Phytochemical Content of Centaurea polypodiifolia boiss. var. polypodiifolia

Abstract

Various solvents including hexane, CHCl3, EtOAc, and MeOH were used to extract the aerial parts of C. polypodiifolia Boiss. var. polypodiifolia. Hexane extract was analyzed by GC-MS and nonacosane and octacosane were determined as the main constituents. HPLC-TOF/MS analyses were carried out on CHCl3, EtOAc, and MeOH extracts. The main constituents of CHCl3 extract were detected as 4-hydroxybenzoic acid, vanilic acid, and gentisic acid. Gentisic acid, fumaric acid, chlorogenic acid, and vanilic acid were determined as the main compounds of EtOAc extract. Finally, main constituents of MeOH extract were found as fumaric acid, chlorogenic acid, quercetin-3-β-D-glucoside, gentisic acid and diosmin.
