In this study, changes in the volatile compounds of Artemisia capillaris essential oil were investigated under six different storage conditions for 6 months. The essential oil was collected by steam distillation and analyzed by a gas chromatography-mass selective detector (GC-MSD). Seventy-five volatile compounds were identified from the fresh essential oil of Artemisia capillaris. During storage, the total levels of aldehydes, alcohols, and ketones slightly decreased and the level of hydrocarbons greatly decreased; the total level of esters also decreased in the essential oil. Notably, the levels of carvacrol, eugenol, myrcene, 1,8-cineole, caryophyllene, coumarin, ${\alpha}-thujone$, ${\beta}-thujone$, borneol, and ${\gamma}-terpinene$, known as antioxidants and antimicrobial agents, decreased during storage. Finally, aerobic storage conditions caused greater reductions in some compounds even at low temperatures.

Objective : The aim of this work is to investigate the antibacterial activity of the essential oil obtained from Artemisia capillaris (A. capillaris), as the development of microbial resistance to antibiotics make it necessary to constantly look for new and active compounds effective against pathogenic bacteria. Methods : The crushed materials of A. capillaris (1 kg) were subjected to steam distillation for 3 h, using a modified Clevenger type apparatus in order to obtain essential oil. Diethyl ether was the extracting solvent kept at 25°.... The essential oil was analyzed by gas chromatography (GC) and gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS). The essential oil and the composition were tested for antimicrobial activities against 15 different genera of oral bacteria. Results and Conclusion : The components of the essential oil identified were: β-pinene (9.36%), camphor (3.32%), 1,8­cineole (4.38%), artemisia alcohol (3.32%), β-caryophyllene (11.08%), γ-cadinene (4.23%), and capillene (32.74%). The essential oil of A. capillaris exhibited considerable inhibitory effects against all oral bacteria tested, while their major components demonstrated various degrees of growth inhibition.

This expriment was carried out to get basic information on composition and yield of aromatic constituents in leaves of four medicinal plants, Angelica tenuissima, Chrysanthemum zawadskii. ssp. latilobum, Artemisia iwayomogi and Artemisia capillaris. Volatile aromatic constituents, 28 compounds in Angelica tenuissima were identified and 19 compounds were indentified in Chrysanthemum zawadskii ssp. latilobum. Volatile aromatic constituents, 23 compounds in Artemisia iwayomogi and Artemisia capillaris were identified. Major volatile aromatic consitiuents analyzed by GC/MS in four plants were $\alpha$-pinene, camphene, sabinene, cis-2-hexanol, and camphor etc. Content of essential oils in Angelica tenuissima, Chrysanthemum zawadskii ssp. latilobum, Artemisia iwayomogi and Artemisia capillaris were 0.014, 0.275, 0.785, and 0.452%, respectively. As a result, it was suggested that a medicinal plant, Artemisia iwayomogi, was worthy of using as a useful material of perfume.

국내에서 자생하고 있는 더위지기와 사철쑥의 정유성분 조성의 차이점을 비교하기 위하여 각 시료로부터 수증기증류에 의해 정유를 분리한 다음 GC-MS 분석결과 및 문헌에 보고된 각 성분의 retention index 비교에 의해 성분을 동정하였다. 국내의 2개 지역에서 수집한 더위지기에서 분리한 정유에서 60종의 성분을 동정하였으며, 그중 한 시료에서는 iso-pinocamphone(31.64%), 1,8-cineole(21.55%), ${\beta}-pinene$(4.46%), pinocarvone(3.72%), myrtenal(3.42%) 및 trans-pinocarvel(3.14%)이 주요 구성성분이었으나 다른 시료에서는 camphor(26.99%), 1,8-cineole(11.02%), ${\alpha}-terpineol$(7.63%), borneol(4.10%), camphene(3.97%) 및 artemisia ketone(3.84%)이 주요 구성성분이었다. 또한 2개 지역에서 수집한 사철쑥에서는 80종의 성분을 동정하였으며, 두 시료간에 구성성분이나 성분별 조성비율은 유사한 편이었으나 그 중에서도 capillene$(26.01{\sim}30.31%)$, ${\beta}-pinene(8.55{\sim}18.38%)$, ${\beta}-caryophyllene(8.80{\sim}13.70%)$, $cis,trans- {\alpha}-farnesene(2.10{\sim}7.38%)$, ${\beta}-himachalene(1.57{\sim}5.57%)$ 및 germacrene D$(2.27{\sim}5.46%)$가 주요 구성성분이었다. 더위지기와 사철쑥의 정유 성분 조성상의 뚜렷한 차이점으로서 더위지기의 정유에서는 사철쑥에서 검출되지 않은 iso-pinocamphone 또는 camphor, 1,8-cineole과 같은 monoterpenoid 화합물의 함유비율이 높은 반면 사철쑥에서는 더위지기에서 검출되지 않은 acetylene화합물인 capillene 이외에도 sesquiterpenoid 화합물의 함유비율이 높은 것이 특징이었다.

사철쑥에 함유되어 있는 천연 화학물질이 다른 식물에 미치는 효과를 구명하기 위하여 실험식물의 종자발아와 생장실험을 수행하고 사철쑥의 화학성분을 분석했으며, 그 성분과 동일한 시약으로 생물학적 정량을 실시하였다. 사철쑥의 수용추출액에 의한 발아율은 실새풀, 이고들빼기와 왕고들빼기는 수용추출액의 농도가 증가함에 따라 비례적으로 감소했으나, 그러나 코스모스와 익모초는 70% 실험구와 100%, 10%구와 30%에서 서로 반대로 나타났다. 유식물의 건중량은 추출액의 농도가 증가함에 따라 감소현상이 뚜렷하였다. 사철쑥의 정유의 농도에 따라 쑥과 질경이는 정유농도가 증가함에 따라 생장은 억제되었고 유근보다 유묘에서 더욱 확실하였다. GC로 사철쑥의 정유를 분석하여 36종류의 화학물질을 분리확인하였고 이들중 7종류를 선정하여 생물학적 정량을 실시한 결과 terpinen-4-ol이 가장 강한 억제작용이 있었다.

Plant essential oils are used in products such as fragrances and cosmetics due to their individual aromatic characteristics. Currently, essential oils are not only used in cosmetics but also in pharmaceutical products with anti-bacterial, anti-viral, anti-fungal, anti-parasitic, insecticidal, anti-cancer, neuroprotective, psychophysiological, or anti-aging effects. Despite their pharmaceutical properties, some studies reported cytotoxic effects in high doses. Therefore, for pharmaceutical purposes, the margin of safety of essential oils needs to be examined. Herein, we evaluated the IC₅₀ of 10 essential oil from Korean native plants: Juniperus chinensis L. var. sargentii Henry, Citrus natsudaidai Hayata, Citrus reticulata Blanco, Citrus unshiu (Yu. Tanaka ex Swingle) Marcow, Artemisia capillaris Thunb, Aster glehnii F. Schmidt, Juniperus chinensis L, Zanthoxylum schinifolium Siebold & Zucc, Zanthoxylum piperitum (L.) D, and Cinnamomum loureirii. In addition, gene regulation of the cell-cycle gene and apoptosis marker CASP3 was examined at the IC₅₀ level. The purpose of this study was to describe the toxic concentrations of essential oils extracted from Korean native plants, thereby providing toxic concentration guidelines for inclusion in a toxicity database and in the application of plant essential oils in various fields.
