From Artemisia vulgaris

Bicyclo[2,2,l]heptanes.—Vulgarole (202 R=Ac) has been isolated from Artemisia vulgaris and Ferula dshizakensis has yielded a new borneol ester, isotschimgin (cf. Vol. 3, p. 58)." ... 

Intermolecular isotopic correlations are thus indicative for the authenticity of natural flavour mixtures. The method for their assessment is GC-C/P-IRMS (combustion/ reductive pyrolysis). As an early example for intermolecular isotope correlations, the result of a GC-C-IRMS analysis of the essential oil from Coriandrum sativum is given in Fig. 6.19 [327]. Further examples are corresponding analyses of oils from Artemisia vulgaris [327], Coriandrum sativum [337] and various lemon oils (Table 6.8) ]325, 338, 339]. In any of these cases typical correlations are found between the compounds of the same origin, even when their average 8-values may differ between... 

New naturally occurring monoterpenes having the artemisia skeleton include artemisia ketone epoxide (208), isolated from Artemisia vulgaris and synthesized from prenyl chloride (15, R = Cl), and senecioic acid (59) chloride under Grignard conditions.( + )-Artemisia alcohol (209) has been isolated from A. herba alba [the usually encountered form is the (- )-(S)-isomer (- )-209]. An incompletely characterized triacetate 210 is also reported from the Brazilian plant Calea oxylepis. ...

Specific inhibitors have also been extracted, and studied, from Cyperns esculentus (146) Artemisia vulgaris (87) Madia glomerata (26) roots of Chrysanthemum morifolium (4) Zinnia oligantha (145) and Vitis vinifera (133).

There are only few references on odd-numbered lactones in the literature. The first reports on the natural occurrence of y-nonalactone and y-undecalactone are known from the early flavour literature [28-30], long before sophisticated analytical techniques, such as enantio-cGC-MS, became available. These data have to be reevaluated, should the situation arise. Worner et al. [31] provided the first report on y-nonalactone among the volatile constituents of Artemisia vulgaris L. herb, revealing an amount between 1 andlO pg/kg and an enantiomeric distribution of (i )-y-nonalactone to (S)-y-nonalactone of 34 66 using en-antio-MDGC, coupled online with MS.

Berberis vulgaris, and Hydrastis canadensis, is also active against Staphylococcus aureus, in vitro. Berberine inhibited the growth of S. aureus, with an MIC of 25.0 ig/ml [40], Sub-inhibitory concentrations of berberine were potentiated by the flavones chrysosplenol-D and chrysoplenetin. Fig. 5, from Artemisia annua. This potentiation appears to be due to the inhibition of an S. aureus multidmg resistance (MDR) pump [41]. 

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].

Japanese workers have isolated the known polyacetylenes artemisia ketone (28) and (29) from the root of the Japanese mugwort Artemisia princeps Pamp). The authors concluded that the Japanese plant was probably a different species from the European plant, Artemisia vulgaris L., since the spiro-compound (29) has not been found in the latter.
