Abstract
The qualitative and quantitative composition of chemical components of ethanol extract of the above-ground part of Anthemis altissima L. (syn. Cota altissima (L.) J.Gay) species (family Asteraceae) collected during flowering phase from the flora of Azerbaijan has been studied. The chemical composition of ethanol extract was analyzed by chromatography-mass-spectrometry methods. 54 components were identified in the extract. As a result of the study, it was found that the A. altissima contained benzene aromatic compounds (77.21%). Among them Benzene, (1-butylheptyl) – 7.84%, Benzene, (1-propyloctyl) – 7.71%, Benzene, (1-pentyloctyl) – 7.03%, Benzene, (1-pentylheptyl) – 5.69%, Benzene, (1-butyloctyl) – 5.37%, Benzene, (1-propylnonyl) – 5.02% were the main components. In addition to the above components in the extract of the aerial part other biological active substances, such as alcohols (6.37% – of them prevail Hop-22(29)-en-3. β.-ol – 1.53%, γ-Sitosterol – 1.32%), esters of acids (5.3% – of them prevail Hexadecanoic acid, ethyl ester – 0.88%; Linoleic acid, ethyl ester – 0.63%) and alkanes (1.64% – of them prevail Eicosane – 0.53%; Pentacosane – 0.40%) were also identified. The share of unidentified components was 8.99%. The article also presents the results of the study of the antifungal properties of A. altissima and its aqueous extract against the culture of pathogenic fungi Fusarium oxysporium and Aspergillus niger. The aqueous extract of A. altissima, in contrast to the plant itself, shows a fungistatic effect on the fungi Fusarium oxysporum and Aspergillus niger.

The component composition of the obtained plant extract A. altissima was investigated by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC/MS) on an Agilent Technologies gas chromatograph 6890N Network CG System, 5975 inert Mass Selective Detector mass spectrometer as a Split/Splitless detector, Injection – Split, Inlet pressure 60.608 kPa, Split/ Splitless detector 100 Low Mass – 40, High Mass – 400, Thresold 150
Preference is given to benzene-cyclic aromatic compounds – 77.21%
Summary
The genus Anthemis L. of the tribes Anthemideae Cass. of the families Asteraceae Bercht. et J. The species Anthemis has been studied on the chemical composition and diverse biological activities, such as their antioxidant, antifungal, antiplasmodial, antitumor, schistosomicidal, cytotoxic, anthelmintic, phytotoxic, analgesic effects [16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25]. The literature contains a fairly large number of research papers devoted to the study of the antifungal activity of various plant species (Funtumia elastica, Mallotus oppositifolius, Trachystemon orientalis, Smilax excelsa, Rhododendron ponticum, Phytolacca Americana, Prunus laurocerasus, Artemisia herba alba, Cotula cinerea, Asphodelus tenuifolius, Euphorbia guyoniana and etc.) and extracts, essential oils, saponins, flavonoids, and other biologically active substances obtained from them [27,28,29,30]. In composition A. altissima identified of essential oils, sesquiterpenoids, steroids, aliphatic carbohydrates, aromatic compounds, high fatty acids, aldehydes, ketones, phenolcarbonic acids and others chemical components [6]
