MOLECULAR RESOURCE OF DRACOCEPHALUM NUTANS L
Abstract
The data on complex metabolite profiling of Dracocephalum nutans L. of Lamiaceae family obtained using the analytical platform of gas chromatography with mass-selective detection are presented. The products of basic metabolism, phenol compounds, as well as mono-, sesqui-, and triterpenes were detected in the composition of metabolic pool. The main components of Dracocephalum nutans essential oil are germacrene D and B, (E)-caryophyllene, α-humulene, β-elemene, hexahydroxyfarnesylacetone and bicyclogermacrene. Oleanolic, ursolic, corosolic and maslinic acids, as well as rosmarinic acid, salvianic acid A (danshensu) and a number of other biologically active compounds were found in the methanol extracts. To describe the results of such non-targeted profiling, the term “molecular resource” is proposed.
