“…Besides, the major compounds of Vitex pseudo-negundo flower EO were α -pinene (30.3%), followed by α -terpinyl acetate (17.3%), (E)-caryophyllene (13.1%), and limonene (11.6) which comprised more than two-thirds of the EO of the plant flower. The results of the present investigation partially match with the results of earlier findings reported that α -pinene (25.4–44.2%), α -terpinyl acetate (1.1–17.3%), and limonene (6.9–11.9) are the major monoterpenoids obtained from the flowers EO of Vitex pseudo-negundo Iranian plant [ 4 ]. However, some reports demonstrated that sabinene (20.3%) and β -caryophyllene (14.1%) were the major components of the flower EO of Vitex pseudo-negundo [ 28 ].…”

“…The major chemical compositions of the fruit EO of Vitex pseudo-negundo were α -pinene (32.7%), α -terpinyl acetate (16.8%), limonene (9.5%), and (E)-caryophyllene (8.3%) which accounted for almost 67%. The findings of this study partially agreed with the investigated EO composition of Vitex pseudo-negundo fruit harvested in Iran which reported α -pinene (25.4–47.7%), α -terpinyl acetate (0.5–21.1%), (E)-caryophyllene (4.6–24.7%), and limonene (8.9–13.9%) as major constituents of the fruit EO [ 4 ]. In research on Vitex pseudo-negundo collected from the Aydın/Koçarlı roadside in Turkey, the main constituents of EOs were different in comparison with the results of the present study.…”

“…This genus serves as an important natural source of traditional medicine in Western Asia, including Syria, Iran, Afghanistan, and other areas. In Iran, it can be found in Tehran, Karaj, Qom, Khorasan, Ahvaz, and Fars provinces [ 1 , 3 , 4 ]. Recent studies have revealed that Vitex pseudo-negundo possesses various medicinal properties such as antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant activities.…”

Background. Vitex pseudo-negundo is a plant of the Lamiaceae family that grows in different parts of the world and the vicinity of seasonal rivers in Iran. Methods. The chemical composition of the Vitex pseudo-negundo essential oils was distilled and evaluated using gas chromatography/mass spectrometry. The antifungal activity of the essential oils against the fungal strains was analyzed by broth microdilution methods as suggested by the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute. Furthermore, the antibiofilm activity of the Vitex pseudo-negundo essential oils was assessed using the XTT reduction assay. Results. Based on GC/MS analysis, the major components of the Vitex pseudo-negundo essential oils were α-pinene, α-terpinyl acetate, limonene, and (E)-caryophyllene. The growth of tested yeasts was inhibited at concentrations ranging from 2 to 64 μl/mL. Vitex pseudo-negundo fruit essential oil was the most effective in inhibiting yeast growth. Moreover, the essential oils exhibited antifungal activity against filamentous fungi strains. Additionally, the biofilm formation of Candida albicans was inhibited by the leaf, flower, and fruit of the essential oils. Conclusion. Considering the significant antifungal activities of these essential oils, they can be considered a potential source for formulating novel agents to control fungal infections.

“…Bicyclogermacrene is structurally similar to germacrene with a classic bicyclogermacrene skeleton. This compound appears in six Vitex species and is one of the main products of V. agnus-castus [24,55,56,59,113] and V. pseudo-negundo [34,105,114]. OvTPS4 from oregano [115] and EgranTPS041 from Eucalyptus [116] were the first genes identified in plants responsible for the expression of a synthase that resulted in the production of bicyclogermacrene by heterologous expression.…”

Taxonomic Insights and Its Type Cyclization Correlation of Volatile Sesquiterpenes in Vitex Species and Potential Source Insecticidal Compounds: A Review

Sesquiterpenes (SS) are secondary metabolites formed by the bonding of 3 isoprene (C5) units. They play an important role in the defense and signaling of plants to adapt to the environment, face stress, and communicate with the outside world, and their evolutionary history is closely related to their physiological functions. This review considers their presence and extensively summarizes the 156 sesquiterpenes identified in Vitex taxa, emphasizing those with higher concentrations and frequency among species and correlating with the insecticidal activities and defensive responses reported in the literature. In addition, we classify the SS based on their chemical structures and addresses cyclization in biosynthetic origin. Most relevant sesquiterpenes of the Vitex genus are derived from the germacredienyl cation mainly via bicyclogermacrene and germacrene C, giving rise to aromadrendanes, a skeleton with the highest number of representative compounds in this genus, and 6,9-guaiadiene, respectively, indicating the production of 1.10-cyclizing sesquiterpene synthases. These enzymes can play an important role in the chemosystematics of the genus from their corresponding routes and cyclizations, constituting a new approach to chemotaxonomy. In conclusion, this review is a compilation of detailed information on the profile of sesquiterpene in the Vitex genus and, thus, points to new unexplored horizons for future research.

Various studies and applied processing by businesses have been done to improve the quality of Patchouli oil (PO), such as improving appearance, reducing heavy metal content, reducing acid numbers, and increasing the ratio of Patchouli alcohol (one of the active components of PO). However, this disregards the possibility of chemical composition change which will alter the original character of the PO. This study aims to identify the slightest shift in chemical composition from adding zeolite adsorbent into the PO. The classification model was built using Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectra combined with chemometrics. The used FT-IR spectra for observation are 4000-500 cm-1 using Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and Partial Least Square-Discriminant Analysis (PLS-DA). The PO samples were from five points in Gayo Lues Regency, Province of Aceh, Indonesia, with PO added with zeolite at a ratio of 0.5%, 1.0%, 1.5%, 2.0%, and 2.5% (w/v) respectively. The classification model used in this study was able to classify between PO and PO added with zeolite at each level of the ratio. Prediction with deviation and Inlier vs. Hotelling’s T2 tests provide definitive information, with the results shown by the confusion matrix.
