CHEMICAL CONSTITUENTS OF VOLATILE OIL FROM PODOCARPUS FLEURYI HICKEL

From hydrodistillation, 0.5% of an volatile oil on a fresh weight basis was obtained from leaves of Podocarpus fleuryi Hickel. Twenty-four constituents were identified by GC-MS analyses for the first time. The identified constituents represent 97.29% of the peak area of the oil. Terpenes and alcohols are major chemical constituents in the oil. The main compounds were α -pinene (8.67%), (-)- β -elemene (2.68%), β -caryophyllene (3.97%), (+)-ledene (2.11%), germacrene D (21.56%), o -menth-8-ene,4-isopropylidene-1-vinyl-(45.13%), β -cadinene (2.02%) and (-)-spathulenol (3.15%).
