Chemical composition and lipoxygenase inhibitory activity of Alseodaphne peduncularis Meisn. essential oil

This study examined the chemical composition of essential oil extracted from bark Alseodaphne peduncularis Meisn. (Lauraceae) by hydrodistillation with 0.2% yield. The was chemically characterised gas chromatography-flame ionization detector and chromatography-mass spectrometry, 31 constituents comprising 94.3% total content were identified. These included β-caryophyllene (24.5%), viridiflorol (12.3%), δ-cadinene (9.8%), bicyclogermacrene (4.2%), respectively. tested showed moderate in vitro lipoxygenase activity an IC50 = 60.2 μg/mL. To best our knowledge, there is no report on part this species.
