Composition of the Essential Oil ofFerulago angulata(Schlecht.) Boiss. from Iran

Chemical composition, antibacterial and antifungal activities of seed essential oil of Ferulago angulata

“…[32] Moreover, regarding the previously reported contents of the aerial parts, oil of the plant consists of monoterpenes as a major constituent [9] which is in conformity with our results. On the other hand, our findings differ from those reported in some investigations, in which other components such as α-phellandrene and β-phellandrene [3,9] , suberosin, spathulenol, trans-β-caryophyllene, arcurcumene, and bicyclogermacrene [6] , α-pinene, limonene, β-myrcene, and fenchyl acetate [9] were the major compounds. A qualitative comparison of the oil constituents of F. angulata from different studies indicated significant differences in varying compositions, while some components that were not detected in our sample have been reported as the main compounds in others.…”

“…[12] Some of these compounds have both antibacterial and antifungal activities. [3,13] Moreover, the antibacterial and antifungal activities have previously been investigated for some Ferulago species as Ferulago asparagifolia, F. galbanifera, Ferulago humilis, F. trachycarpa, Ferulago thyrsiflora, Ferulago sylvatica, Ferulago bernardii, Ferulago nodosa, Ferulago longistylis, and Ferulago angulata subsp. carduchorum and inhibitory effects for microorganisms have been observed.…”

“…Its major chemical compounds have been identified and their percentages were different. [2,3,7,11] The F. angulata oils predominantly included ferulagone, β-hydroxy-13-epimanoyl oxide, α-pinene, 2,5-dimethoxy-p-cymene, p-cymene, methyl carvacrol, trans-chrysanthenyl acetate, γ-terpinene, myrcene, (Z)-β-ocimene, terpinolene, 2,4,5-trimethyl-benzaldehyde, and α-phellandrene. [7,12,13] The parts of the plant, its stage of development, and geographical origin can significantly influence the composition of the oils obtained from the species.…”

“…[1] Traditionally, the aerial parts of the plant added to diary and edible oil by natives to prevent from the oils expiration besides adding a pleasant taste to it. [3] Results of an ethnobotanical study [4] indicated the aerial parts of F. angulata have been used as antiseptic, spice, and air fresher by the people of Abdanan and Dehloran districts, western Iran. Furthermore, it has been used in folk medicine as sedative, tonic, digestive, carminative, vermifuge, aphrodisiac, anti-oxidation, antidiabetics, anti-parasitic, and for the treatment of chronic ulcers, snakebites, intestinal worms, haemorrhoids, headache, and diseases of the spleen.…”
