“…Essential oils are seldom encountered in Rubiaceae. The few aromatic species belonging to this family generally contain volatile constituents in low yields, as exemplified by Morinda morindoides fresh leaves (0.2%) [10], Galium odoratum dried aerial parts (0.05%) [11], Rubia tinctorum dried aerial parts (0.1%) [12], Mitracarpus scraber fresh aerial parts (0.04%) [13], Randia mutadae flowers (0.02%) [14], or Gardenia jasminoides flowers (0.07%) [15]. Hydrodistillation of the fresh aerial parts of A. emirnense and A. perrieri in a Clevenger-type apparatus provided dark yellow essential oils with strong and pleasant smells in 0.035 and 0.022% (w/w) yield, respectively.…”

The essential oils of Anthospermum emirnense Baker and Anthospermum perrieri Homolle ex Puff, obtained by hydrodistillation in 0.03 and 0.02% yield, respectively, were analyzed by GC/MS. In both cases, the major constituents consisted of sesquiterpene hydrocarbons and oxygenated sesquiterpenes. The two species showed an important qualitative similarity, with 40 compounds common to A. emirnense and A. perrieri, including β-elemene, trans-β-caryophyllene, caryophyllene oxide, and τ-cadinol, which were major components in both cases. When tested for antimicrobial activity, both essential oils showed similar profiles and exhibited interesting minimal-inhibitory-concentration (MIC) values towards Bacillus subtilis, Chryseobacterium indologenes, Flavimonas oryzihabitans, and Yersinia enterocolitica.

“…The average yield of essential oil was 0.10 mL/kg. In previous studies of the Rubiaceae family plants, the yields of the essential oils of R. tinctorum , C. glabra , and P. leiocarpa were 0.10 mL/kg, 0.08 mL/kg, 0.10 mL/kg, respectively [ 38 , 39 , 40 ]. Moreover, the latest study found that five species of Rubiaceae plants yielded 0.24 mL/kg, 0.32 mL/kg, 0.08 mL/kg, 0.05 mL/kg, and 0.30 mL/kg, respectively [ 41 ].…”

Spermacoce alata Aubl. is widely available in the market as traditional Chinese medicine and animal feed, due to its properties of clearing heat and treating malaria and its high-protein and crude fiber content. In this study, the essential oil of S. alata was obtained through hydrodistillation. GC–MS and GC–FID methods were used to identify the chemical components and their relative abundance. Furthermore, the antioxidant capacity was measured using DPPH, ABTS, and FRAP assays, and the inhibitory effects of acetylcholinesterase, α-glucosidase, and β-lactamase were also evaluated. A total of 67 compounds were identified, with the major constituents being palmitic acid (30.74%), linoleic acid (16.13%), and phenylheptatriyne (8.07%). The essential oil exhibited moderate antioxidant activity against DPPH (IC50 > 10 mg/mL), while the IC50 value for the ABTS assay was 3.84 ± 2.12 mg/mL and the FRAP assay value was 87.22 ± 12.22 µM/g. Additionally, the essential oil showed moderate anti-acetylcholinesterase activity (IC50 = 286.0 ± 79.04 μg/mL), significant anti-α-glucosidase activity (IC50 = 174.7 ± 13.12 μg/mL), and potent anti-β-lactamase activity (IC50 = 37.56 ± 3.48 μg/mL). The results suggest that S. alata has the potential for application in pharmacology, warranting further exploration and investigation.

“…The herb contains many polyphenol derivatives such as flavonoids and anthraquinones [1–3]. Several years ago its medicinal usefulness was discovered and the root of madder is used for the kidney and bladder stone treatment [1, 3, 4]. The observed activity is due to the presence of polyphenols and polyphenol glycosides which dissolve calcium oxalate, the foremost compound in kidney stones [5].…”

The effective dissolution of calcium oxalate, the main component of kidney stones, is important in the treatment of nephrolithisis. Polyphenol glycosides constitute compounds supporting dissolution and inhibition of formation of stones. These moieties possess oxygen atoms which can interact with calcium cations. Density functional theory studies of interactions of polyphenol glycosides and Ca2+ were performed to determine preferred structures and the role of polyphenol and carbohydrate parts in the formation of complexes. The determination of these properties may be useful in designing new complexes, effectively interacting with calcium compounds. In the present study we try to define factors influencing interaction energies and stabilization. The determined structures were divided according to coordination numbers. Obtained data indicate that for stronger interactions complexes maximize the number of O-Ca2+ contacts.
