The hydrodistilled essential oil from aerial parts of Hedera sinensis (Tobl.) Hand.-Mazz. (Araliaceae) was investigated gas chromatography coupled with a mass spectrometry (GC-MS) for the first time. Forty-one compounds, accounting for 96.9% of the total oil, were identified. The most abundant constituents of the essential oil were (E)-asarone (25.6%) and epizonarene (17.8%). The other minor constituents were germacrene B (6.6%), germacrene D (5.7%), δ-elemene (5.2%), 10-epi-γ-eudesmol (4.0%), sabinene (3.5%), allo-aromadendrene (3.2%) and (Z)-asarone (3.1%). The oil was found to be rich in sesquiterpene hydrocarbon (46.3%) type constituents.

Keywords:
