Quantitative and Qualitative Study of Bioactive Compounds of EssentialOils of the Medicinal Plant Artemisia sieberi Grown in Lorestan (Iran) byuse of GC-MS Technique

摘要

Artemisia sieberi belongs to the Asteraceae family and genus Artemisia. In this study, essential oils were extractedfrom all aerial parts of Artemisia sieberi by kelvenger set with the utilization of hydrodistillation method. By use of GC/MS technique, the chemical components of essential oil were identified. About 50 components with the help of GC/MS technique were identified which encompassed 96.74% of the whole essential oil. The essential oil yield as a resultof hydrodistillation, 0.48% (weight/weight) was obtained (it has been based on dried materials). Trans-para mentha-1(7), 8-dien-2-ol (22.9%), α-terpineol (10.23%), 1,8 cineole (10.22%), β-thujone (6.78%), cis-sabinol (6.78%), linalool(4.58%), dihydrocarveol (3.71%) and geranyl acetate (3.32%) were the major identified compounds. Oxygenatedmonoterpens group had the highest percentage of essential oil. Because the type and percentage of plant essentialoil compounds in each region is different with other regions, therefore, the aim of this investigation was extractionand identification of the chemical compositions of essential oils in Artemisia sieberi for its uses in various medicinalpurposes.
