Introduction: The
genus Hypericum L. belonging to Hypericaceae is
represented in the Flora of Turkey by 94 taxa (1-3). Hypericum species are known as names of kantaron, peygamber çiçeği,
kılıçotu, kanotu, kuzukıran and binbirdelik otu (4). Hypericum species have traditionally been used in Anatolia for
centuries in the treatment of burns, infections, hemorrhoids, diarrhea and ulcers.
Various parts of the this species are used in the form of ointments, decoctions
and oily maserates. (5). The aim of this study is to determine the chemical
composition of H. scabrum L. essential
oil collected from Tokat, Turkey.
Materials and Methods: Hypericum
scabrum collected in May, 2018 from Tokat, Turkey. The voucher specimen has
been deposited at the Herbarium in the Anadolu Unıversity, (ESSE no: 15467),
Eskişehir, Turkey. The plant material was identified by Prof. Dr. Yavuz Bülent
KÖSE.
The
essential oil from air-dried aerial parts was isolated by hydrodistillation using
a Clevenger apparatus. Chemical
composition of the oil was investigated using GC-FID and GC-MS techniques.
Results: α-Pinene
(44.7%), sabinene (14.8%), β-pinene
(5.5%), limonene (5.2%) and germacrene D (4.7%) were found as main compounds in
the essential oil of H. scabrum.
Conclusions: To the best of our knowledge with this
study, essential oil composition of H.
scabrum was analyzed for the first time from Tokat in Turkey.
