Edraianthus pumilio (Schult.) A. DC.: Phytochemical and Biological Profile

Edraianthus pumilio is stenoendemic plant native to Dalmatia, Croatia. This paper deals with its phytochemical and biological profile. Phytochemical profile of volatile oil was performed by the GC/MS, while total phenolic content of its aqueous extract was performed by Folin-Ciocalteu method. The phytochemical analysis of volatile oil showed that the main volatile oil compounds were nonanal (21.2%) and myristicin (16.4%). Total phenolic content of aqueous extract was 30.6 ± 1.1 mg GAE/g extract. Results of testing antioxidant potential of E. pumilio volatile oil and aqueous extract showed low antioxidant potentials as tested by DPPH and FRAP methods. Results also showed low acetylcholinesterase inhibition potential of volatile oil and moderate potential of aqueous extract, as tested by Ellman method.
