        1 - A systematic review on the ethnobotany, essential oils, bioactive compounds, and biological activities of Tanacetum species
        Majid Mohammadhosseini Magdalena Jeszka-Skowron
        This review paper was designed in order to compile the chemical profiles of the essential oils (EOs) of a wide spectrum of Tanacetum species as well as to unify the data available in the literature concerning different aspects of this genus in ethnobotany of different c More
        This review paper was designed in order to compile the chemical profiles of the essential oils (EOs) of a wide spectrum of Tanacetum species as well as to unify the data available in the literature concerning different aspects of this genus in ethnobotany of different countries worldwide. Biological activities and other bioactive compounds were presented, as well. In this regard, the literature and reliable scientific databases involving Scopus, Pubmed as well as all of the famous publishers involving Elsevier, Springer, Taylor and Francis, etc were systematically reviewed. As shown in this review, a variety of promising ethnobotanical and biological activities and properties have been reported for different species of this genus so far. In addition, a number of valuable bioactive compounds have been separated and characterizedin different Tanacetum species Manuscript profile

        This study deals with the investigation of the efficacy of solvent free microwave extraction (SFME) method to extract the essential oils from the aerial parts of Malva neglecta Wallr.. The essential oils were then injected onto an HP-5MS column of a commercially available GC/MS (Hewlett-Packard 5973), which resulted in a chromatogram consisting of 24 compounds accounting for 99.9% of the oil composition. In terms of general categories, non-terpene hydrocarbons and sesquiterpene hydrocarbons were found to be the major fractions of the chemical profiles. Moreover, hinokione was recognized as the most abundant constituent component of the essential oil comprising 40.7% of the total oil structure. Regarding our findings in this study, the SFME can be introduced as a rapid, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly extraction method for the separation of the essential oils.

        The genus Micromeria Benth. from the family Lamiaceae mainly comprises herbaceous plants having several remarkable ethnobotanical, biological and phytochemical applications. This review critically appraises all the information available in the literature, e.g., Scopus, Institute for Scientific Information-Web of Science (ISI-WOS) as well as Medline on various species of this genus covering aspects of biological activity, ethnobotanical, chemical taxonomy and phytochemistry. The phytochemical composition of both essential oils and non-volatile extracts is reported. Their chemotaxonomic implications and ethnomedicinal impacts are also discussed. The pharmacological properties of crude extracts and isolated phytochemicals from Mircomeria spp. observed in several bioactivity tests are also critically reviewed. From phytochemical point of view, the characterization of the organic extracts of different Mircomeria spp. has led to the identification of some valuable natural compounds. Furthermore, the chemical profiles of most of the species are dominated by oxygenated monoterpenes. A wide spectrum of promising biological properties have been attributed to Mircomeria species including antibacterial, antifungal, antioxidant, anticholinesterase, tyrosinase inhibition and antinociceptive activities. Moreover, it has been shown that rosmarinic acid serves as a marker compound in several entities of this genus. Manuscript profile
