Absinthium

As another example of the experiments, Artemisia absinthium may be selected. The four stages of special interest were as follows —... 

Bode (20), working on the exudation of absinthin frcm Artemisia absinthium, showed that the growth of neighboring plants such as Foeniculun vulgare and others was influenced by these toxins and so, for the first time, produced exact evidence that such metabolic products can in nature influence the development of nearby plants.

Specific antagonists for GABAa receptors include the alkaloid convulsants bicuculline (Fig. 30-25)699 and picrotoxin (Fig. 22-4) and the convulsant terpenoid compound thujone (Fig. 22-3), which is present in the wormwood plant Artemesia absinthium. Thujone is present in the liqueur absinthe, which was the national drink of France in the late 19th century but, because of its toxicity, has been illegal in most countries since -1915.719... 

Botanical name Artemesia absinthium. [Herb category 4 (with limits on eucalyptol, methyleugenol and thujone) essential oil category 4 (with limits on eucalyptol, methyleugenol and thujone)]. 

Vermouth is officially classified as an "aromatized fortified wine," referring to its derivation from a white base wine fortified and infused with a proprietary set of different plant parts barks, seeds, and fruit peels. These are collectively termed botanicals. Vermouths are particularly popular in Europe and in the United States (Amerine et al., 1980 Griebel, 1955 Panesar et al., 2009). The term "vermouth" is derived from the German word for wormwood Wermut. It is supposedly derived from Wer (man) and Mut (courage, spirit, manhood Pilone, 1954). When vermouth was introduced into Bavaria in the first half of the seventeenth century, by the Piedmont producer Alessio, Artemisia absinthium was probably translated literally as Wermutwein. When it reached France, it was changed to vermouth (Liddle and Boero, 2003). 

WORMWOOD -- Artemisia absinthium. Family Compositae (Sunflower family). 

Thujane monoterpenes are based on the bicyclic (G3 C5) monoterpene thujane and include umbellone (thujan-2-one) and the neuroactives a-thujone and 3-thujone (thujan-3-one isomers) that can cause convulsions. Thujones are GABA(A) receptor antagonists and are the active constituents in oil of wormwood from Artemisia absinthium (Asteraceae) used in the alcoholic drink absinthe that was eventually banned because of its deleterious neurotoxic effects. 

Absinthin, the active principle of wormwood, Artemisia absinthium L. (Compositae), is a dimeric guaianolide containing two lactone rings and two hydroxy groups per molecule.162 Thelephoric acid (76b), isolated from fungi of several Thelephora species, has been synthesized by oxidative condensation of two molecules of sodium 3,4-dimethoxy-phenoxide with one of chloranil in the presence of hydrobromic acid.162a...
