Abstract

Mussaenda esquirolli Lévl., belonging to the family Rubiaceae, is an important resource plant in China with medicinal, healthy, landscaping and ornamental value. In the present study, both no decolorization and decolorization petroleum ether extracts in leaves of Mussaenda esquirolli Lévl., were subjected to GC-MS analysis, respectively. The results showed that the major chemical constituents are phytol (37.49%, 42.86%), squalene (5.59%, 47.15%), linolenic acid (9.79%) and b-sitosterol acetate (15.49%), all of which have high use value. The study provided the medicinal and health function for Mussaenda esquirolli Lévl. on the basis of the chemical compositions.
