ABSTRACT. The essential oil composition of flowering aerial parts of Haplophyllum buhsei Boiss. (Rutaceae)
from Iran was analyzed for the first time using gas chromatography (GC) and gas chromatography–mass
spectrometry (GC–MS). Thirty six compounds comprising 92.2% of the total oil were characterized. The main
components were -caryophyllene (12.9%), limonene (9.7%), -pinene (7.9%), linalool (7.4%), α-pinene (6.4%)
and 1,8-cineole (5.5%). Volatile oil of Haplophyllum buhsei Boiss. flowering aerial parts was dominated by the
high content of monoterpene hydrocarbons (39.2%) and oxygenated monoterpenes (23.2%).
KEY WORDS: Haplophyllum buhsei Boiss., Rutaceae, Essential oil, -Caryophyllene, Limonene
INTRODUCTION
The genus Haplophyllum A. Juss. belongs to Rutaceae family and encompasses approximately
70 species which mainly distributed around the Mediterranean region of Europe and through
western Asia up to Siberia [1, 2]. Eighteen species of Haplophyllum A. Juss. genus are found in
Iran which among them nine species are endemic and Haplophyllum buhsei Boiss. is one of
them [3].
Plants of Haplophyllum A. Juss. genus have long been used in folk medicine for toothache,
stomach and skin diseases, and in the treatment of some types of cancer. The extracts of some
Haplophyllum species exhibit cytotoxic activity [4]. This genus has been shown to possess
alkaloids, lignans, flavonoids, coumarins and essential oils with important biological properties
[5].
A thorough literature review revealed that volatile constituents of many species of the genus
Haplophyllum A. Juss. have been widely investigated in various regions from all over the world
[6-17] but to the best of our knowledge, there was no report on Haplophyllum buhsei Boiss. and
in this article essential oil composition of this endemic species is informed for the first time.
EXPERIMENTAL
Plant material. Flowering aerial parts of Haplophyllum buhsei Boiss. were collected in May
2013 from Dalahu mountain (Dalahu County, Kermanshah Province, Iran).
Essential Oil Isolation. The air-dried crushed flowering aerial parts of Haplophyllum buhsei
Boiss. were subjected to hydrodistillation using a Clevenger-type apparatus for 4 hour. The
obtained essential oil was dried over anhydrous sodium sulphate and stored at 4-6 oC.

GC and GCMS analyses. Chemical composition of the volatile oil was investigated by gas
chromatography (GC) and gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC–MS). Haplophyllum
buhsei Boiss. oil was analyzed by GC–MS using a Hewlett-Packard 6890 gas chromatograph
with DB-5 capillary column (30 m х 0.25 mm; film thickness 0.25 μm). The carrier gas was
helium with a flow rate of l mL/min. The column temperature was programmed from 60 oC to
220 oC at 6 oC/min. The gas chromatograph was coupled to a Hewlett-Packard 5973 mass
selective detector. The MS was operated at 70 eV ionization energy. The retention indices were
calculated by using retention times of n-alkanes that were injected after the essential oil at the
same conditions. The components were identified by comparison of retention indices with those
reported in the literatures and also by comparison of their mass spectra with the published mass
spectra or Wiley library [18, 19]. Gas chromatography using flame ionization detection (GC–
FID) analysis was carried out under the same experimental conditions with the same column as
described for the GC–MS. The relative percentage of the identified compounds was computed
from the GC peak area without applying correction factors.
RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
The dried flowering aerial parts of Haplophyllum buhsei Boiss. yielded 0.35% V/W of a pale
yellow volatile oil. Thirty six compounds comprising 92.2% of the total oil were detected which
are presented in Table 1.
Essential oil of Haplophyllum buhsei Boiss. flowering aerial parts was characterized by the high
amount of monoterpene hydrocarbons (39.2%) with limonene (9.7%), -pinene (7.9%), α-
pinene (6.4%), sabinene (4.6%) and myrcene (3.8%) as main components. Oxygenated
monoterpenes represented 23.2% of the volatile oil which dominated by linalool (7.4%) and 1,8-
cineole (5.5%). The sesquiterpene hydrocarbons fraction comprised 22.8% of the oil with -
caryophyllene (12.9%) as the abundant constituent. Oxygenated sesquiterpenes came up to 6.5%
and caryophyllene oxide (3.5%) constituted the major ingredient of this fraction.
Essential oil compositions of numerous species of Haplophyllum A. Juss. genus were previously
reported which depend on many factors such as genetic, geographic distribution, phenological
cycle, seasonal variation, plant organ and analytical method used. Volatile compounds that have
been most commonly reported from Haplophyllum species contain monoterpenoids (e.g.
linalool, α-pinene, -pinene, limonene, α-phellandrene, -phellandrene, α-terpineol, sabinene,
1,8-cineole and myrcene) and sesquiterpenoids (e.g. -caryophyllene, α-humulene, elemol,
caryophyllene oxide and -eudesmol) as the principle constituents in the most of them [6-17].
Regarding to our literature survey, there was no research on essential oil composition of
Haplophyllum buhsei Boiss. and this study describes volatile oil isolation and identification of
this endemic species for the first time.

