CHEMICAL PROFILING BY GC/MS ANALYSIS OF NON-POLAR EXTRACTS OF ERYNGIUM GLAZIOVIANUM (APIACEAE)
Abstract
GC/MS was used as a tool to achieve the chemical profiling of n-hexane extracts from flowers, leaves and stems of plant species Eryngium glaziovianum L. (Apiaceae), an ornamental plant commonly found in several states of Brazil. Gas chromatograms and mass spectra of the constituents of the extracts showed significant differences among the profiles and revealed the presence of the biologically active sesquiterpene b-eudesmol and steroids g-sitosterol and sitostenone as major constituents of flowers, leaves and stems, respectively. These data allow classifying this plant as a source for further isolation of these biologically important substances.
