Abstract
The essential oils from leaves, root bark and root wood of Cochlospermum vitifolium were investigated for the first time. The oils were obtained by hydrodistillation and analyzed by GC/MS. The main volatile constituents were b-caryophyllene (8.2 - 46.5%), b-bisabolene (11.5 - 29.3%), g-muurolene (28.4%), a-humulene (26.0%), 1-hydroxy-3-hexadecanone (16.2 - 19.5%) and b-pinene (10.6%). Phytochemical analysis of the root bark and root wood extracts yielded excelsin, pinoresinol, narigenin, aromadendrin, galic acid and a triacylbenzene, along with b-sitosterol and stigmasterol and their D-glucosides. The structures of all compounds were determined by analyses of the spectroscopic data (NMR and MS), and comparison with the literature.
