Composition and Antimicrobial Activity of Essential Oil and HexaneÐEther Extract of Tanacetum santolinoides (DC.) Feinbr. and Fertig

Abstract

The essential oil of the aerial parts of Tanacetum santolinoides was analyzed by capillary GLC and GLC-MS. Altogether 30 components were identified. The main constituents were thymol (18%), trans-thujone (17.5%), trans-chrysanthenyl acetate (13.2%), cis-chrysanthenyl acetate (9.2%), umbellulone (9.7%) and 1,8-cineole (4.7%). Similar essential oil pattern in addition to palmitic acid methyl ester, palmitic acid, stigmasterol, sitosterol and two flavonoidal aglycons were found in the n-hexane-ether extract. The oil showed strong in vitro activity against E. coli, Bacillus subtilis and Candida albicans.

Essential Oil Composition of Tanacetum alyssifolium, an Endemic Species from Turkey

“…As can be seen from Table 1, the essential oil is composed mainly of monoterpene hydrocarbons (87.9%), followed by oxygenated monoterpenes (4.1%) and oxygenated sesquiterpenes (7.8%). Compared to other Tanacetum species [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9]11], in this study we found considerable qualitative and quantitative differences in the essential oil composition of Tanacetum sample collected from Ilic. This may be due to genotypic variation and climatic and environmental factors [7].…”

“…In the past, many studies have reported on the essential oil compositions of various Tanacetum species. In the previous studies [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12], camphor, 1.8-cineole, α-thujone, carvone, thymol, trans-sabinyl acetate, borneol, caryophyllone oxide, (E)-myroxide, sabinene, bornylacetate, and isopulegone were determined as the major constitutents of the essential oils of Tanacetum species. The findings show that the genus Tanacetum had a considerable variation in essential oil composition.…”

“…According to recent studies, essential oils and extracts of Tanacetum genus exhibit anti-inflammatory (Brown et al, 1997;Ghantous et al, 2013;Mordujovich-Buschiazzo et al, 1996;Park et al, 2011;Sur et al, 2009), anticancer (Ghantous et al, 2013), antibacterial (Habibi et al, 2009;Hethelyi et al, 1991;Holopainen and Kauppinen, 1989;Mohsenzadeh et al, 2011), antiviral (Onozato et al, 2009), antifungal (Hethelyi et al, 1991), antihelmintic (Godinho et al, 2014), insecticidal (Hough-Golstein and Hahn, 1992;Nottingham et al, 1991;Panasiuk, 1984;Schearer, 1984;Suomi et al, 1986) and antiprotozoal effects (Izumi et al, 2008;Tiuman et al, 2005). Many studies have been reported on the essential oil composition of various Tanacetum species (El-Shazly et al, 2002;Goren et al, 2001;Greche et al, 2000;Judzentiene and Mockute, 2005;Kandemir et al, 2008;MajedJabari et al, 2002;Marongiu et al, 2009;Mockute and Judzentiene, 2004;Monfared et al, 2002;Piras et al, 2014;Polatoglu et al, 2011;Rohloff et al, 2004;Weyerstahl et al, 1999) and camphor, 1,8-cineole, ␣-thujone, carvone, thymol, trans-sabinyl acetate, borneol, caryophyllene oxide, (E)-myroxide, sabinene, bornyl acetate, isopulegone and artemisia ketone were identified as the major constituents. This genus is also found to contain sesquiterpene lactones (Aljancic et al, 2001;…”
