Abstract

In the present study, fatty acid compositions, vitamin and sterol contents, flavonoid constituents and radical scavenging activity of extracts of the Artemisia species from Turkey (A. absinthium L., A. vulgaris L., A. austriaca Jacq., A. verlotiorum Lamotte and A. caucasica Willd.) are studied. Results of present study demonstrated that the main fatty acids in the extracts of Artemisia L. are determined as palmitic acid (C16:0; 7.1-25.9%), stearic acid (C18:0; 2.6-12.5%), palmitoleic acid (C16:1 n9; 1.3-13.1%), oleic acid (C18:1 n9; 1.5-20.3%), linoleic acid (C18:2 n6; 14.1-63.4%), docosadienoic acid (C22:2; 1.6-10.3%). Lipide-soluble vitamin contents of Artemisia L. species are found low concentrations. Also, it is determined that A. absinthium and A. vulgaris have rich in term of ergosterol content. Furthermore, it is showed that Artemisia L. species studied rich in flavonoid content apart from A. vulgaris. It is determined that quercetin and kaempferol contents of Artemisia L. species are low. In addition, it is observed that the studied Artemisia L. species posses strong DPPH radical scavenging activity.

土耳其五种青蒿的生物学含量及自由基清除活性研究

本文对土耳其三种青蒿(A. absinthium L.， A. vulgaris L.， A. austaca Jacq.)提取物的脂肪酸组成、维生素和甾醇含量、类黄酮成分和自由基清除活性进行了研究。(A. verlotiorum Lamotte和A. caucasica wild)。本研究结果表明，青蒿提取物中主要脂肪酸为棕榈酸(C16:0;7.1-25.9%)，硬脂酸(C18:0;2.6-12.5%)，棕榈油酸(C16:1 n9;1.3-13.1%)，油酸(C18:1 n9;1.5-20.3%)，亚油酸(C18:2 n6;14.1-63.4%)，二十二烯酸(C22:2;1.6 - -10.3%)。青蒿属植物脂溶性维生素含量较低。同时确定苦艾草和苦艾草麦角甾醇含量较高。此外，研究还表明，除黄酮含量丰富的蒿属植物外，其他植物的黄酮含量也较丰富。结果表明，青蒿中槲皮素和山奈酚含量较低。此外，观察到所研究的青蒿种具有较强的DPPH自由基清除活性。
