ABSTRACT
The diethyl ether extract of the aerial parts of Artemisia abrotanum L. was analyzed by GC and GC/MS. The main identified constituents were silphiperfol-5-en-3-one A (14.6 %), ascaridole (13.1 %), 1,8-cineole (10.5 %), α-bisabolol oxide A acetate (8.7 %), germacrene D (6.5 %) and borneol (6.0 %).
Keywords: Artemisia abrotanum L. (Asteraceae), diethyl ether extract, volatiles, silphiperfol-5-en-3-one A, ascaridole, triquinanes
