Phytochemical and Antibacterial Activity of The Essential Oil of Artemisia herba-alba from Morocco
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Pharmacy and Biological Sciences (IOSR-JPBS) - Year 2016, Vol 11, Issue 6
Abstract
The extraction of essential oils from the aerial part of Artemisia herba-alba is obtained by hydrodistillation and analyzed by gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (GC/MS) for determining their chemical composition. Their antibacterial activity was studied in vitro on two bacterial strains: Salmonella typhi and Staphylococcus aureus. The essential oil yields of the studied plant were 0.21 for fresh aerial part and 0.25% for dry aerial part. The major component of the essential oil from dry aerial part of Artemisia herba-alba was the α-terpineol (47.33%), myrtenyl acetate (22.22%) and chrysanthenyl acetate (20.55%). While the major compounds of essential oil from fresh aerial part was the Borneol (35.68%), αterpineol (33.36%), and δ-cadinol (12.07%). The bacterial strains tested were found to be sensitive to essential oils studied and showed a very effective bactericidal activity with minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) ranging from 0.125 to 0.5 mg/ml.