Herein, a comprehensive review is given focusing on the chemical profiles of the essential oils (EOs), non-volatile compounds, ethnobotany, and biological activities of different Haplophyllum (Rutaceae family) species. To gather the relevant data, all the scientific databases, including Scopus, ISI-WOS (Institute of Scientific Information-Web of Science), and PubMed and highly esteemed publishers such as Elsevier, Springer, Taylor and Francis, etc., were systematically retrieved and reviewed. A wide array of valuable groups of natural compounds, e.g., terpenoids, coumarins, alkaloids, lignans, flavonoids, and organic acids have been isolated and subsequently characterized in different organic extracts of a number of Haplophyllum species. In addition, some remarkable antimicrobial, antifungal, anti-inflammatory, anticancer, cytotoxic, antileishmanial, and antialgal effects as well as promising remedial therapeutic properties have been well-documented for some species of the genus Haplophyllum.
... The chemical composition of the roots EO of C. adenocaule showed slight differences from those identified in the leaves of the plant. This is due to the fact that the composition of plant EOs collected from different parts varies with the age of the plant, type of soil, experimental conditions and genetic differences [35]. To the best of our knowledge, the chemical composition and biological activities of EOs from C. adenocaule are reported herein for the first time. ...

In the present work, the chemical composition, antibacterial and antioxidant potencies of essential oils (EOs) extracted from the leaves and roots of Cyphostemma adenocaule and Ziziphus spinachristi were evaluated. Hydrodistillation was used to extract the EOs and the chemical compositions were analyzed by GC-MS. The antibacterial activity of the EOs were evaluated against four bacterial strains by agar disc diffusion method. Moreover, the antioxidant properties were evaluated by 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging assay method. Perillyl alcohol (13.08%) and phytone (12.64%) were the major compounds detected in the leaves and roots of Cyphostemma adenocaule respectively. Whereas, nootkatone was the principal compound detected in the leaves (30.12%) and roots (26.52%) of Ziziphus spinachristi. The antibacterial activity results showed that, the EOs of Cyphostemma adenocaule and Ziziphus spinachristi displayed the highest inhibition zones against Streptococcus pyogenes (13.67 ± 0.34 and 12.67 ± 0.10 mm respectively) at 10 mg/mL. The antioxidant activity of the EOs were also promising, and the strongest IC50 value (4.15 µg/mL) was calculated for Ziziphus spinachristi (leaves). Thus, the antibacterial and antioxidant properties of the EOs enlighten the use of these plants for the aforementioned activities and as a common ingredients in cosmetic applications.

