Chenopodium oil Chemische Eigenschaften,Einsatz,Produktion Methoden
Chemische Eigenschaften
Colorless or yellowish oil; characteristic
penetrating odor; bitterish burning taste. Soluble in 3–10 volumes of 70% alcohol (inferior and adulterated oils
do not yield a clear solution).
Occurrence
Found in the flowers and fruit of the plant C. ambrosioides and C. ambrosioides L. var. anthelminticum (L.) A. Gray (Fam. Chenopodiaceae) (Guenther, 1952).

synthetische
By steam distillation from the overground parts of the flowering and fruiting plant, C. ambrosioides (Guenther, 1952).
Pharmakologie
In tests of antispasmodic activity, a saturated aqueous solution of chenopodium
oil showed musculotropic spasmolytic activity against BaCl2-induced spasms in rat duodenum, had
a clear antihistaminic action in guinea-pig ileum and inhibited nicotine-induced spasms in rabbit
jejunum (Debelmas & Rochat, 1967). Frogs, toads and guinea-pigs responded to chenopodium oil
by a decrease in the rate and amplitude of the heart beat, ascribed to vagus excitation and myocardium
intoxication (Donatelli, 1935).
Stoffwechsel
The oil is readily absorbed from the gastro-intestinal tract. It is partially eliminated
in the lungs, but excretion via the urine or faeces does not appear to have been reported (Goodman
& Gilman, 1960). Traces of ascaridole were found in the stomach and intestinal tract of a 14-monthold baby who died from poisoning with chenopodium oil (Meie, 1952).
