Composition of the essential oil ofPrangos heyniae H. Duman et M. F. Watson, a new endemic from Turkey

Chemical Composition and Antimicrobial Activity of Essential Oils Isolated from Aerial Parts of Prangos asperula Boiss. (Apiaceae) Growing Wild in Lebanon

“…On the contrary, α-pinene representing the main constituent of P. ferulacea; P. pabularia and P. uloptera (63.1%, 21.46%, 14.98%, respectively) was absent in our plant [8,19,33]. In addition, neither of the following reported major constituents was noted in our results: chrysanthenyl acetate (26.53%), limonene (19.59%), α-pinene (19.50%) in P. ferulacea [7]; β-elemene (19.9%), β-farnesene (16.2%) in P. scabra [19], α-humulene (16.6%); bicyclogermacrene (16.1%); spathulenol (10.6%) in P. pabularia [17], germacrene-D-4-ol (42.8%); α-cadinol (18.5%) in P. bornmuelleri [36], γ-terpinene (30.22% and 33.27%), α-pinene (16.71% and 12.83%) in crushed and whole fruits yielded oils of P. ferulacea, respectively [37], β-bisabolenal (53.3%) and β-bisabolenol (14.6%) in P. heynlae [15], and p-cymene (10.9%) in P. uechtritzii [16].…”

Essential Oil Composition of Wild Growing Apiaceae from Europe and the Mediterranean

“…Various Prangos species occur in Turkey. The fruit oils from P. denticulata [81] and P. uechtrizii [83,84] contained mainly monoterpenes, whereas those from P. heyniae were made up of sesquiterpenes [82]. From P. uechtrizii a fruit oil displayed a high proportion of 7-epi-1,2-dehydrosesquicineole [84].…”

Antiviral and cytotoxic evaluation of coumarins fromPrangos ferulacea

“…They have been used in Asian medicine as emollient, carminative (Zargari, 1992), tonic, antiflatulent, anthelmintic, antifungal, and antibacterial agents (Bouaoun et al, 2007;Ulubelen et al, 1995). Phytochemical investigations on different species of Prangos have led to the isolation of coumarins (Eshbakova et al, 2006;Razavi et al, 2008;Tada et al, 2002) and volatile oils (Baser et al, 2000;Sajjadi & Mehregan, 2003;Sajjadi et al, 2009Sajjadi et al, , 2011Sefidkon et al, 1998) from different parts of the plants.…”
