In the present study the chemical composition of the essential oils from aerial parts and roots of Anthemis mixta L. and A. tomentosa L. was evaluated by GC and GC-MS, and their antibacterial activity tested against ten bacterial species. Hexadecanoic acid (15.2%) was recognized as the main constituent ofA. mixta, together with tau-cadinol (6.7%), while in both aerial parts and roots of A. tomentosa nonacosane (21.9% and 20.7%), heptacosane (8.1% and 6.0%), hexadecanoic acid (8.1% and 27.1%) and hexahydrofarnesylacetone (6.8% and 5.5%) prevailed. The oils from aerial parts of both species showed a good activity against Gram-positive bacteria. These results suggest that the plants could be potentially used in food manufacture and cosmetology as preservative agents or in medicine as new antibiotics.
在本研究中，采用气相色谱（GC）和气相色谱-质谱联用（GC-MS）技术对混生春黄菊（Anthemis mixta L.）和绒毛春黄菊（A. tomentosa L.）地上部分及根部挥发油的化学成分进行了评估，并测试了它们对十种细菌的抗菌活性。十六烷酸（15.2%）被认为是混生春黄菊的主要成分，还有τ-杜松醇（6.7%），而在绒毛春黄菊的地上部分和根部，二十九烷（21.9%和20.7%）、二十七烷（8.1%和6.0%）、十六烷酸（8.1%和27.1%）以及六氢法呢基丙酮（6.8%和5.5%）占主导地位。两种植物地上部分的挥发油对革兰氏阳性菌均表现出良好的活性。这些结果表明，这些植物有可能作为防腐剂用于食品制造和美容领域，或作为新型抗生素用于医药领域。
