Investigation of the essential oil of the aerial parts of Eryngium maritimum L. from Corsica led to the isolation of one known sesquiterpene (1) and three new oxygenated sesquiterpenes with a muurolane or cadinane skeleton (2-4). Structure assignments of 4 βH -muurol-9-en-15-al (1), 4 βH -cadin-9-en-15-al (2), 4 βH -muurol-9-en-15-ol (3) and 4 βH -cadin-9-en-15-ol (4) were carried out by GC/MS (EI and CI) and comprehensive 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopy. Antibacterial activity of Eryngium maritimum L. oil and column chromatography fractions have been investigated for the first time. The oxygenated fraction, which contains the four sesquiterpenes, was efficient against Listeria monocytogenes and Echerichia coli.

Article Synopsis
  • Coastal areas face rising seawater influence, impacting gardening practices, particularly with exotic species that may introduce invasive plants.
  • This study evaluated the salinity tolerance of native geophytes to explore their potential as ornamental plants in salty coastal environments.
  • Results showed that while both species exhibit some tolerance to low to moderate salinity, they do not qualify as halophytes; their ornamental use may be viable in these conditions.

Three species from the L. genus-, , and , plants with a rich chemical composition, were selected for phytochemical and biological studies. The applied biotechnological methods allowed to obtain the biomass of these rare or protected species in the form of multiplied shoots (stationary system) and roots cultured in a liquid medium (agitated system).
