Volatile components from aerial parts of centaurea spinosociliata seenus ssp. Cristata (Bartl.) Dostál and centaurea spinosociliata seenus ssp. spino…
2010
The paper reports on the volatile components oil from aerial parts of two Asteraceae growing wild in Croatia: Centaurea spinosociliata ssp. cristata (syn. Centaurea cristata Bartl. subsp. rabenhorstiana (Sch.Bip.) Nyman) (CSC) and C. spinosociliata ssp. spinosociliata (CSS). The volatile components were obtained by hydrodistillation from selected plants and were determined by the GC-MS system on two fused-silica capillary columns of different polarity. The oil content was 0.08 % (CSC) and 0.07 % (CSS) on a dry weight basis. Altogether 73 compounds were identified accounting for 90.8 % (CSC) and 92.8 % (CSS) of the total oil, that were characterized mainly by hydrocarbons (37.9 %; 30.4 %), s…
Chemical composition of the essential oil of the local endemics Centaurea davidovii and C. parilica (Asteraceae, sect. Lepteranthus) from Bulgaria
2014
In the present study the chemical compositions of the essential oils from aerial parts of Centaurea davidovii Urum. and C. parilica Stoj. & Stef., both endemic to Bulgaria, were evaluated by GC and GC-MS. The main components of C. davidovii were β-eudesmol (13.9%), spathulenol (13.3%), caryophyllene oxide (10.1%) and ( Z)-phytol (5.4%). The main components of C parilica were hexadecanoic acid (39.2%), ( Z, Z)-9,12-octadecadienoic acid (11.9%), caryophyllene oxide (6.8%) and spathulenol (6.6%). In order to compare the essential oils composition of these taxa and of related species a PCA analysis was carried out.
El mosaico del centauro, un eco de la antigüedad clásica en el Museo de Bellas Artes de Valencia
1992
EN EL MUSEO DE BELLAS ARTES DE VALENCIA SE CONSERVA UN MOSAICO (57 X 59 CM.) EN EL QUE SE REPRESENTA LA LUCHA ENTRE UN CENTAURO Y UN TIGRE. PROCEDE DEL LEGADO QUE DON FRANCISCO MARTINEZ BLANCH HIZO A LA REAL ACADEMIA DE SAN CARLOS DE VALENCIA EN 1835. SE TRATA DE UNA IMITACION RENACENTISTA DE UN PAVIMENTO MOSAICO DE LA VILLA DE ADRIANO EN TIVOLI, ACTUALMENTE EN EL STAATLICHE MUSEUM DE BERLIN, SI BIEN LA VERSION DE VALENCIA ELIMINA TRES DE LAS FIGURAS DEL ORIGINAL. LA MITOLOGIA GRECORROMANA PRESENTA AL CENTAURO COMO UN SER PRIMITIVO Y SALVAJE; EL SIMBOLISMO CRISTIANO LO VINCULO A LAS PASIONES DESENFRENADAS, LA VENGANZA, LA FUERZA BRUTA Y EL ADULTERIO, SIENDO LOS BESTIARIOS MEDIEVALES LOS QUE…
Sesquiterpene Lactones fromCentaurea paui
1994
Abstract A new elemanolide and two new heliangolides as well as (2R,3R)-(+)-3-hydroxy-2-methyl-butyrolactone have been isolated from Centaurea paui. The structures were elucidated by high field NMR techniques and chemical transformation.
Volatile constituents of aerial parts ofCentaurea sibthorpii(Sect. Carduiformes, Asteraceae) from Greece and their biological activity
2008
The volatile constituents of the aerial parts of Centaurea sibthorpii [Sect. Carduiformes, Asteraceae] collected in Greece were extracted by hydrodistillation and analysed by GC and GC-MS. Altogether 63 components were identified. Fatty acids and sesquiterpenoidic compounds were the most abundant components in the oil. A study on the biological activity of the oil showed no action against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria.
Volatile components from flower-heads of Centaurea nicaeensis All., C. parlatoris Helder and C. solstitialis L. ssp. schouwii (DC.) Dostál growing wi…
2008
The volatile constituents of the flowerheads of Centaurea nicaeensis All., C. parlatoris Helder and C. solstitialis L. ssp. schouwii (DC.) Dostal were extracted by hydrodistillation and analysed by GC and GC-MS. Altogether 113 components were identified. Fatty acids and hydrocarbons were the most abundant components in the oils. Caryophyllene and caryophyllene oxide were the main compounds of the sesquiterpene fraction. The study on the biological activity of the oils shows no significant activity.
Volatile components of Centaurea eryngiodes Lam. and Centaurea iberica Trev.var. hermonis Bois. Lam.,two Asteraceae growing wild in Lebanon.
2005
The volatile components of the flowerheads of Centaurea eryngioides Lam. and Centaurea iberica Trev. var. hermonis Boiss. Lam. were obtained by hydrodistillation and identified by GC and GC–MS. Altogether 91 components, mostly fatty acids and hydrocarbons, were identified.
On the circumscription and taxonomic status of Centaurea caballeroi (Compositae)
2012
Se aportan datos sobre algunos táxones del grupo de Centaurea linifolia presentes en las sierras de la Comunidad Valenciana y áreas limítrofes. Como resultado se propone reconocer en C. antennata tres subespecies, con síndromes de caracteres propios, que ocupan áreas geográficas bien delimitadas y presentan un comportamiento ecológico diferenciado. Según esto, se propone la nueva combinación C. antennata subsp. caballeroi para las poblaciones del sur de Tarragona y norte de Castellón, seleccionándose además un lectótipo. Para cada taxon aceptado se indican sus caracteres morfológicos diferenciales, distribución y ecología. Además, se aporta una clave de identificación. Data are reported on …
Flavonoids in sbtribe Centaureinae (Cass.) Dumort (tribe Carduae, Asteraceae): distibution and 13C spectral data
2012
Asteraceae Bercht. & J. Presl is one of the biggest and most economically important plant families. The taxonomy and phylogeny of Asteraceae is rather complex and according to the latest and most reliable taxonomic classification of Panero & Funk, based on the analysis of nine chloroplast regions, the family is divided into 12 subfamilies and 35 tribes. One of the largest tribes of Asteraceae is Cardueae Cass. with four subtribes (Carlininae, Echinopinae, Carduinae and Centaureinae) and more than 2500 species. Susanna & Garcia-Jacas have organized the genera of Centaureinae (about 800 species) into seven informal groups, which recent molecular studies have confirmed: 1. Basal genera; 2. Vol…

2012
Abstract This review reports the occurrence of flavonoids in subtribe Centaureinae of Asteraceae family. It extensively covers the literature up to 2010 and collects all available (13)C-NMR data.
