- Abstract
The essential oil from the leaves of Murraya alata Drake was extracted by hydrodistillation and analyzed by GC-MS. A total of 70 components were identified, accounting for 93.7% of the oil composition. The major compound is α-cadinol (18.9%), followed by α-muurolol (10.0%), trans-prenyl limonene (7.7%), germacra-4(15),5,10(14)-trien-1-α-ol (6.0%), and cedryl acetate (5.4%). M. alata oil was characterized by a high content of sesquiterpenes (91.2%), with cadinene-type being the most representative compounds. The structural diversity of sesquiterpenes as well as their chemotaxonomic significance was discussed. In addition, M. alata oil showed moderate in vitro antioxidant and cytotoxic effects.
