“…Thus, 8-cineole constituted the major constituent of Lavandula essential oils in agreement with previous report [33]. In contrast, other compounds as p-cymen-8-ol, pinocarvone and α-terpineol and α -terpinen-7-al and fenchone, were not detected in our sample, but were found in other report [34].…”

BackgroundThe present study described the phytochemical profile of Lavandula stoechas essential oils, collected in the area of Ain-Draham (North-West of Tunisia), as well as their protective effects against alloxan-induced diabetes and oxidative stress in rat.MethodsEssential oils samples were obtained from the aerial parts of the plant by hydrodistillation and analyzed by GC–MS. Rats were divided into four groups: Healthy Control (HC); Diabetic Control (DC); Healthy + Essential Oils (H + EO) and Diabetic + Essential Oils (D + EO).Antidiabetic and antioxidant activities were evaluated after subacute intraperitoneally injection of Lavandula stoechas essential oils (50 mg/kg b.w., i.p.) to rats during 15 days.ResultsThe principal compounds detected are: D-Fenchone (29.28%), α-pinene (23.18%), Camphor (15.97%), Camphene (7.83%), Eucapur (3.29%), Limonene, (2.71%) Linalool, (2.01%) Endobornyl Acetate (1.03%). The essential oils also contained smaller percentages of Tricyclene, Cymene, Delta-Cadinene, Selina-3,7(11)-diene. Furthermore, we found that Lavandula stoechas essential oils significantly protected against the increase of blood glucose as well as the decrease of antioxidant enzyme activities induced by aloxan treatment. Subacute essential oils treatment induced a decrease of lipoperoxidation as well as an increase of antioxidant enzyme activities.ConclusionsThese findings suggested that lavandula stoechas essential oils protected against diabetes and oxidative stress induced by alloxan treatment. These effects are in partly due to its potent antioxidant properties.

“…It was noteworthy that the composition of L. stoechas essential oils in North Africa was in partial agreement with the previous report [33]. Thus, 8-cineole constituted the major constituent of Lavandula essential oils in agreement with previous report [33].…”

“…By means of authentic samples ob- (11,12). The mass spectrum of K was comparable with that of ö-terpineol published by Sendra and Cuñat (13,14) and by De Pascual-T. et al (15). A sample of ô-terpineol synthesized by the authors last mentioned, proved to be identical with our component K. Recently ö-terpineol was reported to be a new natural product, present in the essential oil of Lavandula latifolia (15).…”

The essential oil of OCIMUM KILIMANDSCHARICUM Guerke, growing wild in Rwanda, was investigated by LSC, GLC and GC-MS. The oil contained 62% 1.8-cineole, indicating the occurrence of a new chemotype of the species concerned. In addition to 1.8-cineole, 16 oxygen-containing compounds and 14 monoterpene hydrocarbons were identified, of which limonene and beta-pinene were the main components. Most of the constituents were not previously known to be present in the essential oil of O. KILIMANDSCHARICUM.

“…Because of the great usage of both, the flowers and the essential oil, lavender is cultivated in many countries worldwide (Argentina, Brazil, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Greece, Croatia, Hungary, Iran, Italy, Russia, Spain, Turkey, Japan and United Kingdom) (Trease and Evans, 1978). Several plants of this genus have been studied from the chemical, biological and pharmacological point of view (Pascual et al, 1983;Gamez et al, 1987;Kokkalou, 1988;Ghelardini et al, 1999;Lis-Balchin and Hart, 1999;An et al, 2001;Cavanagh and Wilkinson, 2002;Nogueira and Romano, 2002). In this study, antimicrobial activity of the crude methanol and hexane extracts and essential oil from leaf and stem of L. officinalis cultivated in Ardabil (northwest Iran) were examined using different bacterial species.…”

The leaves and stem-bark of Lavandula officinalis were investigated for activity against some pathogenic organisms. Phytochemical screening revealed the presence of coumarins, tannins, flavonoids, volatile oil and fatty acids. Twenty six and twenty were characterized representing 84.5% (leaf oil) and 91.4% (stem oil) of the lot of components detected. The leaf oil of the major constituents was identified as borneol (23.6%), 1, 8-cineol (17.6%), camphor (12.6%). In the stem oil of plant 1, 8cineol (20.8%), borneol (19.2%), α-cadinol (11.3%), caryophyllene oxide (10.4%) and camphor (7.4%) were the predominating compounds. The hexane extracts of leaf and stem of plant were obtained by soxhlet apparatus. The fatty acids were derived to methyl esters and determined by gas chromatograph and mass spectrometer (GC/MS) systems. The main components of the leaf and stem (hexanic extracts) were ω -3 (43.2 and 21.0%), ω-6 (3.4 and 14.5%), palmitic acid (7.4 and 12.4%) and Bis (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (12.8 and 16.7%), respectively. Antimicrobial activities of the crude methanol, hexane extracts and essential oil from leaf and stem were evaluated using agar diffusion method. Results, suggest potential antimicrobial activity of the essential oil and extracts of L. officinalis, which may find those application in future research for the food and pharmaceutical industry.
