“…Considering the results of GC/MS analysis performed for the studied species, piperitone (19.79 %), camphor (77.19 %), α ‐terpinene (22.28 %), eucalyptol (28.28 %), artemisia ketone (31.90 %), eucalyptol (22.89 %), endo ‐borneol (30.07 %), β ‐eudesmol (22.46 %), camphor (38.96 %), eucalyptol (37.44 %), camphor (16.55 %), verbenol (27.98 %), endo ‐borneol (73.05 %), camphor (18.87(%), β ‐eudesmol (29.17 %) and β ‐eudesmol (39.59 %) were found to be major components. The results of the study are in line with the literature . It can be said that the essential oil contents of Achillea species are affected by factors such as collection period, soil structure and climatic conditions.…”

“…In addition, in the study of Azizi et al., p ‐cymene and eucalyptol contents of this species have been found to change seasonally. Moreover, p ‐cymene (18.6 %), 1,8‐cineole (16.5 %) and camphor (11.7 %) were identified as major constituents in a study conducted on samples of the same species collected from close locality and at different years.…”

Representatives of the Achillea genus are widely used as foods or nutraceuticals. Considering the increasing demand for herbal dietary supplements with health promoting effects, the objective of this research was to evaluate the chemical composition and biological activities of the essential oils obtained from sixteen Achillea species (A. biebersteinii, A. wilhelmsii subsp. wilhelmsii, A. aleppica subsp. zederbaueri, A. vermicularis, A. monocephala, A. nobilis, A. goniocephala, A. sintenisii, A. coarctata, A. kotschyi subsp. kotschyi, A. millefolium subsp. millefolium, A. lycaonica, A. spinulifolia, A. teretifolia, A. setacea, and A. schischkinii). Anticholinesterase, antiurease, antityrosinase enzymes inhibition, antioxidant, antimicrobial, toxic and cytotoxic activities of obtained essential oils were investigated. DPPH activities were found to be very low in all studied samples, while ABTS and CUPRAC antioxidant activities were found to be moderate. In addition, all samples were found to have moderate anticholinesterase and antimicrobial effects. It has been determined that the studied species have low cytotoxicity and high toxicity. Besides, chemical composition of the essential oils were determined by GC/MS and the results were chemometrically analyzed. The chemometric analyses of Achillea species collected from nine different regions were accomplished by principal component analysis (PCA) and hierarchical cluster analysis (HCA) techniques. According to the PCA analysis, A. nobilis subsp. neilreichii was found to be different from all studied species in terms of essential oil composition. The major components found in these species were piperitone, camphor, α‐terpinene, eucalyptol, artemisia ketone, endo‐borneol, β‐eudesmol and verbenol. The fact that camphor was toxic and found in majority of the studied species stands out as a remarkable result.

Gas chromatography with mass selective detection is described as method for investigation and standardization of herbal raw materials and herbal drugs. Marker compounds and chromatographic conditions are described for some herbs.Gas chromatography has come into the practice of separation, qualitative and quantitative analysis of drug raw materials, determination of active substances in manufactured drugs, and stability studies on drugs for establishing their expiry dates. Pharmaceutical analysis makes use of the gas−liquid, gas−adsorption, gas− adsorption−adsorption variants of gas chromatography.

“…The chemical compositions of A. biebersteinii essential oils reported from different geographic regions [15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26] are summarized in Table 3. Monoterpenes, with quantitative and qualitative differences, represented the largest group in these previous reports [15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26], an exception being one sample from Iran, which was found to be rich in the sesquiterpene, spathulenol. Rahimmalek et al [21] reported a high level of spathulenol and a high essential oil yield, which might be due to a soil characterized by an accumulation of CaCO 3 .…”

The composition of the essential oils hydrodistilled from the aerial parts of five Achillea biebersteinii Afan samples, collected in central Turkey from Konya, Isparta and Ankara, were analyzed both by gas chromatography (GC-FID) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Eighty-four components were identified, representing 87 to 99% of the total oil composition. The identified major components were 1,8-cineole (9-37%), camphor (16-30%) and p-cymene (1-27%). Two samples differed in piperitone (11%) and ascaridol (4%) content. The five A. biebersteinii essential oils were subsequently evaluated for their antifungal activity against the strawberry anthracnose-causing fungal plant pathogens Colletotrichum acutatum, C. fragariae and C. gloeosporioides using the direct overlay bioautography assay. The essential oils showed no antifungal activity at 80 and 160 µg/spot. In addition, A. biebersteinii oils and their major compounds were subsequently investigated against Aedes aegypti first instar larvae in a high throughput bioassay. Among the oils, only one sample from Ankara showed a notable larvacidal effect on Ae. aegypti larvae. The major compounds, 1,8-cineole, camphor and p-cymene, exhibited low mosquito larval activity, and thus the minor compounds are probably responsible for the observed activity against Ae. aegypti larvae. The oils showed weak activity against adult Ae. aegypti.
