Isolation of Anisyl Acetone from Agarwood Oil

Medicinal herbs are one of the imperative sources of drugs all over the world. Star anise (Illicium verum), an evergreen, medium-sized tree with star-shaped fruit, is an important herb with wide distribution throughout southwestern parts of the Asian continent. Besides its use as spice in culinary, star anise is one of the vital ingredients of the Chinese medicinal herbs and is widely known for its antiviral effects. It is also the source of the precursor molecule, shikimic acid, which is used in the manufacture of oseltamivir (Tamiflu ® ), an antiviral medication for influenza A and influenza B. Besides, several other molecules with numerous biological benefits including the antiviral effects have been reported from the same plant. Except the antiviral potential, star anise possesses a number of other potentials such as antioxidant, antimicrobial, antifungal, anthelmintic, insecticidal, secretolytic, antinociceptive, antiinflammatory, gastroprotective, sedative properties, expectorant and spasmolytic, and estrogenic effects. This review aimed to integrate the information on the customary attributes of the plant star anise with a specific prominence on its antiviral properties and the phytochemical constituents along with its clinical aptness.

A compilation of the volatile and semi-volatile constituents of agarwood, the infected fragrant heartwood of some Aquilaria species, mainly A. malaccensis, A. sinensis and A. crassna, is presented. This high-priced wood has a long tradition in religious ceremonies as incense and its essential oil is well appreciated in fine perfumery. More than 150 compounds have been identified so far, mostly sesquiterpenoids, chromones and volatile aromatic compounds. The scarce knowledge of their organoleptic properties is summarized. Studies on the chemistry of agarwood smoke are discussed. Emphasis is given to structural and analytical aspects.

“…While in this study, there were 13, 8 and 5 potential chemical markers including celastrol discovered from root, stem and leaf, respectively. The markers in root including 8 triterpenoids (35,39,50,51,63,80,88,90), 1 steroids (57), 1 organic acid esters (87), 1 phenylpropanoids (103) and 2 other compounds (73,86). The markers in stem including 4 triterpenoids (64, 84, 85, 100), 1 avonoids (2), 1 phenylpropanoids (30), 1 steroids (52) and 1 organic acid esters (61).…”
