The intraspecific variability of Artemisia herba-alba and A. campestris essential oils and the evaluation of their antioxidant and antiacetylcholinesterase activities were determined. Artemisia herba-alba essential oil was found rich in camphor (19.61%), α-thujone (19.40%), β-thujone (9.44%), chrysanthenone (9.26%), and trans-sabinyl acetate (8.43%). The major compounds of A. campestris essential oil were germacrene D (16.38%), β-pinene (16.33%), and limonene (9.17%). Significant variation in the essential oil composition was observed among populations of each species. The divergence between populations was attributed to the variation of some climatic factors such as altitude, annual rainfall, winter cold stress, summer precipitation, summer drought stress, evapotranspiration, and humidity. Artemisia herba-alba and A. campestris essential oils exhibited promising antioxidant and antiacetylcholinesterase activities. The level of activity varied significantly according to the species and the essential oil. The highest scavenging activity (IC = 0.14 mg/ml) and the uppermost capacity to prevent β-carotene bleaching (IC = 0.10 mg/ml) characterized A. campestris from population 6. A. campestris population 3 possessed the uppermost ability to reduce ferric ions (450.7 μmol Fe /g EO). The population 2 of A. campestris showed the strongest antiacetylcholinesterase activity (IC = 0.02 mg/ml). The variation of these activities between the essential oils was explained by their composition differences.

“…Many works showed the richness in terpenoids of A. herba-alba, like monoterpene hydrocarbons (Behtari, 2012), oxygenated monoterpenes (Hudaib and Aburjai, 2006) and sesquiterpenes (Laid, 2008;Paolini, 2010 (Soliman, 2007). Miresmailli et al (2006) and Verma (2012) pointed out the presence of monoterpenes in rosemary whereas Zhang et al (2014) reported its richness in diterpenoid and triterpenoid glycosides.…”

To reduce the use of synthetic pesticides and their negative effects on the environment, leaves extracts of Artemisia herbaalba Asso, Eucalyptus camaldulensis Dehnh and Rosmarinus officinalis L. were obtained with petroleum ether, ethanol and distilled water as solvents. These extracts were evaluated under laboratory conditions for their insecticidal effect against 3 to 4 days-old Myzus persicae individuals (Homoptera: Aphididae) at 1, 2.5, 5, and 10 %. We made observations after 24 hours. Etheric extract of all plants was effective and caused mortalities (100 %, 53 % and 60 % respectively) at the highest concentration. However, ethanolic and aqueous extracts did not show any significant insecticidal effect. The phytochemical screening showed the richness of etheric extract in terpenes. The results obtained suggest that we can make bioinsecticides based on leaves etheric extracts from these plants for use in integrated pest management.

“…Curcumen-15-al has been reported for the first time in Artemisia herba-alba oil and the correspondent oil should be considered as a new chemotype. α-Thujone has been reported as the major constituent of the Artemisia herba-alba essential oil originating from Tunisian semi-arid and south region (Akrout, 2004;Kadri et al, 2011), Jordan (Hudaib and Aburjai, 2006), Algeria (Belhatta et al, 2014), Morocco (Paolini et al, 2010) and Israel (Fleisher et al, 2002). This monoterpenic cetone confers to this plant its characteristic smell of Mentha and its bitter taste.…”

This study was conceived to investigate the composition of four essential oils (EOs) extracted by hydrodistillation from four parts (leaves, stems, leaves/stems, roots) of Artemisia herba-alba growing wild in the Center of Tunisia. For this, Artemisia herba-alba aerial and roots parts were shade dried with ventilation at room temperature. Then, plant different parts were cut into small pieces and subjected to hydrodistillation using a Clevenger-type apparatus. The gas chromatography (GC) analyses were accomplished with a HP-5890 Series II instrument. The main results showed a total of 152 compounds detected and identified by GC and GC -MS and accounting for 91.3-99.7% of the whole oil. The four oils were characterized by the predominance of monoterpene derivatives (68.2-99.5%) and the major volatile constituent was α-thujone (18.2-45.5%). Qualitative and quantitative differences between the four essential oils have been noted for some compounds. The main compounds of leaves essential oil were α-Thujone (45.5%), β-Thujone (11.4%), trans-sabinyl acetate (10.1%), 1,8-Cineole (7.4%) and camphor (6.8%). α-Thujone (27.5%) was also the main compound in the essential oil of leaves/stems, followed by camphor (22.9%), 1,8-cineole (8.3%), β-thujone (8.2%) and camphene (5.6%). The essential oil of stems was dominated by α-Thujone (28%) followed by β-Thujone (11.4%) and chrysantenone (11%). In the essential oil of roots, α-thujone was less represented (18.2%), followed by camphor (14.6%) and curcumen-15-al (14.3%). It is important to mention that curcumen-15-al has been reported for the first time in Artemisia herba-alba oil Our results revealed avariability in the chemical composition and the yield of the EOs from Artemisia herba-alba. Moreover, curcumen-15-al is a new chemotype first found in Artemisia herba-alba from Tunisia.
