“…Likewise, the essential oil of S. quichensis from Costa Rica was also dominated by α-pinene (35.5-64.5%) with lesser concentrations of α-phellandrene (0.1-9.0%), p-cymene (0.1-11.5%), limonene (2.1-5.8%), β-phellandrene (up to 9.2%), and 1,8-cineole (up to 9.7%) [80]. In contrast, S. sonchifolia essential oil, grown in Sichuan, China, was made up of β-phellandrene (26.3%), β-bourbonene (10.2%), β-caryophyllene (14.0%), and β-cubebene (17.6%) [81]. The major components in the essential oil from the aerial parts of S. altissima (syn.…”

In the past, Native Americans of North America had an abundant traditional herbal legacy for treating illnesses, disorders, and wounds. Unfortunately, much of the ethnopharmacological knowledge of North American Indians has been lost due to population destruction and displacement from their native lands by European-based settlers. However, there are some sources of Native American ethnobotany remaining. In this work, we have consulted the ethnobotanical literature for members of the Asteraceae used in Cherokee and other Native American traditional medicines that are native to the southeastern United States. The aerial parts of Eupatorium serotinum, Eurybia macrophylla, Eutrochium purpureum, Polymnia canadensis, Rudbeckia laciniata, Silphium integrifolium, Smallanthus uvedalia, Solidago altissima, and Xanthium strumarium were collected from wild-growing plants in north Alabama. The plants were hydrodistilled to obtain the essential oils and the chemical compositions of the essential oils were determined by gas chromatography–mass spectrometry. The essential oils were tested for in-vitro antifungal activity against Aspergillus niger, Candida albicans, and Cryptococcus neoformans. The essential oil of E. serotinum showed noteworthy activity against C. neoformans with a minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) value of 78 μg/mL, which can be attributed to the high concentration of cyclocolorenone in the essential oil.

“…Properties to treat kidney problems and skin-rejuvenating activity also have been mentioned. Medicinal (antidiabetic) properties have been attributed to yacon leaves (Grau and Rea, 1996;Tapia et al, 1996) The essential oil from the leaves of yacon was isolated and twenty-one chemical constituents were identified, their amounts accounted for 96.2% of the total composition (Li et al, 2009). Leaves extracts can be used in prevention and treatment of chronic diseases involving oxidative stress, particularly diabetes (Valentová et al, 2004).…”

There are many valuable plant species improved by ancient cultures and cultivated locally but of very limited expansion worldwide. Some are considered neglected and underutilized species, such as the root and tuber crops from the Andes. They constitute traditional energy sources basic for the food security in the region but they also are great source of functional foods and there is a traditional associated knowledge on their nutraceutical properties. In this review, we focus on a few species (ahipa, arracacha, mashua, yacon) evaluated in the LATINCROP project which gathered information regarding their conservation status, cultivation practices and traditional uses and to promote new culinary uses. At the same time, this review covers the latest studies on the food components and their possible nutraceutical properties which may increase the public awareness to promote their adoption.

“…The hyphenated technique of Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) is a valuable tool in natural product research, assisting in the separation and identification of chemical components of complex volatile mixtures found in petrochemicals and volatile oils of plants in many natural product researches (Li et al, 2009;David et al, 2015), and organic extracts (Kimaru and Nguyen, 2014;Gomathi et al 2015). It is known for its high-resolution and separations of isomeric structurally similar mono-and sesqui-terpenes that are the main constituents of plant essential oils.…”

“…The use of electron ionisation-mass spectrometry (EI-MS) produces distinctive mass spectral fragmentation patterns, which when compared with stored EI spectra in the computer library, may help in identifying the separated components. In hyphenation with GC therefore, using the Rt, MS library and co-injection of pure isolates (reference standards), most peaks of the GC analyses of volatile oils have been conclusively identified while suggestions were made for the unknown components (Onayade and Adebajo, 2000;Li et al, 2009). The reversed phase column HP-5MS (5 % phenyl methyl silicone) that was used, should elute the most polar constituents first (Molnar and Horvath, 1976) and this knowledge would also assist in the identification of the resolved components.…”

Background: The potential of Artocarpus altilis stem bark as a safe antimalarial agent, and the identification of its antimalarial constituents was explored. Materials and Methods:The air-dried stem bark was extracted with 70% ethanol, filtered and concentrated in vacuo to obtain the extract (EE). The extract was successively partitioned to give n-hexane (AAH),dichloromethane (AAD), ethyl acetate (AAE)n-butanol (AAB)and aqueous (AAQ)fractions respectively after determining the acute toxicity using Lorke’s method. These were each evaluated for chemosuppressive antimalarial activities (0-200mg/kg) against chloroquine-sensitive Plasmodium berghei-berghei-infected albino mice. Normal saline and chloroquine, 10 mg/kg were negative and positive control respectively.The survival times and percentage survivors of the mice in both experiments were determined after observation for twenty-eight days post-drug administration. The five (5) column chromatographic (CC) fractions, AAH1, AAH2, AAH3, AAH4andAAH5 obtained from the most active AAH, were also evaluated for antimalarial activities (0-50mg/kg). Further column purification and repeated PTLC of AAH5 yielded three bands, which were finally subjected to GC-MS analysis. Results:EE gave ED50 and LD50 values of 227.17and >5000 mg/kg while its partitioned fractions gave ED50 values as follows: AAH, 79.14; AAD, 215.59;AAE, 160.46,AAB,81.42; and AAQ, 90.85 mg/kg respectively. The primary CC fractions also gave ED50 values as follows:AAH1 21.95;AAH2, 26.96;AAH3,21.30; AAH4, 20.92 andAAH5, 20.75 mg/kg respectively to identify AAH5 as the putative fraction. GC-MS analysis revealed eleven major compounds (1–11) in the three PTLC bands as the antiplasmodial constituents of the plant. Conclusion:The stem bark of A. altilis is a potential agent in malaria control which is safe for oral use.
