    Author: Pu LX, Yuan XH, Tang TJ.
    Journal: Zhong Yao Cai; 2009 Nov; 32(11):1694-7. PubMed ID: 20218292.
    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: To analyze and compare the compounds in the essential oil from the leaves and roots of Ardisia brevicaulis. METHODS: The essential oil were obtained by steam distillation. The chemical components were separated and identified by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). RESULTS: 38 compounds were identified from the leaves (65.952% of the total essential oil) and 46 compounds were identified from the roots (54.890% of the total essential oil). The main constituents of the leaves essential oil were Palmitic acid (43.329%), Fitone (2.430%), Phytol (3.142%), and so on. The main constituents of the roots essential oil were Calamenene (2.913%), cis-alpha-Bisabolene (5.222%), gamma-Muurolene (14.227%), Caryophyllene (11.592%), and so on. CONCLUSION: The constituents of volatile oil extracted from the leaves and roots of Ardisia brevicaulis were different, so the leaves and roots of Ardisia brevicaulis should be utilized differently in clinical application.
