Abstract: Aim To analyse the chemical constituents of the essential oil extracted from the rhizome and root of Notopterygium incisum Ting ex H.T. Chang,providingscientific basis for quality control. Methods The total essential oil was extracted by water-steam distillation and separated by capillary gas chromatography (GC). The components were determined bynormalization method, and identified by GC-MS. Results GC-MS exhibited 242 peaks and 83 compounds were identified, accounting for 75.77% of the total essential oil. Conclusion In the total essential oil of the rhizome and root of N. incisum, monoterpenes and sesquiterpenes accountedfor 13.63% and 67.93%, respectively, in which (1S)-β-pinene (1.67%), 3-carene (1.05%), limonene (1.22%), and 1S-endo-bornyl acetate (1.68%) as the monoterpenes and its derivatives, and (+)-β-elemene(6.78%), sativene(1.54%), α-caryophyllene (2.64%), germacrene D (1.67%), eudesma-4 (14),11-diene(2.36%), α-selinene(2.42%), δ-cadinene(1.55%), 3,7,11-trimethyl-2,6,10-dodecatrien-1-ol (1.03%), (±)-elemol (5.18%), (-)-spathulenol (1.40%), guaiol (3.81%), dehydroxy-isocalamendiol (1.06%), γ-eudesmol (1.05%), α-eudesmol (7.97%), bulnesol (3.09%),and carotol (2.30%) as the sesquiterpenes and its derivatives were main components. In addition, isopropyl trans-cinnamatewas the maximum compound (11.3%) of the total essential oil.
