Phytochemical Contents of Five <i>Artemisia</i> Species

Abstract

In the present study, the fatty acid compositions, vitamin, sterol contents and flavonoid constituents of five Turkish Artemisia species (A. armeniaca, A. incana , A. tournefortiana, A. haussknechtii and A. scoparia) were determined by GC and HPLC techniques. The results of the fatty acid analysis showed that Artemisia species possess high saturated fatty acid compositions. On the other hand, the studied Artemisia species were found to have low vitamin and sterol contents. Eight flavononids (catechin, naringin, rutin, myricetin, morin, naringenin, quercetin, kaempferol) were determined in the present study. It was found that Artemisia species contained high levels of flavonoids. Morin (45.35 ± 0.65 – 1406.79 ± 4.12 μg/g) and naringenin (15.32 ± 0.46 – 191.18 ± 1.22 μg/g) were identified in all five species. Naringin (268.13 ± 1.52 – 226.43 ± 1.17 μg/g) and kaempferol (21.74 ± 0.65 – 262.19 ± 1.38 μg/g) contents were noted in the present study. Present research showed that the studied Artemisia taxa have high saturated fatty acids and also rich flavonoid content.

The cytotoxic and apoptotic effects of wild and polyploidy genotype of Artemisia cina extracts on the WiDr colon and HTB-183 lung cancer cell lines

“…Previous studies have shown that these bioactive compounds in Artemisia have antimicrobial, antimalarial, antioxidant, anthelmintic, and anticancer effects (Koul et al 2017;Kasmiyati et al 2020). Kursat et al (2015) was identified that the quercetin and kaempferol content in five types of Artemisia was similar to A. spicigera and A. splendens. They were found that the two compound.…”

Study of Some Potential Wild Plants as a Biofuel Source

“…Esterification of free fatty acids using sulfuric acids, catalyst in the presence of triglycerides [15] Modification of the oil to its ethyl esters was made using 2% H2SO4 as catalyst in the presence of dry ethyl alcohol in excess. The chromatographic analysis was made using Hewlett Packard Model 6890 Chromatograph and parts of plant material were finely grounded in amill and were then extracted with nhexane/isopropanol (3:2 v/v) .The lipid extracts were centrifuged at 10,000 rpm for 5 min and filtered; the solvent was then removed on a rotary evaporator at 40 C. The extracted lipids were stored under -25 C until further analysis.…”

“…These factors can be modulated by impacting on the diameter of the restriction die located at the meal discharge and by screw rotation speed (the lower the speed and the smaller the restriction opening, the higher the yield) [15] applied continued to the fatty acid synthesis for Artemisia species to use were fixed by GC and HPLC techniques., so that the results to the fatty acid analysis showed that to Artemisia species possess high saturated fatty acid compositions, so the constant fatty acids in the Artemisia species were found to be palmitic acid, stearic acid, palmitoleic acid, oleic acid, linoleic acid, eicosadienoic acid and docosadienoic acid, and also that to El Sayed A. M. et al, (2017) identification and quality control to Artemisia monosperma for used to HPLC technique, so that to its good trophic value indicated of a high protein 8.4%, low fat 4.2% and cognizable vitamin A and E contents. Squalene 32.5% and linoleic acid 26.5% were detected as major lipoids.…”

“…The results showed that to table (1) high volume Palmitic acid 4.42 to G 2 and Respectively, volume Lauric acid G1(1.06), G2( 5.32) and G3(2.08) and also less volume Palmitic acid 3.15 to G 2, perhabes volume high Meristic acid 2.56 to G 1 but also less volume Meristic acid 1.38 to G3. In the world knows the Artemisia to herba-alba oil and called scheih oil [10] has been thoroughly investigated and the diversity to oil structure from plants grown to various countries and even those for various places to the same country have led for the many oil-dependent chemo types assigned to the plant [10] and any way that to the oil was largely reported to be composed to mono terpenoids, mainly oxygenated, such as 1,8-cineole, chrysanthenone, chrysanthenol (and its acetate), camphor as the major components [13,12] and also to the fatty acid structures, vitamin, sterol contents and flavonoid constituents to five Turkish Artemisia species were determined by GC and HPLC technique so found that to the results to the fatty acid analysis showed that Artemisia species possess high saturated fatty acid compositions [15]. The plant litter accumulation may cause indirect chemical effects mediated to the release to allelochemicals in to the environment after its decomposition [18,2].…”

Five case reports on treatment of diabetes by Artemisia annua and Artemisia afra herbal tea

“…And it is possibly related to the prophylactic and therapeutic properties of all Artemisia plants. 28,29 Anthocyanins and proanthocyanidins (condensed tannins) also are able to protect and regenerate β-cells. 30,31 The fact that mostly aqueous or ethanolic extracts have an antidiabetic impact points to polar rather than to lipohilic constituents of the Artemisia plants.…”