In this article identifies new sources of obtaining biological substances from plants of the genus Atraphaxis (A. spinosa) prepared in the Almaty region. According to well - known methods, the analysis of indicators and standards of raw material quality-humidity, total ash, sulphate ash, insoluble ash in 10% hydrochloric acid-was developed and carried out. Micro- and macroelements determined by atomic absorption spectroscopy. Analysis of the elemental composition shows that iron predominates from microelements, and sodium, potassium and calcium from macronutrients. Conditions for obtaining a biologically active complex from the aboveground part of Atraphaxis spinosa developed for the first time. The optimal conditions for obtaining the complex are extractant – 50% ethanol, the ratio of extractant and raw materials – 1:8, double extraction time – 48 hours, temperature – 22 - 26 °C. The lipophilic composition identified by chromatography-mass spectroscopy. Since lipophilic fractions of plant samples include such classes of compounds as fatty acids; mono-; di-; triglycerides, phospholipids, sterols, Sterol esters, glycolipids, fat-soluble vitamins, they can considered not only as nutritional products, but also as possible pharmacological agents. The content of lipophilic components – 26 organic compounds-was determined. It found that A. spinosa contains a large amount of di - (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (54.66%) and β-sitosterol (13.11%). A complex study of plant resources as medicinal raw materials provides for the chemical study of biologically active substances and biological screening of extracts and individual compounds obtained from plants. In most cases, the extract showed a wide range of antibacterial activity against the used strains of microorganisms.

Volatile components of Haplophyllum canaliculatum Boiss. grown in Iran were extracted by hydrodistillation (HD), solvent-free microwave extraction (SFME), and headspace solid-phase microextraction (HS-SPME). The components were analyzed by means of GC and GC-MS. The extraction time and temperature for HS-SPME, microwave, power, and exposure time of extraction for SFME were optimized. Twenty-five compounds that represent 99.88% of total compounds in the oil were obtained by the HD method, and the major components for this method were identified as β-pinene (18.90%), 1,8-cineole (13.94%), and piperitone (12.22%). However, piperitone (34.50%), caryophyllene oxide (9.94%), and a-eudesmol were the main compounds among twenty-one constituents, representing 99.89% of the total composition that were characterized in volatiles extracted by the SFME method. Moreover, thirteen compounds, representing 99.95% of the total constituents, were characterized in volatile fraction extracted by the HS-SPME method, which were dominated by β-pinene (21.13%), a-pinene (13.07%), limonene (11.65%), and δ-2-carene (10.23%) as major constituents.

Haplophyllum virgatum var virgatum (Rutaceae) is a rare or narrow endemic plant, which grows only in one habitat (Geno-Hormozgan Province-Iran). Low distribution of this useful medicinal plant encouraged us to investigate the micropropagation conditions of the plant. In the present study, an efficient and reproducible protocol for multiple shoot induction of Haplophyllum virgatum var. virgatum was developed. Various explants (stem, leaf and root) were obtained from 40 day-old axenic seedlings and cultured on B5 medium supplemented with different concentrations of plant growth regulators (Kin, BA, NAA and IAA) to determine the suitable explants and media composition for callus production. BA and Kin were used for multiple shoot induction. Stem explants showed the best results in both callus induction and shoot regeneration. Combination of 0.1 mg L-1 Kin and 5 mg L-1 IAA produced the maximum callus fresh weight. BA at concentration of 2 mg L-1 was the best treatment for shoot induction and regeneration. Also, embryogenic callus was observed and the stages of globular and heart embryos were seen on callus culture in B5 medium supplemented with Kin (0.2 mg L-1) + IAA (1 mg L-1). In conclusion, stem explants and 2 mg L-1 BA regenerated maximum number of shoots.

Basil (Ocimum basilicum L.) essential oil (BEO) draws attention for its phenolic acid content which causes it to be used as a medicinal agent and food additive. However, its vulnerability to environmental and technological factors can be an obstacle to its implementation in industry and, at this point, encapsulation technology is utilized. The objective of this study was to encapsulate BEO using a spray drying technique to extend its shelf life, and to evaluate the influence of different wall material formulations on the properties of the BEO microcapsules. Gum Arabic (GA), maltodextrin (MD), and whey protein isolate (WPI) were used as wall materials and four different formulations were studied: GA, GA:WPI (1:1, w/w), GA:WPI:MD (1:1:1, w/w), and WPI:MD (1:1, w/w). The GA, GA:WPI, and GA:WPI:MD emulsions displayed shear thinning behavior (pseudoplastic, n < 1) while the WPI:MD emulsion behaved as a Newtonian fluid (n = 1). The GA (0.21 µm) and WPI:MD (0.25 µm) emulsions, having smaller droplets, exhibited no creaming. Powder recovery values of the BEO microcapsules ranged from 65.92% to 76.39%. The encapsulation efficiency of the microcapsules varied between 82.34% and 87.19%; the highest value was determined for the GA:WPI:MD microcapsules. Optimal thermal stability and higher T g values were obtained for the GA:WPI and GA:WPI:MD formulations. The ternary combination also had the highest in vitro eugenol release (58.97%) in ethanol. Finally, the GA:WPI:MD formulation demonstrated a high product yield and encapsulation efficiency with better physicochemical properties for encapsulation of BEO.

