Abstract:
OBJECTIVE To study the chemical constituents of essential oils of flower from Elsholtzia stauntonii Benth.METHODS The chemical constituents of essential oils were identified and analyzed by GC/MS and area normalization method. RESULTS Thirty-six compounds were isolated and identified. These compounds concluded 4-(1-methyl ethyl)- benzenemethanol(48.32%), 2-methyl-5-pentanone(3)-furane (22.87%), 2-methyl-5-iso-pentanone-furane (6.40%), β-caryophyllene (3.00%), 2-ethyl-5-iso-butanone-furane(3.56%), caryophyllene oxide (3.46%) and so on. CONCLUSION These compounds were found from the flower of the plant for the first time.
