Abstract

Achillea species have been widely used as herbal medicine for a time. Achillea millefolium L. has one of the broadest applications in herbal medicine because of its antioxidant activity. As congeneric subspecies of the A. millefolium L., the A. alpina L. and A. wilsoniana L. also have many medical properties. This paper explored the essential oils of these two plants by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and the differences in their antioxidant activity. The result showed that the major components of essential oil from A. wilsoniana L. were (+)-2-bornanone (8.51%), (-)-β-bisabolene (6.7%), chamazulene (6.4), neointermedeol (6.12%). And the major components of essential oil from A. alpina L. were chamazulene (6.53%), (1S)-(1)-beta-pinene (5.19%), nerolidol (3.6%), and esquisabinen (2.7%). The results indicated that A. alpina L. had the highest composition of chamazulene compared with the other two. Due to the variety of compounds in the two essential oils, their antioxidant activities were different on DPPH and ABTS assays. The antioxidant activity of A. wilsoniana L. was better than A. alpina L. but lower than the A. millefolium L.

山楂和山楂的化学成分及抗氧化活性比较。

一段时间以来，水蛭属植物被广泛用作草药。千叶阿喀琉叶具有抗氧化活性，是中药中应用最广泛的植物之一。作为千叶橐吾的同属亚种，高山橐吾和野橐吾也具有许多药用特性。本文采用气相色谱-质谱联用技术(GC-MS)对这两种植物的挥发油进行了研究，并对其抗氧化活性进行了比较。结果表明，金银花挥发油的主要成分为(+)-2-冰片酮(8.51%)、(-)-β-双abolene(6.7%)、chamazulene(6.4)、新中间体醇(6.12%)。主要成分为chamazulene(6.53%)、(1S)-(1)- - -蒎烯(5.19%)、橙花醇(3.6%)和油葵素(2.7%)。结果表明，与其他两种植物相比，高山桤木中chamazulene的含量最高。由于两种精油中含有多种化合物，其抗氧化活性在DPPH和ABTS实验中存在差异。金针菇的抗氧化活性优于高山金针菇，但低于千叶金针菇。
