2012
The genus Hypericum is one of the most important medicinal plants that contain 17 species in Iran, three of them are endemics. This paper reports the essential oil composition of six Hypericum species from Iran. The essential oil analysis of a number of the studied plants has already been reported but their report from Iran may be valuable for scientists. Samples collected between June and August 2007. The composition of the essential oils from Hypericum was investigated on flower and leaf. Essential oils were obtained by hydrodistillation method and then were analyzed by GC and GC/MS.

Thirty-two compounds were identified in the essential oils of H. perfoliatum with ␣-pinene (13.1%), allo-aromadendrene (11.4%), germacrene-D (10.6%), n-octane (7.3%), ␣-selinene (6.5%) and -selinene (5.5%) as main constituents. Sixty-seven components were identified in the oil of H. tomentosum with menthone (17.0%), n-octane (9.9%), -caryophyllene (5.3%), ␣-pinene (5.2%), lauric acid (4.1%) and -pinene (3.7%) as the most abundant components. Both oils were characterized by the presence of many components which could have numerous applications in food, pharmaceutical and perfume industries.

Essential oil composition of Hypericum triquetrifolium Turra. aerial parts
The Italian journal of biochemistry
The essential oil obtained by hydrodistillation from the aerial parts of Tunisian endemic Hypericum triquetrifolium Turra (Clusiaceae) was analyzed using GC and GC-MS. One hundred and nine compounds consisting of 92.2% of total detected constituents were identified. Sesquiterpene hydrocarbons were the main constituents (59.37%), Alpha-humulene, cis-calamenene, δ-cadinene, bicyclogermacrene, eremophilene, βcaryophyllene and (E)-γ-bisabolene were found as the main ones. Alpha-pinene (10.33%) was detected as the main monoterpene hydrocarbons (12.19%). The oxygenated sesquiterpenes constituted (9.33%); caryophyllene oxide (1.38%) was reported as the main constituent of this fraction. The oxygenated monoterpenes were weakly represented (4.62%) and consisted of constituents in low percentages (<1%).
Hypericum perforatum L. (St. Johns' wort) is the most commercially important species of the genus Hypericum and contains a wide range of components including naphthodianthrones, phloroglucinols, tannins, xanthones, phenolic acids and essential oil. In the present study, for the first time the variation of the essential oil compositions among 10 wild populations of H. perforatum growing in Iran was assessed. According to the GC-FID and GC–MS analyses, a total of forty-six components were identified in 10 H. perforatum populations with relatively high variation in their composition. Among chemicals, 2,6-dimethyl-heptane (6.25–36.07%), ˛-pinene (5.56–26.03%), ı-cadinene (0.0–22.58%) and-cadinene (0.0–16.9%) were found as the most abundant compounds in their essential oils. The higher amounts of this components were identified in the oil of Azadshahr, Kharw, Nor and Mashhad populations, respectively. Cluster analysis grouped the studied populations into four different chemotypes: chemotype I (ı-cadinene/˛-humulene), chemotype II (˛-pinene), chemotype III (-cadinene) and chemotype IV (2,6-dimethyl-heptane/˛-pinene). In fact, local abiotic factors such as moisture, temperature, topography, edaphic and/or biotic selective factors (associated fauna and flora) act on loci of the terpene-biosynthesis pathways and contribute to the emergence of different chemical oil profiles. Intraspecific variation in the chemical profile of the Iranian populations provided possibility of selection of those with specific aromas or chemical profiles accompanied with biological document, being of interest at industrial level. Obtained results provided new insight for Iranian H. perforatum germplasm to be used in breeding programs and development of effective conservation strategies.

The present study reports the chemical composition and antioxidant activities of the essential oil extracted from the leaves and tender branches of Hypericum gaitii Haines (Hypericaceae) - an endemic plant of Eastern India. On hydrodistillation, the fresh leaves and tender parts of H. gaitii yielded 0.43% (v/w) of pale yellowish essential oil. Gas chromatography mass spectrometry analysis revealed the presence of 40 compounds, which represent 96.9% of the total oil. Monoterpene hydrocarbons (79.3%) predominated followed by sesquiterpene hydrocarbons (12.6%). Of these, α-pinene (69.5%), β-caryophyllene (10.5%), sabinene (5.6%), myrcene (3.0%) and geranyl acetate (2.0%) were the main constituents. Antioxidant activities of oil were evaluated by three different systems namely 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), 2,2-azinobis-3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid (ABTS) and reducing power assay. Essential oil exhibited moderate antioxidant activities compared to butylated hydroxytolue...
Essential Oil Composition of Hypericum perforatum L. from Cultivated Source
Journal of Essential Oil Research, 2011
Hypericum perforatum L. (Hypericaceae) is the most commercially important species within the genus Hypericum. A wild strain was cultivated at Pothiwasa (2200 m), Uttarakhand, India. Aerial parts were collected (the upper two-thirds) during the flowering phenophase and used to extract the essential oil by means of a Clevenger-type apparatus. Forty compounds constituting 91.0% of the total volatile oil were identified using GC-FID and GC/MS analysis. The major constituent of the essential oil was germacrene D (22.1%), whereas other important constituents were found to be b-caryophyllene (11.3%), a-pinene (8.6%), a-cadinol (4.4%), b-pinene (3.8%), 2-methyl-octane (3.7%), terpinen-4-ol (3.3%), caryophyllene oxide (3.3%), a-muurolol (2.9%) and spathulenol (2.8%). The chemical composition of the oil varied qualitatively and quantitatively as compared to previous investigations. The peculiarity of the oil composition from the sample investigated in this paper may be attributed to environmental factors, such as soil nutrient status and growth environment, as well as to the genetic features of the cultivated strain.
