The leaf essential oils of Dendropanax capillaris, Oreopanax nubigenus and Schefflera rodrigueziana (Araliaceae) were isolated by hydrodistillation and analyzed by GC-MS. The leaf oil of Dendropanax capillaris was composed of only four compounds, beta-pinene (25.3%), 6-3-carene (44.7%), daucene (17.1%), and dauca-5,8-diene (12.9%). Oreopanax nubigenus leaf oil was dominated by the sesquiterpene hydrocarbons germacrene D (70.1%) and beta-caryophyllene (11.8%), while Schefflera rodrigueziana leaf oil was made up entirely of sesquiterpene hydrocarbons, mostly germacrene D (27.6%), beta-cubebene (27.2%), beta-caryophyllene (12.2%), beta-cubebene (11.1%), and alpha-copaene (10.8%). Both O. nubigenus and S. rodrigueziana leaf oils showed notable in-vitro cytotoxicity on MDA-MB-231 cells, which may be attributable to the relatively high concentrations of germacrene D and beta-caryophyllene in those oils.
通过水蒸馏法分离了细柱树参、云雾南美参和罗氏鹅掌柴(五加科)的叶精油,并采用气相色谱-质谱联用仪(GC-MS)进行分析。细柱树参的叶油仅由四种化合物组成,即β-蒎烯(25.3%)、6-3-蒈烯(44.7%)、胡萝卜素(17.1%)和胡萝卜-5,8-二烯(12.9%)。云雾南美参叶油以倍半萜烃类杜松烯D(70.1%)和β-石竹烯(11.8%)为主,而罗氏鹅掌柴叶油则完全由倍半萜烃类组成,主要是杜松烯D(27.6%)、β-荜澄茄烯(27.2%)、β-石竹烯(12.2%)、β-荜澄茄烯(11.1%)和α-可巴烯(10.8%)。云雾南美参和罗氏鹅掌柴的叶油对MDA-MB-231细胞均表现出显著的体外细胞毒性,这可能归因于这些油中相对较高浓度的杜松烯D和β-石竹烯。