One of the priority areas of life safety and environmental protection is the creation of modified fire and explosion-suppressing powder compositions using man-made waste from various industries. Their use makes it possible to reuse substandard (expired) fire extinguishing compositions, possibly as substances that slow down the processes of explosion and combustion of materials. Fire and explosion-suppressing powders at the end of the shelf life must be regenerated or disposed of. For the regeneration procedure, i.e. restoration of the fire-extinguishing properties of the powder, it is sent to the manufacturing plant to restore its properties and characteristics. This allows you to modify the properties of the powder and produce an improved product. At the same time, a significant contribution is made to the development of a system for the rational use of natural resources, disposal of production waste, preservation of the ecological situation in the area, as well as prevention of emergencies and emergencies at industrial dumps. Comprehensive and rational use of secondary material and raw materials and wastes of various industries should take a certain place in the raw material balance of industry and in the prevention of emergencies.

In the work, a chemical analysis of humic substances based on oxidized coal of the Maikuben basin (Kazakhstan) is carried out. Humic acids were obtained on the basis of potassium humates by acidification with a 20% acid solution to pH = 3-4.5. The optimal conditions for obtaining nitrohumic acids from oxidized coals are: the duration of the process is 3 hours, the ratio of S:L = 1:5, the content of nitric acid is 64%, sulfuric acid is 96% and the composition of the nitrating mixture is 1:1 (g/g). Amminohumic derivatives were obtained in the presence of a 3% aqueous solution of ammonia using mechanical activation and ultrasonic treatment. The samples obtained were tested as an adsorbent for water purification from heavy metals. Humic acids and aminohumate showed the highest degrees of purification for zinc (99.0-100.0%) and cadmium (80.0-96.7%), and nitrohumic acid showed a high adsorption capacity for heavy metals like copper - 100.0 % and lead 82.9%. This is due to the fact that when interacting with heavy metals, humic acids and their derivatives (amino and nitro) form chelate complexes due to carboxyl, phenolic, nitro and amino groups. As a result of the study, the possibility of using them as non-toxic available sorbents for the purification of heavy metals in aqueous media has been shown.

Don (Rutaceae) from Iran was analyzed by gas chromatography (GC) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) for the first time. Thirty eight constituents consisting 97.3 % of the total oil were identified. The monoterpene hydrocarbons had the highest contribution. The main compounds were β-phellandrene (15.6 %), β-caryophyllene (13.1 %), linalool (11.8 %), α-pinene (7.3 %), β-pinene (6.1 %) and α-humulene (5.9 %).

The essential oils obtained by hydrodistillation of the leaves, stems, flowers and fruits of Haplophyllum robustum Bge. (Rutaceae) were analyzed by GC and GC/MS. 1,8-Cineole was the major component (19.1–45.1%) in almost all oils, except for the leaf oil which contained cis-sabinene hydrate (23.2%) as the main constituent. The composition of the oils were mostly quantitatively rather than qualitatively different. All oils consisted mainly of monoterpenes and a small percentage of non-terpenoid compounds.

The dried leaves and aerial parts of Haplophyllum glabrrimum which belongs to Rutaceae family and grows in central Iran, were hydrodistilled to produce oils in the yields of 0.08% and 0.14% (w/w), respectively. The oils were analyzed by GC and GC/MS. The amount of the samples injected were 1.0 nL (diluted 1.0 μL of sample in 1000 ml of n-pentane, v/v). Ten and sixteen bioactive, flavour and fragrance molecules were identified, representing 93.86% and 96.89% of the leaves and aerial parts oil, one by one. The main component was Myrcene (52.89%, 65.08%) in leaves and aerial parts oils, respectively.

