Pharmaceutical Botanical and Phytochemical Investigation of Chelidonium majus L. (Papaveraceae) Growing in Eskişehir

Abstract

In this study, the morpho-anatomical features and volatile components of Chelidonium majus L were investigated. C. majus L., the only species of the Chelidonium L. genus in our country, is known locally as ‘Temre otu’ or ‘Kırlangıçotu’. This species is recorded for the first time in Flora of Tukey records for square B3. Morphological structures of flower, leaf and stem were examined and measurements were taken. Cross sections from the root and body of the plant, cross and superficial sections from the leaf were taken and anatomically examined. The essential oil obtained from the above-ground parts of the plant was analyzed by GC and GC/MS. The main compounds of the essential oil of C. majus were phytol (22.4%), methyl linolenate (13.2%) and nonacosan (6.5%).
