Patent 6,780,440 |
 | | Previous phytochemical investigations on Ferula hermonis revealed the presence of.alpha.-bisabolol and the daucane sesquiterpenes: 8,9-epoxy jaeschkeanadiol benzoate (epoxy ferutinol benzoate, (3)), jaeschkeanadiol vanillate (ferutinol vanillate, (4)), jaeschkeanadiol p-hydroxybenzoate (ferutinin, (1)), jaeschkeanadiol benzoate (Teferdin, (2)), jaeschkeanadiol (ferutinol, (5)), 8,9-epoxy jaeschjeanadiol (12), 14-(14'-hydroxybenzoyloxy) dauc-4,8-diene(6),and 14-(14'-hydroxy-3'-methoxy-benzoyloxy) dauc-4,8-diene (7). |
 | | In a recent study on HPLC analysis of Ferula hermonis, compounds (1), (2), (3), and (4) were quantified as the marker sesquiterpenes esters, with (1) and (2) as the major components. |
 | | In accordance with previous phytochemistry studies, the mass spectrum of a methanol extract of Ferula hermonis we obtained showed peaks in the positive ion mode at m/z=341 and m/z=371 corresponding to compounds (6) and (7), respectively; and peaks in the negative mode at m/z=357 and m/z=341 corresponding to compounds (1) and (2), respectively. |
