Abstract

The main objectives of the research work were to screen of the phytochemical constituents and identify the compositions of essential oil of Ageratum conyzoides L., which was collected in Thua Thien Hue province, by phytochemical analysis and using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The results of the study showed that Ageratum conyzoides L. in Thua Thien Hue has diversity of chemical constituents, including: saponins, flavonoids, steroids…; and the main component in the essential oil of this species is β-sesquiphellandrene (17.48%).
Keywords: Ageratum conyzoides L., Phytochemical screening, Essential oil, GC-MS

Tóm tắt

Bài báo này công bố kết quả định tính một số lớp chất và thành phần hóa học tinh dầu của cây cỏ hôi (Ageratum conyzoides L.) được thu hái tại Thừa Thiên Huế. Trong nghiên cứu này các lớp chất được định tính bằng các phương pháp vật lý và hóa học; thành phần hóa học của tinh dầu được xác định bằng phương pháp sắc kí khí khối phổ liên hợp (GC-MS). Kết quả nghiên cứu cho thấy cây cỏ hôi được thu hái tại Thừa Thiên Huế chứa các lớp chất như: saponin, flavonoid, steroid…; và hợp chất có hàm lượng lớn nhất trong tinh dầu của đối tượng nghiên cứu được xác định là: β-sesquiphellandrene (17,48%)
