what do you know about the extraction of chemical composition of eupatorium odoratum(christmas bush)?

this is to know the alkaloid contents of the plant

Chemical constituents of aroma compounds from three local herbs; Sab Sua (Eupatorium odoratum Linn.), Som Poy (Acacia concinna (willd.) DC.), and Ma Kwaen (Zanthoxylum limonella Alst.), can be performed by extraction of essential oils using direct steam distillation. The chemical composition were analysed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Major constituents of volatile essential oils found in these herbs were terpene hybrocarbons (mono- and sesquiterpenes) and oxygenated terpenes. Geijerene, calarene and d-cadinene were identified to be major constituents in essential oils from Sab Sua. Predominent compounds in Som Poy are palmitic acid, furfural and 5-methyl-2-furfural. It was also found that limonene, (-phellandrene and 2-undecanone were present as major constituents in the essential oils of Ma Kwaen.

Eupatorium odoratum
Siam weed

Member of the Compositae. Genus has 1200 spp. Medicinal uses. Report on use as leaf meal for chickens. Low availability of amino acids

Close on the heels of a series of animal deaths in the famous Nanadankanan zoo near Bhubaneswar in August, now comes the news of a deadly weed which is choking the growth of trees and depriving herbivores of their feed in the state’s jungles.

“Thousands of square kilometres of forest areas, home to sal, teak and piasal trees, face a serious threat from deadly Eupatorium weed (eupatorium odoratum),” said Biswajit Mohanty, secretary, Wildlife Society of Orissa.

This weed, a fast growing pernicious plant with tiny flowers, has spread across almost all the major forests in the state.

Most of the wildlife sanctuaries, including the famous Simlipal Tiger Reserve, too have reported the presence of Eupatorium. The Chandaka Elephant Sanctuary has been infested with a heavy growth of this weed, depriving elephants of their feed.

Elephants love to graze on small tender leaves, but Eupatorium chokes the growth of such vegetation.

Mohanty warned that if nothing was done urgently to control the growth of Eupatorium, it could lead to an ecological disaster.

“The state government has yet to wake up to the danger posed by the rampant proliferation of this weed,” he said.

There is conclusive evidence that Eupatorium, originally from South America, made its way into the state from Assam and West Bengal sometime in the late sixties.

“Urgent steps have to be taken to address this problem before we lose more forests to this weed. In West Bengal, there has been a failure of timber plantations due to the rapid proliferation of this weed which stunts the growth of saplings.” Nayak added.

WSO has suggested a massive eradication programme be undertaken. “Quick action is needed before more forest areas and wildlife habitats are lost to this weed,” Mohanty said.

The eradication programme would need the involvement of tribals, who would be the first and the worst hit if Eupatorium were allowed a free run.

Plants belonging to the Eupatorium species, E. japonicum Thunb, E. fortunei and
E. chinense, were found to contain very low concentrations of pyrrolizidine
alkaloid compared with a known hepatotoxic Indian herbal mixture and Crotalaria
assamica. High concentrations of pyrrolic metabolite were detected in livers of
mice given a single oral dose of extracts of Indian herbal mixture or C.
assamica but not in the case of the Eupatorium species. Also, accumulation of
pyrrole metabolites was not demonstrated with chronic administration of
decoctions prepared from herbs of the Eupatorium species.

Plants popularly used in Guatemala for the treatment of gonorrhoea were
macerated in 50% alcohol and the tincture tested for in vitro activity against
Neisseria gonorrhoeae using strains isolated from symptomatic patients and
confirmed by standard bacteriological procedures. From 46 plants investigated,
13 (28.3%) showed evident inhibition zones (> 9 mm), seven (15.2%) showed small
activity (6.1- 8.9 mm) and 26 (56.5%) showed no activity; nine of these plants
inhibited five strains of N. gonorrhoea freshly isolated. The most active plants
of American origin were: bark of Bixa orellana fruits of Parmentiera edulis,
leaf of Diphysa robinioides, Eupatorium odoratum, Gliricidia sepium, Physalis
angulata, Piper aduncum and Prosopis juliflora, root of Casimiroa edulis, and
whole Clematis dioica.
