Volatile Constituents of the Stem and Root Barks of Pyrenacantha staudtii Engl

The volatile oils obtained by hydrodistillation of the stem and root barks of Pyrenacantha staudtii Engl. (Icacinaceae) were analyzed for their constituents by Gas chromatography-Mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Hexadecanoic acid (38.7% and 63.0%) and 1, 8-cineole (11.1% and 4.6%) are the quantitatively s...

Description
Summary:The volatile oils obtained by hydrodistillation of the stem and root barks of Pyrenacantha staudtii Engl. (Icacinaceae) were analyzed for their constituents by Gas chromatography-Mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Hexadecanoic acid (38.7% and 63.0%) and 1, 8-cineole (11.1% and 4.6%) are the quantitatively significant constituents of the oils, respectively.
