“…Although the essential oil composition of A. filipendulina, A. tenuifolia and A. magnifica have been recently reported in the literature and the antibacterial activity of A. filipendulina has been studied [5][6][7][8][9][10], the antimalarial activity of A. tenuifolia and antimicrobial activity of A. tenuifolia and A. magnifica were investigated for the first time.…”

Essential oils obtained by hydrodistillation were analyzed both by gas chromatography (GC) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The main constituents found in Achillea oil were as follows: A. filipendulina Lam.: 43.8% santolina alcohol, 14.5% 1,8-cineole and 12.5% cis-chrysanthenyl acetate; A. magnifica Hiemerl ex Hub.-Mor.: 27.5% linalool, 5.8% spathulenol, 5.5% terpinen-4-ol, 4.7% α-terpineol and 4.7% β-eudesmol; A. tenuifolia Lam.: 12.4% artemisia ketone, 9.9% p-cymene, 7.1% camphor, 5.9% terpinen-4-ol, 4.7% caryophyllene oxide and 4.5% α-pinene. Furthermore, the Achillea essential oils were evaluated for antimalarial and antimicrobial activities. A. magnifica and A. filipendulina oils showed strong antimalarial activity against both chloroquine sensitive D6 (IC50= 1.2 and 0.68 g/mL) and chloroquine resistant W2 (IC50= 1.1 and 0.9 g/mL) strains of Plasmodium falciparum without any cytotoxicity to mammalian cells up to IC50=47.6 g/mL against Vero cells. whereas A. tenuifolia oil showed no antimalarial activity up to a concentration of 20 mg/mL. All three Achillea oils showed no antibacterial activity against human pathogenic bacteria up to a concentration of 200 g/mL. A. tenuifolia and A. magnifica oils demonstrated mild antifungal activity against Cryptococcus neoformans (IC50= 45, 20 and 15 g/mL, respectively).

“…also the essential oil of the A. filipendulina collected from Turkey, and found that 1,8‐cineole (22.9 %), 2,7‐dimethylocta‐3,6‐dien‐2‐ol (also that is maybe santolina alcohol (21.9 %), borneol (8.1 %), isoterpineolene (6.1 %), cis ‐ p ‐menth‐2,8‐dienol (7.9 %), bornyl acetate (5.0 %), p ‐cymene (2.6 %), and α ‐terpinene (2.4 %) were as main constituents . In another study, the chemical composition of eight Achillea species collected from Salafchegan (Markazi province, Iran) were studied, and santolina alcohol (27.1 %), bornyl acetate (15.86 %), germacrene‐D (19.82 %), borneol (7.8 %), and 1,8‐cineol (2.68 %) were the major components .

“…There are also some components such as cis ‐chrysanthenyl acetate that is only present in the stem of this plant. Moreover, there are almost no major components present in all three segments of the plant . Several studies have shown that santolina alcohol, carvacrol, 1,8‐cineole, and borneol exhibited antimicrobial activates against bacteria, with two latter also demonstrating synergistic effects .…”

“…Decoctions of this plant have been used to treat various conditions including arthritis, cardiovascular diseases, congestions, gastrointestinal disorders, gout, malaria, and as a diuretic, anthelmintic, and purgative agent . There are few reports in the literature to study the composition and the biological properties of the essential oil obtained from this species of Achillea . However, whether the essential oil of different parts of the plant (that is, stem, leaf, and flower) have varying chemical compositions, and their corresponding antimicrobial properties have not been studied.…”

In this study, we extracted the essential oils of the stem, leaf, and flower of Achillea filipendulina, analyzed them, and studied their antibacterial properties. Of 16, 53, and 35 compounds identified in the stem, leaf, and flowers, respectively, only five are present in all three segments of the plant. The essential oil of the stem was mainly composed of neryl acetate, spathulenol, carvacrol, santolina alcohol, and trans-caryophyllene oxide. However, the main identified components of leaf were 1,8-cineole, camphor, ascaridole, trans-isoascaridole, and piperitone oxide and the main components of the flower oil were ascaridole, trans-isoascaridole, 1,8-cineole, pcymene, and camphor. The extracted oil from different segments demonstrated varying antibacterial properties against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, demonstrated by disk, minimum inhibitory concentration, and minimum bactericidal concentration methods. These suggest that the application of all segments of aerial parts of A. filipendulina may have a better therapeutic effect in fighting pathogenic systems.

“…Besides, A. tenuifolia is frequently used to make a special soup (called ‘Injibir Soup’ by the local people) to treat gastrointestinal disorders, kill worms in the intestines and prevent bleeding. This has driven the scientific community to comprehensively study the essential oil of A. tenuifolia and its biological properties . Numerous groups have extracted the essential oil of this plant collected from different regions of Iran and World and analyzed their chemical compositions.…”

Achillea species and in particular Achillea tenuifolia Lam. is generally used as a food flavor and traditional remedies, especially in the initial developmental stage for medical conditions in the Mediterranean part of Iran. In this report, we extracted the essential oil from the aerial parts of A. tenuifolia (collected from Khoy), at various developmental stages (i. e., vegetative, flowering and fruiting), characterized them and studied their antibacterial activities. Of 46, 51 and 38 components found in the vegetative, flowering, and fruiting stages, respectively, 35 were present in all three stages, including oxygenated terpenes such as carvacrol (30.85–34.11), germacrene C (16.21–17.87), spathulenol (7.26–8.96), β‐sesquiphellandrene (4.11–4.25), τ‐muurolol (2.27–3.25) and α‐cadinol (2.01–3.29). We witnessed that the composition of the essential oils varies with phenological stages and geographic regions. The essential oil demonstrated substantial antibacterial properties against both Gram‐positive and Gram‐negative bacteria, indicated by disk method, Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) and Minimum Bactericidal Concentration (MBC) assays. Except Pseudomonas aeruginosa, the essential oils of various phenological stages showed higher antibacterial activity against tested bacteria, with Bacillus anthracis as the most sensitive strain. Moreover, although antibacterial characteristics of the essential oil from the vegetative and flowering stages were similar (p=0.91), they were significantly different from those of fruiting stage (p<0.005 in both MIC and MBC tests). This emphasizes the importance of the developmental stage of the plant in the biological properties of its essential oil and justifies the widespread application of this plant in the vegetative stage.
