Abstract
The pleasant smelling flower essential oil of Artabotrys hexapetalus (L. f.) Bhandare (Annonaceae) was analyzed
by GC and GC/MS. Twenty-six components of the oil including sesquiterpene hydrocarbons (33.3% of the oil) and
oxygenated sesquiterpenoids (47.7%) were identified. β-caryophyllene (11.4%) and caryophyllene oxide (31.5%) were
identified as the major components of the oil.

Plant Name

Present work


Artabotrys hexapetalus (L. f.) Bhandare, Annonaceae
(Vietnamese name Cay Mong Rong).

Gas Chromatography: An Orion Micromat 412 instrument
equipped with two fused silica capillary columns (25 m × 0.25
mm, film thickness 0.15 µm) coated with non-polar CPSil-5-CB
and more polar CPSil-19-CB (Chrompack), respectively, split
injection and flame ionization detection, was used. Injection
and detector temperatures were maintained at 200°C and
250°C, temperature program 50°–230°C at 3°C/min, carrier
gas H2 at 1.2 mL/min.
Gas Chromatography–Mass Spectrometry: A HewlettPackard HP 5890 gas chromatograph, coupled to a VG Analytical
70-250S mass spectrometer. The GC was fitted with a fused
silica capillary column coated with CPSil-5-CB (25 m × 0.25
mm, film thickness 0.15 µm). The GC operating conditions
were identical to those described above. The MS operating

parameters were: ionization voltage, 70 eV; ion source temperature, 230°C; He was used as the carrier gas.
The oil was analyzed using GC on a non-polar fused CPSil-5CB and a more polar CPSil-19-CB capillary columns of identical
dimensions, and GC/MS on a CPSil-5-CB column. Retention
indices and mass spectra of the constituents were compared
with those of authentic samples and a computer-supported
spectral library under identical experimental conditions
(1,2). Twenty-six components representing 81% of the oil
were identified (Table I). The representative constituents of
sesquiterpene hydrocarbons (33.3% of the oil) and oxygenated

Source
The fresh flowers of A. hexapetalus were collected in Hoang
Mai Village, Hanoi, Vietnam. The plant material was identified by Dr. Nguyen Hoanh Coi, Military Institute of Drugs
Control, Hanoi, Vietnam, and voucher specimens are kept
in the Herbarium of the Laboratory of Chemistry of Natural
Products, Faculty of Chemistry, College of Natural Science,
Vietnam National University, Hanoi, Vietnam.

Plant Part
The fresh flowers were subjected to hydrodistillation for 8
h to produce an oil of 0.94% yield based on the fresh weight.
The oil was dried over anhydrous sodium sulphate.

Previous work
To the best of our knowledge, no chemical information on
the essential oil from A. hexapetalus has been reported.
