Preliminary Phytochemical Profile and Characterization of the Extract from the Fruits of Xylopia frutescens Aubl.(Annonaceae)

摘要

The chemical composition of essential oils extracted from Xylopia frutescens Aubl.(Annonaceae)fruit(collected in Pernambuco,Brazil)was examined by TLC and GC/MS.TLC analysis detected compounds from the flavonoid and terpenoid groups.GC/MS detected 23 terpenoid compounds,in which the principal components were germacrene D(24.2%),linalool(12.1%),beta-pinene(8.0%),cis-sabinene hydrate(7.9%),trans-pinocarveol(7.8%),alpha-copaene(7.0%)and limonene(5.6%).Other constituents found were sabinene,m-cymene,1,8-cineole,beta-ocimene,perillene,cis-sabinol,alpha-campholenal,isopinocamphone,terpinen-4-ol,verbenone,trans-carveol,carvone,perillyl alcohol,alpha-cubebene,delta-cadinene and elemol.Most of these compounds have not been detected in fruit extracts of X.frutescens before;therefore this study represents the most comprehensive analysis to date of the chemical components in the fruits of this plant.
