The family Asteraceae comprises many species that have medicinal importance in terms of their chemical components. Some species of the genus have been used in folk medicine for a long time ago. One of them is L., a wild plant that is a weed in agriculture. To date, few studies have been published on its chemical profile. In this research, we investigated the volatile compounds and fatty acids of roots, leaves, and seeds. To this end, a microsteam distillation-solid phase microextraction technique (MSD-SPME) followed by a gas chromatography-mass spectrometry analysis was performed. Aldehydes and terpenoids were predominantly present in the leaves with phenylacetaldehyde as the major compound (up to 18%) while 2-ethyl hexanol (up to 36.9%) was the most abundant substance in the roots. Among the fatty acids, nonadecanoic acid (38.3%) was the main one detected in the leaves, while linoleic acid (57.7%) was predominant in the seeds. Some of the detected constituents have already demonstrated importance in medicinal and industrial areas. As a result, this species could be further investigated for its biological features and be considered as a source of ingredients beneficial in different fields, including pharmaceuticals.
菊科植物含有许多具有药用价值的化学成分。该属的一些物种很久以前就在民间医学中被使用。其中一种是 L.，一种野生植物，在农业中是一种杂草。迄今为止，关于其化学特征的研究很少。在这项研究中，我们研究了根、叶和种子中的挥发性化合物和脂肪酸。为此，采用微蒸汽蒸馏-固相微萃取技术（MSD-SPME），然后进行气相色谱-质谱分析。叶子中主要含有醛类和萜类化合物，其中苯乙醛含量最高（高达 18%），而根中含量最高的物质是 2-乙基己醇（高达 36.9%）。在脂肪酸中，在叶子中检测到的主要成分是非碳酸（38.3%），而在种子中，亚油酸（57.7%）占主导地位。一些检测到的成分在医学和工业领域已经表现出重要性。因此，这种植物可以进一步研究其生物学特征，并被认为是有益的成分来源，包括在制药等不同领域。
