    Author: Zhang Y, Zhang J, Yao J, Yang YL, Wang L, Dong LN.
    Journal: Zhongguo Zhong Yao Za Zhi; 2005 Apr; 30(8):594-6. PubMed ID: 16011283.
    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: To analyse the chemical constituents of Artemisia dracunculus. METHOD: The essential oil from A. dracunculus was extracted by steam distillation and the chemical constituents were analysed by capillary GC-MS method. The relative content of each component was calculated by area normalization. RESULT: 36 peaks were separated and all of them were identified. The main chemical components were 3,7-dimethyl-1,3,7-octatriene (38.43%), 1S-alpha-pinene (36.96%), 1-methoxy-4-(2-Propenyl)-benzene (8.57%), limonene (6.33%), 1R-alpha-pinene (3.40%), etc. CONCLUSION: The study provided solid and scientific proof for the further exploitation and utilization of A. dracunculus.
