Abstract:
Vitex pseudo-negundo, as a medicinal plant, grows
naturally in several regions of Asia. Several pharmaceutical and
medicinal properties of this species prompted us to investigate
constituents and quantity of essential oils in different parts
of this species. According to our findings, limonene, myrcene,
and caryophyllene oxide were the major constituents of oil
extracted from leaf, flower, and gramineous stipes,
respectively, of Vitex pseudo-negundo collected from Sabzevar
province at the north of Iran.
