Chemical constituents and biological activities of Iranian Artemisia species

摘要: Abstract Acyclic monoterpenes, monoterpene hydroperoxide, bicyclic glycosides and unusual monoterpenes have been found in some Iranian Artemisia species. The volatile oils of are chemically complex mixtures, often containing excess 100 individual components for instance the oil siberi more than 160 constituents were identified. Cyclic sesquiterpenes, namely bisabolene derivatives a salsolene keton also A. described. Reports dealing with isolation structure elucidation sesquiterpene lactones species increased dramatically. extract aerial parts diffusa collected province Khorassan (Iran) afforded, addition to several eudesmanolides, new type lactone endoperoxide group that probably has same effect Artemisinin as antimalarial agent. Penta methoxylated flavone from kulbadica reported. reviewed this paper.
