Variation of Chemical Constituents and Antiradical Capacity of Nine Ferulago angulata (Schltdl.) Boiss Populations from Iran.

Variation of Chemical Constituents and Antiradical Capacity of Nine Ferulago angulata (Schltdl.) Boiss Populations from Iran. Chem Biodivers. 2019 Aug 15;: Authors: Bagherifar S, Sourestani MM, Zolfaghari M, Mottaghipisheh J, Zomborszki ZP, Csupor D Abstract The present study was designed to assess the influence of geographical factors on essential oil (EO) composition, along with antiradical potential and phytochemical contents of Ferulago angulata (Schltdl.) Boiss (Apiaceae) extracts for the first time. The aerial parts were hydro-distilled by Clevenger apparatus and subjected to gas chromatography coupled with flame ionization detector (GC/FID) and mass spectroscopy (GC/MS). The EO yields were significantly different from populations "Mongar" (south-slope, 3000 m) with 1.34 ± 0.06% and "Male-Amiri" (north slope, 2600 m) with 0.18 ± 0.05% of total oil. Thirty-nine compounds were identified from the EOs of nine populations. α-Pinene was the predominant component ranging from 20.84 to 49.06% in "Gandomkar" (north- slope, 2500 m) and "Mongar" (3000 m), respectively. The methanolic extract of "Mongar" (north- slope at 2500 m) possessed the highest total phenolic contents. Also, this population logically exhibited the potent antiradical activity using both 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and oxygen radical absorbance capacity (ORAC) assays with EC50 of 42.07 ± 4.12 µg/mL and 8.34 ± 0.21 mmol Trolox® equivalents/g, respective...
