Chemical composition of the essential oil of Valeriana alliariifolia Adams of Iran.
The volatile constituents of the essential oil of Valeriana alliariifolia Adams growing wild in Kurdistan, Iran were investigated by the GC and GC/MS techniques. Among the 26 compounds represented, 20 (96.3%) of them were identified as oil. The main components were: trans-caryophyllene (38.96%), beta-pinene (12.06%), alpha-pinene (9.94%), alpha-terpinene (9.49%), isoterpinolene (7.15%), 1,8-cineole (6.76%), 1-borneol (3.27%) and calarene (2.26%). Some of the physicochemical properties, such as the logarithm of calculated octanol-water partitioning coefficients (log K(ow)), total biodegradation (TB(d) in mol h(-1) and g h(-1)), water solubility (S(w), mg L(-1) per 25 degrees C) and median lethal concentration 50 (LC(50)) were calculated for the components 1-20 of V. alliariifolia Adams.
