Artemisia annua L. (Asteraceae) is native to China, now naturalised in many other countries, well known as the source of the unique sesquiterpene endoperoxide lactone artemisinin, and used in the treatment of the chloroquine-resistant and cerebral malaria. The essential oil is rich in mono- and sesquiterpenes and represents a by-product with medicinal properties. Besides significant variations in its percentage and composition have been reported (major constituents can be camphor (up to 48%), germacrene D (up to 18.9%), artemisia ketone (up to 68%), and 1,8 cineole (up to 51.5%)), the oil has been subjected to numerous studies supporting exciting antibacterial and antifungal activities. Both gram-positive bacteria (Enterococcus, Streptococcus, Staphylococcus, Bacillus, and Listeria spp.), and gram-negative bacteria (Escherichia, Shigella, Salmonella, Haemophilus, Klebsiella, and Pseudomonas spp.) and other microorganisms (Candida, Saccharomyces, and Aspergillus spp.) have been investigated. However, the experimental studies performed to date used different methods and diverse microorganisms; as a consequence, a comparative analysis on a quantitative basis is very difficult. The aim of this review is to sum up data on antimicrobial activity of A. annua essential oil and its major components to facilitate future approach of microbiological studies in this field.

“…In addition to the sesquiterpenes, the coumarin, esculin, isolated from the aerial parts of the sagebrush inhibits the growth of C. sativus especially of its radicles, but does not affect germination (McCahon et al, 1973). The essential oils from the aerial parts of different species of sagebrush, including A. tridentata, have been investigated (Kelsey et al, 1983;Epstein et al, 1984;Preston et al, 2001;Gunawardena et al, 2002), but thorough analyses of root volatiles of this genus have not been carried out (Kennedy et al, 1993;Blagojević et al, 2006;Goel et al, 2007).…”

Phytotoxic Volatiles in the Roots and Shoots of Artemisia tridentata as Detected by Headspace Solid-phase Microextraction and Gas Chromatographic-mass Spectrometry Analysis

In the vicinity of big sagebrush (Artemisia tridentata), the growth of Nicotiana attenuata is negatively affected, in part due to the alleopathic effect of methyl jasmonate (MeJA) which is produced in large quantities by the aerial parts of sagebrush. Preliminary experiments suggested that growth-inhibiting substances were being emitted from the sagebrush roots. To identify the allelochemical secondary metabolites, we tested different root extracts in seedling growth bioassays with the naturally co-occurring native tobacco, Nicotiana attenuata, in a two-chamber Petri dish assay, optimized for tests of volatiles. Fractions rich in volatile compounds were particularly phytotoxic. We analyzed the volatiles emitted from the roots of intact Artemisia tridentata plants grown in soil, sand, and hydroponic cultures by using dynamic headspace extraction, headspace solvent-microextraction (HSME) and headspace solid-phase microextraction (HSPME), and GC-MS. Camphor, 1,8-cineol, nerol, and neryl isovalerate were phytotoxic and released as the major constituents. In addition to the phytotoxic monoterpenes, himachalenes, longifolene, caryophyllene, and acetylenic spiroethers, were found as characteristic components in the root's volatiles. The allelopathic potential of these root volatiles was compared with that of methyl jasmonate (MeJA), one of the most active compounds emitted from above-ground parts of the plant.

“…Zhang found that three compositae plants had various degrees of inhibition effect to Microcystic aeruginos (M. aeruginosa) when co-cultivated with algae [15]. In this study, three familiar compositae plants -E. Annuus, C. Canadensis, and A. annua -have been selected because they rich in the natural bioactive products and have been proved obvious anti-bacterium or herbicide activity [16][17][18][19][20]. The chemical components of these plants were fractionated by extracting successively with three different solvents, and then the activity of crude fractions on cyanobacterium M. aeruginosa was tested in this paper, which provides a scientific basis for the possibility of controlling bloom by compositae and the development of a new algaecides chemical.…”

The algicidal activity of the terrestrial plants is a novel and promising means for alga control of eutrophic waters. In this study, three compositae plants -Artemisia annua (A. annua), Conyza canadensis (C. canadensis), and Erigeron annuus (E. annuus) were selected and antialgal activity of petroleum ether (PE), ethyl acetate (EA) and ethanol extracts of these plants on blue algae Microcystis aeruginosa was investigated. The result shows the EA extracts of these plants present the stronger inhibitory effects. The results of the further separation of PE and EA extracts according to water-solubility and acidity or alkalinity show that fatty acids and terpenoids in A. annua, terpenoids and organic acid in C. Canadensis and E. Annuus may be the main antialgal active constituents. This study suggested that the EA extracts of these plants could become the potential algicide to prevent water blooming. compositae plants, fractional extraction, microcystis aeruginosa, antialgal activity
