Abstract

The composition of the essential oils obtained by hydrodistillation of different geographical origin of Chimonanthus praecox, including Hangzhou and Wenzhou samples, were investigated by GC/MS. Forty three components comprising 93.05 % of the leave oils from Hangzhou plant, and 32 components comprising 94.26 % of the leave oils from Wenzhou plant were identified. The major components in the leaf oil from Hangzhou samples were (-)-alloisolongifolene (10.20 %), caryophyllene (9.31 %), elixene (8.52 %), germacrene D (7.30 %), germacrene B (7.44 %), d-cadinene (6.17 %) and b-elemen (4.67 %). While, the oil from Wenzhou samples contained furan, 3-(4,8-dimethyl-3,7-nonadienyl)-, (E)-(21.69 %), eucalyptol (19.02 %), terpilene (12.41 %), p-menth-1-en-8-ol (6.65 %) and geraniol (5.29 %) as the major components. The antifungal activity of the oils against 8 phytopathogenic fungi was tested by determining minimum inhibitory concentrations using the microdilution method. Both oils exhibited potent antifungal activities with MIC values of 8-32 μg/mL. Both oils were considered bioactive, showing an LC50 value of 30 and 22 μg/mL in the Artemia salina lethality test.
