Leaves from Iran]]>BaniebrahimSara RazaviSeyed Mehdi 8201348Background:Echinophora orientalis is perennial, crowded and
much branched herb distribute from Turkey to Iran and Caucasia. There is no
report on essential oil composition of Echinophora orientalis in Iran.
However, the chemical composition of the plant oil was determined in Turkey
where the main compounds of oil were reported as: Myrcene (34.2%) and p-cymene
(18.9%). This study was focused on the composition of the essential oil of Echinophora
orientalis leaves. Materials and methods: The powdered air dried
of Echinophora orientalis aerial parts were distillated for 3 h by a
Clevenger type apparatus. The chemical composition of the hydrodistilled essential
oil was analyzed by GC-MS. The oil components were identified by comparison
of their RI with those reported in the literature and their mass spectrum was
compared with Wiley Library. Results: Totally, 23 compounds were identified
comprising 99.9% of the oil. β-myrcene (32.1%) was the main constituent
of oil, followed by α-pinene (16.7%) and p-cymene (14.34%). The results
showed monoterpenes dominated in leaf oils. Conclusion: The comparison
of the result with literature showed the essential oil composition profile of
Echinophora orientalis collected from Iran is similar to those of Eastern
Turkey. Thus, it is assumed that two samples of Echinophora might be
of same chemotype. It was previously shown that β-myrcene has different
bioactivities. It was assumed that the oil of E. orientalis might be
exhibited various pharmacological and biological properties.]]>Ahmad, V.U., A.R. Jassbi and M.