In spite of various researches on Haplophyllum A. Juss. species essential oils, there was no report on Haplophyllum laeviusculum C. C. Towns. (Rutaceae) and in this article volatile components of this Iranian endemic species is informed for the first time. The essential oil obtained by hydrodistillation from flowering aerial parts of Haplophyllum laeviusculum C. C. Towns. was analyzed using gas chromatography (GC) and gas chromatography– mass spectrometry (GC–MS). Thirty six constituents constituting 95.7% of the total oil were detected. The major ingredients were β-Pinene (20.1%), α-Phellandrene (11.7%), β-Caryophyllene (7.6%), Myrcene (6.8%), Linalool (6.1%) and Limonene (5.6%). The volatile oil of Haplophyllum laeviusculum C. C. Towns. flowering aerial parts was characterized by high amounts of monoterpene hydrocarbons (56.3%). © 2014, Journal of Chemical and Pharmaceutical Research. All rights reserved.

The essential oils from the fruits and the aerial parts of Haplophyllum linifolium harvested in 1994 and 1997 were isolated by hydrodistillation, fractionated by dry column chromatography, and analyzed by GC and GC/MS. The GC of the fruits exhibited 68 peaks from which 50 substances were structurally identified by MS and RI-values, which correspond to 98.8% and 98.2% of the oils, respectively. The main components of these oils were β-phellandrene (25.5% and 35.5%) and β-pinene (23.7% and 21.2%), but the more interesting characteristic is the presence of 4.6% and 2.9% bornyl formate, respectively, a compound rarely found in essential oils. The oil of the aerial parts of the plant exhibited a very similar oil composition differing only in the percentual proportions. β-Phellandrene and β-pinene were the dominating constituents of the herb oils representing 42.6% (30.4%) and 19.8% (22.4%), respectively. Bornyl formate amounted to 2.5% in 1994 and 4.0% in 1997.

We have investigated the chemical composition of the epigeal part of this plant growing on the Ustyurt plateau. The dry com~ninuted raw material (3 kg) was extracted with methanol. Theevaporated methanolic extract was treated with chloroform. The chloroform solution was shaken with 5% sulfuric acid. The total alkaloids (0.15% on the weight of the dry epigeal part) were obtained from the acid solution in the usual way and their chromatography on silica gel gave robustine (0.05 g), mp 148-149°C (ethanol), dictamnine (0.i g), mp 132-133°C (acetone), skimmianine (0.18 g), mp 175-176°C (methanol), haplopine (0.12 g), mp 203-204°C (methanol), evodine (0.87 g), mp 152-153°C (acetone), methylevoxine (0.5 g), mp I05-I06°C (ether), and evoxine (2.16 g), mp 154-155°C (methanol). The repeated crystallization of the methylevoxine from ether raised its melting point by 20°C [8]. All the substances were identified with authentic samples isolated from other plants of the Haplophyll~ genus [9]. The neutral fraction remaining after the chloroform treatment of the acid solution, when chromatographed on silica gel, yielded two substances: CIOH804 (I), mp 204-205°C (acetone), and CliH1004 (II), mp 143-1450C (water). Both components gave the blue fluorescence in UV light that is characteristic for coumarins. The results of a study of their IR, UV, and mass spectra enabled substance (I) to be identified as 7-hydroxy-6-methoxycoumarine (scopoletin) and~substance (II) as 6,7-dimethoxycoumarin (scoparone) [i0]. The PMR spectrum of (II) was identical with that described for scoparone in [Ii]. Chromatography on silica gel of the polar fraction obtained after the treatment of the methanolic extract with chloroform gave a substance with the composition C12H22OII, mp 190-191°C, [~]D 28 + 65.2 ° (c 1.05; water) which was found to be identical with an authentical sample of sucrose according to a mixed melting point and its IR spectrum.
