Chemical Constituents of Methanol and n-Hexane Extracts of Zosimia absinthifolia (Seeds)

Chemical Composition and Antibacterial Activity of the Essential Oil of Zosimia absinthifolia Growing in East Azarbaijan (Iran)

“…The percentage of the major compounds of different Z. absintifolia volatile oils growing in different areas. 3,[5][6][7] No Compounds ZaeM As it could be seen in the Table 1 and Figure 1, phytochemicals of ZaeM were predominantly made up of firstly, esters (68.48%), secondly, alcohols (26.04%) and thirdly, Aldehydes (1.43%). Also the percentage of monoterpene and sesquiterpenes were 1.30% and 0.97 %, respectively.…”

“…4 In another study, three flavonoids were separated from the methanolic extract of seeds of Z. absinthifolia. 3 Furthermore, GC and GC/MS analysis of the n-hexan extract from the seeds of this herb resulted n-octylacetate, octylpropanoate, decane, angelicin, umbelliferone as the major chemical compounds. Since Apiaceae (Umbelliferae) was selected as the source of essential oil containing herbs, so the volatile oil of the genus Zosimia would be a good candidate to investigate both in terms of the composition and biological activities.…”

“…2 The seeds of Z. absinthifolia, with local name of "Zarak-e-Kuhi" have been consumed as spice in some regions of Iran. 3 The reported phyto constituents from methanolic extract of roots and fruits of Z. absinthifolia, were lactones of coumarin group, zosimin and deltoin. Moreover, two flavonoids as well as one chalcone have been identified from the methanolic extract of aerial parts of this species.…”
