Abstract: Aim To analyse the chemical constituents of the essential oil extracted from the rhizome and root of Notopterygium forbesii Boiss. and provide scientific 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 by normalization method, and identified by GC-MS. Results GC-MS exhibited 217 peaks and 100 compounds were identified, accounting for 78.3% of the total essential oil. Conclusion In the total essential oil of the rhizome and root of N. forbesii, monoterpenes and sesquiterpenes account for 41.30% and 32.65%, respectively, in which (1R)-α-pinene (3.98%), sabinene (2.51%), (1S)-β-pinene (5.78%), m-cymene (4.05%), limonene (3.55%), 3, 7-dimethyl-1, 3, 7-octatriene (3.98%), γ-terpinene (8.70%), anisole (1.78%) and (1S)-endo-bornyl acetate (2.62%) as the monoterpenes and its derivatives, and (+)-β-elemene (1.17%), α-bulnesene (1.40%), (+)-β-bisabolene (1.21%), (±)-elemol (1.42%), guaiol (1.14%), dehydroxyisocalamendiol (1.13%), (-)-aristolene (1.99%), bulnesol (9.48%), γ-eudesmol (1.77%), guai-1 (10)-en-11-ol (1.12%) and α-bisabolol (5.35 %) as the sesquiterpenes and its derivatives are the main components.
