  abstract = {{P}luchea carolinensis ({J}acq.) {G}. {D}on ({A}steraceae) is a plant species still widely used in the popular medicine of {C}aribbean region. {T}he present work describes the chemical composition of essential oil of {P}. carolinensis leaves and flowers from {M}artinique {I}sland and first exploration of its antimicrobial and insecticide activities. {T}he chemical analysis using {GC}/{FID} and {GC}-{MS} of essential oils of {P}. carolinensis flowers and leaves led to the identification of 44 constituents representing 64.6-84.2 % of the extracts. {T}he major identified components in aerial parts were selin-11-en-4 alpha-ol (17.7-33.4 %), beta-caryophyllene (5.5-21.1 %), 2,5-dimethoxycymene (8.9-3.3 %), caryophyllene oxide (6.6-3.3 %), alpha-pinene (4.7 %) and spathulenol (3.8-3.1 %). {F}urthermore, two carvotanacetone derivatives were for the first time identified from the aerial parts of {P}. carolinensis: 5-angeloyloxycarvotagetone (2.9-18.1 % of abundance in oils) and the new carvotanacetone 5-isovaleroyloxycarvotagetone (1.2-7.0 % of abundance in oils). {T}heir structures were elucidated based on {NMR} and {HRMS} data. {E}ssential oil of {P}. carolinensis exhibited an antimicrobial activity against {A}spergillus niger, {C}andida albicans, {S}taphylococcus aureus and {B}acillus cereus. {I}nsecticidal assays against {A}edes aegypti showed an interesting repellent activity at 1.0 % and a high irritating activity at 0.1 % against mosquitoes. {T}hus the essential oil from {P}. carolinensis aerial parts can be considered as new source of natural ingredient for pharmaceutical and cosmetical industries.},
