Ecology and phytochemical characterization of Centaurea solstitialis L., family Asteraceae Dumort

Keywords: C. solstitialis L., sesquiterpene lactone, coumarin, Gas-Chromato-Mass Spectrometry, isobergapten, ostol, α-Santonin

Abstract

Background. According to the World Health Organization, more than 80% of the world's population in developing countries primarily use herbal medicines for their health needs.

The purpose of the study – phytochemical study of the C. solstitialis L. species of the Gulavar genus of the Asteraceae Dumort family distributed in the flora of Azerbaijan.

Material and methods. Sesquiterpene lactones, coumarin derivatives and other components were obtained from the aerial parts of the plant by Gas-Chromato-Mass-Spectrometry method.

Results. Isobergapten, C12H8O4, ostol C15H16O3, C15H18O3 α-Santonin Centaureae solstitialis L. - 2 coumarins and 1 sesquiterpene lactone belonging to the group of natural compounds obtained from the above-ground parts of the plant were obtained. The extraction time, chemical formula and molecular weight of the components were determined by the Gas-Chromato-Mass-Spectrometry method.
