“…The biosynthesis of these compounds begins at an early stage of plant development; therefore, in three-month-old specimens, the coumarin content may even reach 1.3%. The maximum level of this group of compounds has been found in five-year-old plants (Aglarova et al, 2008;Bhutia and Valant-vetschera, 2008;Obolskiy et al, 2011;Talbi et al, 2016;Mumivand et al, 2017;Bussmann et al, 2020;Sharopov et al, 2020).…”

Artemisia dracunculus L. (tarragon), Asteraceae, is a species that has long been used in traditional Asian medicine, mainly in Iran, Pakistan, Azerbaijan and India. It is known as a spice species in Asia, Europe and the Americas. The raw materials obtained from this species are herb and leaf. The presence of essential oil with a highly variable composition, as well as flavonoids, phenolic acids, coumarins and alkamides, determines the medicinal and/or spice properties of the plant. In traditional Asian medicine, this species is used, for example, in the treatment of digestive system diseases, as an analgesic, hypnotic, antiepileptic, anti-inflammatory and antipyretic agent, and as an effective remedy in the treatment of helminthiasis. Nowadays, A. dracunculus is the subject of professional phytochemical and pharmacological researches. Pharmacological studies have confirmed its anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects known from traditional uses; they have also proved very important new findings regarding its biological activity, such as antioxidant, immunomodulating and anti-tumour activities, as well as hepatoprotective and hypoglycaemic effects. A. dracunculus has long-held an established position in the food industry as a spice. And its use is growing in the cosmetics industry. Moreover, it is the subject of biotechnological research focused mainly on the development of micro-propagation protocols.

“…Phenylpropanoids (73.5%) constitute the main group of essential oil compounds. Monoterpenoids (24.3%) and sesquiterpenoids (0.2%) are present in the oil in considerably smaller amounts (Talbi et al, 2016;Bedini et al, 2017).…”

“…In addition, some regional varieties of tarragon are distinguished by their essential oil content [1,15,16]. The principal seconder metabolites of A. dracunculus L. are pyhtoalexins, coumarins, chromones, phenylpropanoids, phenylpropenes, chalcones, alkamides, polyphenolics, acetylenes, monoterpenes alkamides, flavonoids and sesquiterpene lactones [17][18][19][20][21][22][23]. The marker compound in the composition of A. dracunculus L. leaves is reported as herniarin [24].…”

Tarragon or Dragon's-wort (Artemisia dracunculus L.) is widely used as spice and in traditional medicine in various regions of the world. Inhibitory effects of the n-hexane, dichloromethane, ethanol and methanol extracts of the leaves of tarragon on the human carbonic anhydrase (hCA) I and II enzymes were investigated. Dichloromethane extract exhibited the strongest activity with lowest IC50 value (0.020 and 0.031 μg/mL, respectively). The chromatographic studies on the dichloromethane extract of tarragon allowed the isolation of six known strong inhibitors of hCA isozymes as trans-anethole, stigmasterol, herniarin, (2E,4E)-N-isobutylundeca-2,4-dien-8,10diynamide, (2E,4E)-1-(piperidin-1-yl)undeca-2,4-diene-8,10-diyn-1-one and 1-(4'-methoxyphenyl)-1,2,3trihydroxypropane. The compound, 1-(4'-methoxyphenyl)-1,2,3-trihydroxypropane was isolated from tarragon for the first time in this study. Among the tested compounds, 1-(4'-methoxyphenyl)-1,2,3-trihydroxypropane showed the highest inhibitiory impact on both hCA isozymes. Also its IC50 values were found lower than positive control, acetazolamide.

“…Regardless from sensory properties of essential oils, antimicrobial and antifungal activities are the goal of research. [11][12][13][14][15] The objective of this manuscript is to give a chemical and biological study on the essential oil of Cinnamomum verum, which is of industrial interest in cosmetic preparations. More precisely, this work is based on the identification of the chemical compounds of this essential oil by gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrophotometry GC-MS and the carrying out of antimicrobial activities by antibacterial tests against Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus and antifungal tests against Candida albicans and Aspergillus niger.…”

Bark of the plant Cinnamomum verum were purchased from the local market in Khénifra (Morocco), and identified at Department of Environmental engineering (EST-Khenifra-Moulay Ismail University). Voucher specimen of the plants were dried and deposited at the herbarium of laboratory. After this step, dried plant was submitted to steam distillation in a Clevenger-type apparatus for 3h and essential oil obtained were separated from water and dried over anhydrous Na2SO4 then stored at 4°C until use.
