Abstract

The chemical composition of the essential oils of aerial parts of Hypericum lanuginosum var. lanuginosum Lam. and Hypericum perforatum L. were analyzed by GC and GC-MS. Forty one compounds were identified in the essential oils of H. lanuginosum with spathulenol 17.3% , caryophyllene oxide 13.1% , α-pinene 11.7% and undecane 6.2% as main constituents. Forty components were identified in the oil of H. perforatum with β-selinene 19.4% , bicyclogermacrene 15.3% , 2 tetradecene 8.2% and α-amorphene 8.1% as the most abundant components.
