acids profiles of these oils showed variations. Oleic acid was identified as the most abundant component (20.87%) of the oil extracted from T. baccata leaves of Iran [ 11 ]. The oils isolated from the fresh and dried needles of the same plant of Turkey were dominated mostly (19.6%–22.5%) by palmitic acid [ 10 ].…”

The genus Taxus (yews) is the largest genus of the family Taxaceae. It comprises about 24 species with 55 varieties distributed mainly in Asia, Europe, North Africa, and North America. In addition to the taxane diterpenoids and the cancer drug taxol, its species contain many essential oils with actual or potential biological activity. This review covers the chemical constituents as well as biological activities of these oils that have been studied in fourteen countries over 46 years (1975–2021). It also discusses the biotic and abiotic factors that limit the regeneration of these economically and medicinally important plants.

The paper presents the results of an investigation of the antiradical activity, total phenolic and flavonoid contents in aboveground and underground organs and tissues of Taxus spp. plants (T. baccata L. cv. Semperaurea, T. cuspidata Sieb. et Zucc. and T. wallichiana Zucc.) introduced in the Republic of Belarus. The analysis indicates the dependence of antiradical activity value and the level of phenolic compounds on the organ- and tissue-specific localisation. Root periderm (secondary dermal tissue) extracts of all Taxus spp. species studied showed the best antiradical activity with the highest total phenolic and flavonoid contents. Thus, the extracts from the root periderm of T. wallichiana Zucc., T. cuspidata Sieb. et Zucc. and T. baccata L. cv. Semperaurea had antiradical activity of (28.7 ± 1.0), (26.1 ± 0.8) and (22.4 ± 0.7) mg ascorbic acid equivalent per 1 g dry weight, respectively, which was 78–81 % higher than the antioxidant activity of the trunk-bark extracts and 42– 64 % higher than the activity of the needle extracts. The total phenolic content of the root periderm extracts of all investigated plants varied from (129.9 ± 2.9) to (154.2 ± 4.3) mg gallic acid equivalent per 1 g dry weight, and was found to be highest in the T. wallichiana Zucc. extract. The greatest flavonoid content was observed with extracts of the root periderm of T. cuspidata Sieb. et Zucc. ((13.0 ± 0.4) mg quercetin equivalent per 1 g dry weight).
