Artemisia oil (Armoise oil) is obtained by steam distillation of the herb Artemisia herba-alba Asso (Asteraceae) that grows in Morocco. It is a light yellow to yellow liquid with a light herbaceous odor characteristic of thujone. 

The major components of artemisia oil are the ketones camphor (15-40%) and a- and /3-thujone (see p. 217) (together 70-25%) [267-270]. Since Artemisia herba-alba exists as various chemotypes, the composition of the oil may vary widely.

According to recent investigations, the commercially available oils derive from Artemisia herba-alba Asso (Morocco). Their qualitative composition is similar to the oil of Artemisia vulgaris, greater deviations have been observed quantitatively [165]. Nano et al. [166] demonstrated varying compositions in essential oils of various plant samples from Piedmont. Vulgarol, a bomane derivative, was detected as a new constituent in some of the oils. Spathulenol and a-cadinol, two sesquiterpene alcohols, as well as davanone were found by fork and co-workers [167, 168, 169]. 

A short-step synthesis of l-oxoeudesma-2,4-dien-l l)3i/-12,6a-olide (65), a sesquiterpene lactone isolated from Artemisia herba-alba, has been devised by Kawamata and coworkers [19]. The synthesis (Scheme 9) involved the reduction of santonin to compounds 36a and 36b and their oxidation with pyridinium chlorochromate (PCC) in CH2CI2 to give 9% of the rearranged product 65 and 30% of santonin. This procedure... 

Production By steam distillation of the wild mugwort species Artemisia herba-alba from Morocco. Composition A. herba-alba exists as numerous chemotypes that are, however, limited to specific regions. Main components of the classical A., the so-called Marrakech type, are a- and p thujan-3-ones (35 and 5%) and camphor (40%) other types contain up to 60% a-thujanone.

The EO of the aerial parts of Artemisia herba-alba Asso. (Asteraceae) exhibited signi cant antiproliferative effects on acute lymphocytic leukemia cancer cells. The cytotoxic activity started at very low doses (less than 0.5 pg/mL). At a high concentration (50 pg/ml), the cell viability was decreased by 80%. The ICjg value was 3 pg/mL (Tilaoui et al., 2011).
