| dc.description.abstract | The volatile composition of the essential oils obtained through hydrodistillation from the leaf, flower and fruit of Cordia sebestena (L.) of Nigerian origin, was determined by GC-MS analyses. A total of 61 compounds were identified in the three samples, while three were unidentifiable. Bioactive compounds such as nerolidol (2.3 %), farnesyl acetate (4.9 %) and 4-pentenylbutanoic acid ester (12.2 %) were found uniquely in the fruit while hemimellitene (2.6 %), D-limolene (1.5 %) and 1,2-dihydro-1,1,6-trimethylnaphthalene (4.5 %) were detected only in the flower and p-vinylguaiacol (1.4 %), Cyclopenta[1,3]cyclopropa[1,2]cyclohepten-3(3aH)- one, 1,2,3b,6,7,8- hexahydro-6,6-dimethyl (1.1 %) and citronellyliso-butyrate (0.7 %) in the leaf. Squalene and phytol were found in the leaf and fruit at significant concentrations but were not detected in flower. The essential oil from Cordia sebestina is a potential source of pharmacologically important natural products. | en_US |
