Abstract:

Background & Aim: Myrtle (Myrtus communis L.), is an important medicinal plant that is used for pharmacological uses and conservation of environments (for example preventing the soil erosion) regards to its specific condition habitat. Experimental: In this research, phytochemical variations of the essential oils from different populations of myrtle collected from Fars (Saydan, Cheshme-Ali, and Simakan), and Kohkeloyeh va Boyerahmad (Dehdasht and Gachsaran) provinces using GC-MS were analyzed. Results & Discussion: Results of GC/MS analysis indicated that α–pinene, 1,8–cineole, linalool, linalyl acetate, α–terpineol, and linalool oxide were the main components in the essential oils from all populations. The essential oils from the leaves of myrtle were characterized by high levels of oxygenated monoterpenes, hydrocarbon monoterpenes, phenylpropanoids and sesquiterpenes. Monoterpenes were the main constituents of the essential oil of the leaves of the collected plants. Cluster analysis based on Euclidean distance square by UPGMA method classified the samples into three groups. In this classification, samples referred to the Gachsaran and Dehdasht populations (Kohkeloyeh va Boyerahmad province), and the Saydan population (Fars province) were at the same group. Recommended applications/industries: Results indicated the main source of variability in chemical composition and oil yield of the studied populations seemed to be due to differences in environmental conditions and chemotypes.

Comparative Study of Essential Oils Extracted from Algerian Myrtus communis L. Leaves Using Microwaves and Hydrodistillation

Two different extraction methods were used for a comparative study of algerian myrtle leaf essential oils: solvent-free-microwave-extraction (SFME) and conventional hydrodistillation (HD). Essential oils analyzed by GC and GC-MS presented 51 components constituting 97.71 and 97.39% of the total oils, respectively. Solvent-Free-Microwave-Extract Essential oils SFME-EO were richer in oxygenated c...

Phytochemical composition of essential oils from Cinnamomum camphora leaves of different areas and their analgesic properties

This article was aimed to analyze the essential oils from Cinnamomum camphora leaves of four areas by GC-MS and to study their analgesic properties. Analgesia test was performed employing mouse acetic acid writhing method, hot plate method and reserpine induced migraine model, and plasma and brain tissue NO and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) contents were determined. The major compounds from essential...

Hypnotic effect of the essential oil from the leaves of Myrtus communis on mice

BACKGROUND Myrtus communis has been suggested as a sleep aid in unconventional medicine. Moreover, previous studies have also indicated its sedative- and hypnotic-like activity. In this study, the hypnotic effect of M. communis was investigated. METHODS Essential oil (EO) of M. communis (600, 800, and 1,000 mg/kg) was given orally to Swiss albino mice of both sex, and the hypnotic effect was ...
