Abstract

The genus Pimpinella L. (Apiaceae) is widely distributed across the Northern Hemisphere. Pimpinella peregrina L., native to the Mediterranean region and extending to Central Asia, has been underexplored in terms of its chemical composition. In this study the essential oils from the flowers and stems of a Sicilian accession of P. peregrina were analysed using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The essential oil from the flowers (Ppf) was found to be rich in sesquiterpene hydrocarbons (75.06%), with α-bergamotene as the main component (67.85%). In the essential oil from the stems (Pps), substantial amounts of α-bergamotene (41.90%) and α-bisabolol (15.08%) were detected. Both essential oils were tested to evaluate their antimicrobial and antioxidant activities. Ppf showed higher antimicrobial activity, in particular against Bacillus subtilis, with a MIC value of 0.25 mg/mL. These findings provide new insights into the chemical profile of Sicilian P. peregrina, highlighting potential applications of its essential oils.

期刊介绍： The aim of Natural Product Research is to publish important contributions in the field of natural product chemistry. The journal covers all aspects of research in the chemistry and biochemistry of naturally occurring compounds. The communications include coverage of work on natural substances of land and sea and of plants, microbes and animals. Discussions of structure elucidation, synthesis and experimental biosynthesis of natural products as well as developments of methods in these areas are welcomed in the journal. Finally, research papers in fields on the chemistry-biology boundary, eg. fermentation chemistry, plant tissue culture investigations etc., are accepted into the journal. Natural Product Research issues will be subtitled either ""Part A - Synthesis and Structure"" or ""Part B - Bioactive Natural Products"". for details on this , see the forthcoming articles section. All manuscript submissions are subject to initial appraisal by the Editor, and, if found suitable for further consideration, to peer review by independent, anonymous expert referees. All peer review is single blind and submission is online via ScholarOne Manuscripts.
