  • Title: GC/MS analysis of the essential oil of Leucas indica from India.
    Author: Joshi RK.
    Journal: Nat Prod Commun; 2014 Nov; 9(11):1607-8. PubMed ID: 25532292.
    Abstract:
    The aim of the present study was to investigate and identify the essential oil constituents of Leucas indica (L.) R.Br. (Lamiaceae). The chemical composition of the hydro-distilled essential oil was obtained from the flowering aerial parts of L. indica for the first time. The oil was analyzed by gas chromatography equipped with flame ionization detector (GC-FID) and gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (GC/MS). Fifty-six compounds were identified, representing 99.1% of the total oil. The main constituents were β-caryophyllene (51.1%) and α-caryophyllene (10.2%). The oil was found to be rich in sesquiterpene hydrocarbons (71.8%).
