Of growing interest, the plant Artemisia annua, known for its malarial properties, has been studied for its numerous biological activities including metabolic, anti-tumor, anti-microbial and immunomodulatory properties. Artemisia annua is very rich in secondary metabolites such as monoterpenes, sesquiterpenes and phenolic compounds, of which the biological properties have been extensively studied. The purpose of this review is to gather and describe the data concerning the main chemical components produced by Artemisia annua and to describe the state of the art about the biological activities reported for this plant and its compounds beyond malaria. Keywords: Artemisia annua; Asteraceae; biological properties; secondary metabolites 1. Introduction The family Asteraceae comprises a wide number of genera, of which the genus Artemisia is one of the largest and most widely distributed worldwide [1]. The genus Artemisia L. is heterogeneous and consists of over 500 species widely geographically distributed in all continents except Antarctica. The genus acclimatizes to any environment, from sea level to high altitudes [2]. However, most of Artemisia species grow preferentially in the Northern Hemisphere and at a lower level in the Southern Hemisphere [3,4]. Species of this genus can be perennial, biennial or annual grasses, shrubs or bushes Int. J. Mol. Sci. 2020, 21, 4986; doi:10.3390/ijms21144986 www.mdpi.com/journal/ijms Int. J. Mol.

Accepted 9 July, 2013 Antibacterial properties of essential oils (EOs) extracted from Salvia sclarea, Artemisia annua and Dracocephalum heterophyllum against 17 food borne pathogens was studied. EOs of the three plants showed a broad spectrum of antimicrobial activity with different degrees of inhibition against the tested Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. EOs of Salvia and Dracocephalum depicted bactericidal mode of action while that of Artemisia inhibited the bacteria with bacteriostatic mode. Salmonella enterica MTCC 733 was the most sensitive strain to Salvia, Artemisia and Dracocephalum EOs with minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values of 2000, 2000 and 8000 µg/ml, respectively. The antimicrobial activity of EOs individually and in combinations based on their respective MIC values against S. enterica was tested in raw chicken. Treatment of food sample with 20 times MIC value of S. sclarea, A. annua and D. heterophyllum EOs individually caused reduction of bacterial load to 3.36, 3.64 and 4.22 log cfu/g after 180 min. In contrast the bacterial cell loads reduced to an undetectable level by the combinative effect ( Salvia + Dracocephalum and Salvia + Artemisia ) of EOs at MIC value after 120 and 180 min, respectively.

  • Plant Life of Western Australia
    INTRODUCTION The characteristic features of the vegetation of Australia I. General Physiography At present the animals and plants of Australia are isolated from the rest of the world, except by way of the Torres Straits to New Guinea and southeast Asia. Even here adverse climatic conditions restrict or make it impossible for migration. Over a long period this isolation has meant that even what was common to the floras of the southern Asiatic Archipelago and Australia has become restricted to small areas. This resulted in an ever increasing divergence. As a consequence, Australia is a true island continent, with its own peculiar flora and fauna. As in southern Africa, Australia is largely an extensive plateau, although at a lower elevation. As in Africa too, the plateau increases gradually in height towards the east, culminating in a high ridge from which the land then drops steeply to a narrow coastal plain crossed by short rivers. On the west coast the plateau is only 00-00 m in height but there is usually an abrupt descent to the narrow coastal region. The plateau drops towards the center, and the major rivers flow into this depression. Fed from the high eastern margin of the plateau, these rivers run through low rainfall areas to the sea. While the tropical northern region is characterized by a wet summer and dry win- ter, the actual amount of rain is determined by additional factors. On the mountainous east coast the rainfall is high, while it diminishes with surprising rapidity towards the interior. Thus in New South Wales, the yearly rainfall at the edge of the plateau and the adjacent coast often reaches over 100 cm.

The complete chloroplast (cp) genome of Asteraceae usually occurs in the inversions of two regions. Hence, the cp genome sequences and structures of Asteraceae species are crucial for the cp genome genetic diversity and evolutionary studies. Hence, in this paper, we have sequenced and analyzed for the first time the cp genome size of C. carinatum Schousb and K. indica, which are 149,752 bp and 152,885 bp, with a pair of inverted repeats (IRs) (24,523 bp and 25,003) separated by a large single copy (LSC) region (82,290 bp and 84,610) and a small single copy (SSC) region (18,416 bp and 18,269), respectively. In total, 79 protein-coding genes, 30 distinct transfer RNA (tRNA) genes, four distinct rRNA genes and two pseudogenes were found not only in C.

Background: Artemisia annua L.is a well-established medicinal herb used for millennia to treat parasites and fever-related ailments caused by various microbes. Although effective against many infectious agents, the plant is not a miracle cure and there are infections where it has proved ineffective or limited. It is important to report those failures. Methods: Here artemisinin, artesunate and dried leaf slurries of A. annua were used daily for 6 days in vivo against Babesia microti in mice 2 days post infection at 100 µg artemisinin/kg body weight. Parasitemia was measure before and 15 days days post treatment. Artemisinin and extracts of A. annua also were tested in vitro against six Candida sp. at artemisinin concentrations up to 180 µM and growth measured after cultures were fed drugs once at different stages of growth and also after repeated dosing.

Kholodny Institute of Botany National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine 2 Tereshchenkivska Street Kiev (Kyiv), 01004 Ukraine [email protected] ABSTRACT Corrections and additions are provided for the existing typifications of plant names in Artemisia subg. Tridentatae . In particular, second-step lectotypifications are proposed for the names Artemisia trifida Nutt., nom. illeg. (A. tripartita Rydb., the currently accepted replacement name), A. fischeriana Besser (= A. californica Lessing, the currently accepted name), and A. pedatifida Nutt. For several nomenclatural types of names listed in earlier publications as "holotypes," the type designations are corrected to lectotypes (Art. 9.9. of ICN ). Newly discovered authentic specimens (mostly isolectotypes) of several names in the group are listed and discussed, mainly based on specimens deposited in the Besser and Turczaninov memorial herbaria at the National Herbarium of Ukraine (KW). The Turczaninov herbarium is particularly rich in Nuttall's specimens, which are often better represented and better preserved than corresponding specimens available from BM, GH, K, PH, and some other major herbaria.

To evaluate the antibacterial activity and chemical constituents of the essential oil from the artemisia argyi grown in Qichun (China). METHODS: Steam distillation method was used to extract volatile oil from Artemisia argyi. The antibacterial effect of the volatile oil was investigated by the plate coating method and the double gradient liquid dilution method. Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry(GC-MS) was applied for the identification of chemical constituents in volatile oil from Artemisia argyi and the relative percentage of each component was calculated by area normalization. RESULTS: The essential oil from artemisia argyi grown in Qichun (China) has significant antibacterial activity against staphylococcus aureus, pseudomonas aeruginosa, salmonella, candida albicans, aspergillus niger and aspergillus flavus. And fifty chemical components were detected in the essential oil, and twenty compounds were identified, accounting for 95.95% of total essential oil. And the artemisol in artemisia argyi grown in Qichun (China) was found to be the highest compared with the same species from other producing areas. CONCLUSION: The essential oil from artemisia argyi grown in Qichun (China) was a potent antibacterial plant extract with potential applications as an antibacterial drugs or food preservative. 1 Introduction Plant material and essential oil extractionartemisia argyi have shown that many constituents are identified from Essential oils are present in various aromatic plants that the dried leaves, such as monoterpenes, sesquiterpenes are commonly grown in tropical and subtropical and triterpenes.
