“…As far as research on the in vitro antimicrobial activity of VAs in the vapour phase is concerned, their growth-inhibitory effect has been studied against a broad spectrum of pathogenic microorganisms associated with human infections (e.g., Candida albicans, Haemophilus influenzae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pneumoniae), foodborne diseases (e.g., Bacillus cereus, Escherichia coli, Listeria monocytogenes, Salmonella enteritidis), and plant diseases (e.g., Alternaria alternata, Aspergillus sp., Fusarium oxysporum, Penicillium sp.) [37]. The results of the antimicrobial effects of EOs and volatile compounds previously tested by various authors in a gaseous phase are summarized in ▶ Tables 1 and 2, respectively.…”

This review summarizes data on the in vitro antimicrobial effectiveness of volatile agents of plant origin and in vitro methods for evaluating their activity in the vapour phase. As a result of literature analysis, the antimicrobial efficacy of vapours from 122 different plant species and 19 pure compounds examined in 61 studies using different in vitro tests against a broad spectrum of microorganisms was identified and summarized. In addition, 11 different techniques found in the literature are described in detail. An original classification of methods based on the solid and liquid matrix volatilization principle is proposed because carrier medium/matrix selection is crucial for the volatilization of any agents tested. This review should be useful for medicinal, pharmaceutical, food, and agricultural experts working in areas related to the management of infectious diseases (especially respiratory and skin infections), food preservation (active packaging), and protection of agriculture products (controlled atmosphere). It may also stimulate the interest of pharmaceutical, cosmetic, food, and agriculture industries in the research and development of new antimicrobial agents of natural origin. Since several original apparatuses previously developed for antimicrobial susceptibility testing in the vapour phase are described in this review, labware manufacturers may also be interested in this topic. The review also provides specific guidelines and recommendations for researchers studying the antimicrobial activity of volatile agents. The article will therefore appeal to communities of industrial stakeholders, pharmacists, physicians, food experts, agriculturists, and researchers in related areas such as pharmacology, medicinal chemistry, microbiology, natural product chemistry, food preservation and plant protection.

“…Artemisia is one of the largest genera of the family Asteraceae or Compositae, consisting of 500 species; it mainly grows in the temperate regions of Asia, Europe, and North America (Abad, Bedoya, Apaza, & Bermejo, 2012;Pandey & Singh, 2017). As a folk medicine, Artemisia species have shown a wide range of pharmacological activities, such as antitussive, analgesic, antihypertensive, antitoxic, antiviral, antimalarial, and anti-inflammatory activities (Bora & Sharma, 2011;Tan, Zheng, & Tang, 1998).…”

Artemisia is one of the largest genera of the family Asteraceae or Compositae, consisting of 500 species. Some Artemisia species, such as Artemisia afra, A. sacrorum, and A. annua, have been widely used as traditional medicine to treat inflammatory and malarial diseases. However, the biological activity of A. montana has not been broadly studied. Therefore, in this study, we investigated the anti-inflammatory activity of A. montana leaf extract (ALE) and its molecular mechanisms in lipopolysaccharideactivated RAW 264.7 cells. Non-cytotoxic concentrations of ALE significantly reduced the expression of inducible nitric oxide (NO) synthase and cyclooxygenase-2, resulting in the decrease in NO and prostaglandin E 2. Moreover, ALE inhibited the production of tumour necrosis factor-α and interleukin-6. We also observed that ALE treatment repressed mitogen-activated kinase pathways by inhibiting the phosphorylation of extracellular signal-regulated kinase, c-Jun N-terminal kinase, and p38, suggesting that ALE is a therapeutic candidate to treat inflammatory diseases.

“…In Artemisia species having essential oils, certain compounds have been proposed as potential taxonomic markers, A. abyssinica (camphene, α-phellandrene), A. annua (artemisia ketone, α-pinene, camphor), A. absinthium (neryl isovalerate, linalyl isovalerate), A. afra (thujanone), A. apiaceae (camphene), A. arborescens (βthujone, chamazulene), A. arbuscula (artemiseole), A. argentea (α-phellandrene, iso-pinocamphone), A. asiatica (1,8-cineole, selin-11-en-4α-ol), A. aucheri (verbenone), A. campestris (β-pinene, γ-terpinene), A. capillaries (ɛ-cadinene, thujone), A. dracunculus (methyl chavicol), A. edgeworthii (ar-curcumene, terpinen-4-ol), A. fukudo (α-and β-thujone), A. herba-alba (1,8- [10 -16] Furthermore, some of this species may present chemotypes, having different oil compositions. A comprehensive review of the chemical composition of Artemisia was previously published (Pandey and Singh, 2017).

The essential oil composition of the aerial parts of Artemisia magellanica Sch. Bip. (Asteraceae), native to Patagonia, was analyzed by GC‐FID‐MS. This is the first report on the essential oil composition of A. magellanica. A total of 113 components were identified accounting for 95.6–95.7 % of the oil. The essential oil was characterized by a high percentage of γ‐costol (21.0–43.5 %), selina‐4,11‐diene, (Z)‐β‐ocimene, (E)‐β‐farnesene, (Z)‐en‐yn‐dicycloether and 23 different esters (28.7 %). In turn, Artemisia biennis, a species native to North America, which is considered by some authors to be conspecific with A. magellanica, yielded an essential oil that was rich in (Z)‐β‐ocimene (34.7 %), (E)‐β‐farnesene (40.0 %) and the acetylenes (Z)‐ and (E)‐en‐yn‐dicycloethers (11.0 %). Thus, as A. biennis lacks the three main components present in A. magellanica, namely γ‐costol, 2‐methylbutyl 2‐methylbutyrate and selina‐4,11‐diene, these compounds could be considered as potential chemical markers for A. magellanica since they are absent or only found as minor constituents in other members of the genus. The data presented herein is also useful for genus taxonomy.
