Sphagneticola trilobata (L.) Pruski (Asteraceae) is an essential oil- bearing soil creeper, with ethnomedicinal claims. The chemical composition of the volatile metabolites of the leaves, stem, and flowers were analyzed by means of gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). A total of forty constituents were identified, accounting for 98.2-99.5% of the oils composition. The predominant compounds in the leaf oil were α-pinene (57.9%) and germacrene D (7.1%), while α-pinene characterized the stem (89.5%) and flower (95.8%) oils. S. trilobata is a natural rich source of α- pinene, and can be exploited for further useful benefits

Abstract

Sphagneticola trilobata (L.) Pruski (Asteraceae) is an essential oil- bearing soil creeper, with ethnomedicinal claims. The chemical composition of the volatile metabolites of the leaves, stem, and flowers were analyzed by means of gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). A total of forty constituents were identified, accounting for 98.2-99.5% of the oils composition. The predominant compounds in the leaf oil were α-pinene (57.9%) and germacrene D (7.1%), while α-pinene characterized the stem (89.5%) and flower (95.8%) oils. S. trilobata is a natural rich source of α- pinene, and can be exploited for further useful benefits
