Chemical Constituents of Essential oil of Syringa vulgaris flowers

Abstract

Medicinal plants gain a great interest in the drug development process due to their bioactive compounds content. Syringa vulgaris has been used as traditional medicine and it has considerable biological effects. In this study, essential oil (EO) was generated from Syringa vulgaris flowers by hydrodistillation and the chemical constituents were identified by GC/MS/MS analysis. The GC/MS/MS analysis revealed the presence of 57 compounds, and linalool (26.34%), α-terpineol (10.84%), trans geraniol (9.83%), α-bisabolol (4.50%), cis-nerol acetate (5.28%), lavandulyl acetate (4.32%) were found as major products.

“…Especially, medicinal and aromatic plants are grown for use in preventing diseases, as flavoring agents in incense, cosmetics, preserving food and improving the taste of many types of food (Toplan et al, 2022;Yilmaz et al, 2022). In addition, many studies reporting medicinal plants with important biological activities such as antioxidant, antimicrobial, antiviral, and antiproliferative activities have been revealed (Zhang et al, 2014;Suleman et al, 2021;Gecer, 2022). Vitex is one of the largest genera of the Lamiaceae family (formerly belonging to the Verbenaceae family), and consists of 217 species.…”
