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.

研究了意大利西西里岛（Sicilian）产品Pimpinella peregrina L.精油的化学成分和生物学特性。

凤梨属（Apiaceae）广泛分布于北半球。Pimpinella peregrina L.原产于地中海地区并向中亚延伸，其化学成分尚未得到充分的研究。本研究采用气相色谱-质谱联用技术（GC-MS）分析了一种西西里产的白菖蒲花和茎的精油成分。结果表明，花精油中含有丰富的倍半萜类化合物（75.06%），主要成分为α-佛手柑烯（67.85%）。在其茎部挥发油（Pps）中，检测到大量α-佛手柑素（41.90%）和α-双abolol（15.08%）。对两种精油进行了抗菌和抗氧化活性测试。Ppf对枯草芽孢杆菌具有较高的抑菌活性，其MIC值为0.25 mg/mL。这些发现提供了新的见解，以了解西西里的P. peregrina的化学特征，突出其精油的潜在应用。

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.
