An analysis of the chemical composition of four essential oils from Italian populations of Artemisia alba Turra (collected in Sicily, Marche and Abruzzo) was investigated. In this paper an in depth study of the significant differences observed in the composition of these oils is reported.

Bertol. subsp. meoides (Desf.) Fiori afforded several known diterpenoids as well as meoidic acid , new in the literature. The cytotoxic activities of elasclepic acid (1), ent-atis-16-en-19-oic acid (2), ent-beyer-15-en-19-oic acid (3), ent-kaur-16-en-19-oic acid (4) and meoidic acid (5) were investigated on rat glioma C6 cells by evaluation of cell growth inhibition.
