Medicinal and pesticidal potentials of the constituents of the essential oil from Adenia cissampeloides leaves / Modupe Ogunlesi, Wesley Okiei, Edith Ofor, Anthony Eniola.
Sažetak

Adenia cissampeloides (Planch. ex Hook.) Harms is used in alternative medicine primarily for the management of hypertension and several other diseases. Isolation and GC-MS analysis of five essential oils collected fractionally and over 4 h by hydrodistillation from the dried leaves were carried out. The constituents included phytol, α-linolenic acid, n-hexadecanoic acid, hexahydrofarnesyl acetone, (13S)-8,13-epoxy-labd-14-ene, kaur-16-ene, guaiol, α-gurjunene, and α-elemene. Several bioactivities of the constituents as well as their potential applications in medicine and the pharmaceutical and pesticidal industries are discussed. Essential oils from some other plants have several constituents in common with those isolated from A. cissampeloides. The bioactivities of such plants are used to suggest other possible applications of A. cissampeloides.; Adenia cissampeloides (Panch. ex. Hook.) Harms je biljka koja se u alternativnoj medicini primarno upotrebljava za ublažavanje hipertenzije i nekoliko drugih bolesti. Provedena je izolacija i GC-MS analiza pet esencijalnih ulja frakcijski izdvojenih za vrijeme hidrodestilacije osušenog lišća koja je trajala preko četiri sata. Ulja su sadržavala fitol, α-linolensku kiselinu, n-heksadekanoičnu kiselinu, heksahidrofarnezil aceton, (13S)-8,13-epoksi-labd-14-en, kaur-16-en, gvajol, α-gurjunen i α-elemen. Provedena je rasprava i o nekoliko različitih bioaktivnosti sastojaka kao i o njihovoj potencijalnoj primjeni u medicini, farmaciji i industriji pesticida. Sastojci izolirani iz A. cissampeloides postoje i u esencijalnim uljima nekih drugih biljaka. Bioaktivnosti takvih biljaka upućuju na to da postoje i druge moguće primjene A. cissampeloides.
