Abstrakt: This article provides information on the constituents of Artemisia rutifolia, a plant species found in Asian mountain systems. The plant is commonly used in traditional medicine due to its production of biologically active terpenoids and phenolic compounds. A phytochemical study conducted in Uzbekistan revealed the presence of compounds such as α-thujone, camphor, and eupatilin. The study also suggests that the Tien-Shan population of A. rutifolia may have a unique chemical composition. Additionally, the article discusses the isolation and testing of compounds from A. rutifolia for their attractant activity on termites. The benzine fraction of the plant extract was found to have high attractant activity for termites, specifically Anacanthotermes termites. The results indicate that a 10% solution of the benzine fraction could be used as a new attractant for these termites. [Extracted from the article]
