“…Several earlier studies have focused on the metabolic products of P. spinosa for taxonomic and potential medicinal applications. It has been reported that the plant is rich in sesquiterpenes and oxygenated sesquiterpenoids . Chemical analysis of the volatile oil extracted from fresh flower heads of the plant identified high percentages of oxygenated sesquiterpenoids, such as germacra‐1(10),5‐diene‐3,4‐diol, α ‐cadinol, 3‐acetoxygermacra‐1(10),5‐dien‐4‐ol, T‐cadinol, and δ ‐cadinene .…”

This study was performed to determine the chemical composition, antioxidant and cytotoxic effects of essential oils extracted from the aerial parts of fresh (F-PSEO) and air-dried (D-PSEO) Pallenis spinosa. The composition of the oils was analyzed by gas chromatography (GC) and GC/mass spectrometry, the antioxidant activity by free radical scavenging and metal chelating assays, and their cytotoxicity by a flow cytometry analysis. The primary components in both oils were sesquiterpene hydrocarbons and oxygentated sesquiterpenes. F-PSEO contained 36 different compounds; α-cadinol (16.48%), germacra-1(10),5-diene-3,4-diol (14.45%), γ-cadinene (12.03%), and α-muurolol (9.89%) were the principal components. D-PSEO contained 53 molecules; α-cadinol (19.26%), δ-cadinene (13.93%), α-muurolol (12.88%), and germacra-1(10),5-diene-3,4-diol (8.41%) constituted the highest percentages. Although both oils exhibited a weak radical scavenging and chelating activity, compared to α-tocopherol and ascorbic acid, D-PSEO showed a 2-fold greater antioxidant activity than F-PSEO. Furthermore, low doses of F-PSEO were able to inhibit the growth of leukemic (HL-60, K562, and Jurkat) and solid tumor cells (MCF-7, HepG2, HT-1080, and Caco-2) with an IC range of 0.25 - 0.66 μg/ml and 0.50 - 2.35 μg/ml, respectively. F-PSEO showed a ca. 2 - 3-fold stronger cytotoxicity against the tested cells than D-PSEO. The potent growth inhibitory effect of the plant essential oil encourages further studies to characterize the molecular mechanisms of its cytotoxicity.

“…While P. spinosa showed the lowest yield (0.04%) [13], the other species of the genus studied till date had similar results: A. graveolens showed an yield (0.06%) [12] and A. maritimus from Italy showed the yield of 0.06% [17]. It is worth noting that for P. spinosa and A. maritimus, the yields were calculated on fresh weight.…”

“…Although Asteriscus is not a very large genus, few studies have been published related to it [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18]. The study of the molecular systematic of some Macaronesian species exposed that Asteriscus is paraphyletic [5].…”

The essential oil composition of different aerial parts (stems+leaves and flowers) of Asteriscus maritimus has been analysed by gas chromatography which was coupled with mass spectrometry. A total of 43 compounds have been identified from the different fractions studied, representing more than the 90% of the total oil for each one. Both aerial parts shared most of the main compounds although quantitative differences have been detected. The oils extracted from the stems and leaves showed α-pinene (27.5%) and p-cymene (10.0%) as major components. In the flower oils these compounds were also representative, α-pinene (9.0%) and p-cymene (7.3%), although the main ones were β-phellandrene (11.8%), fonenol (10.9%) and α-phellandrene (10.0%). These compounds were representatively found in the other fraction: β-phellandrene (8.38%), α-phellandrene (7.28%) and fonenol (5.6%). The monoterpene fraction was predominant in the stems and leaves oil (54.6%) while the sesquiterpene fraction was the largest one in the flowers oil (55.3%).
