Phytochemical profile and biological activities of the essential oils in the aerial part and root of Saposhnikovia divaricata

Abstract The dried root of Saposhnikovia divaricata (Turcz.) Schischk. is popular as a good medicinal material, however the abundant aerial part is often discarded, which caused the waste of resources. In order to exploit resources, the essential oils of the plant aerial part and root were extracted...

description Abstract The dried root of Saposhnikovia divaricata (Turcz.) Schischk. is popular as a good medicinal material, however the abundant aerial part is often discarded, which caused the waste of resources. In order to exploit resources, the essential oils of the plant aerial part and root were extracted, separately called as VOA and VOR, their chemicals were identified. The tumor necrosis factor-α, interleukin-6, nitric oxide and interleukin-1β were detected to evaluate the oils anti-inflammatory activities. Then, the oils free radical scavenging rates were measured with DPPH, ABTS and hydroxyl free radical. The oils antitumor activities were evaluated with HeLa and HCT-8 cancer cell lines. The results showed the concentrations of VOA and VOR were separately 0.261% and 0.475%. Seventeen components of VOA were identified, accounting for 80.48% of VOA, including phytol, spathulenol, phytone, 4(15),5,10(14)-Germacratrien-1-ol, neophytadiene, etc. Seven components of VOR were determined, representing 90.73% of VOR, consisted of panaxynol, β-bisabolene, etc. VOA and VOR significantly inhibited the secretion of nitric oxide, interleukin-1β, interleukin‐6 and tumor necrosis factor-α, effectively scavenged the DPPH, ABTS and hydroxyl free radicals, and showed significant antiproliferative activity against HeLa and HCT-8. The two oils presented important biological activity, which provided a hopeful utilized basis, and helped to reduce the waste of the aerial non-medicinal resources of S. divaricata.
