Sažetak
Portenschlagiella ramosissima (Port.) Tutin syn. Portenschlagia ramosissima (Port.) Vis. fam. Umbelliferae, an aromatic plant from the Adriatic coast, has a limited occurence in Croatia and can only be found in Middle Dalmatia on limestone grounds. Previous investigations of the essential oil are limited and afforded contradicting results concerning the content of phenylpropanoids in the oil obtained from the fruits. Hence it seemed to be interest to analyse the essential oil composition of a sample collected in Croatia in detail with special attention to myristicin and other phenylpropanoids. Isolation of the oil by hydrodistillation yielded 1.2 % from the ripe fruits. By GC-FID and GC-MS analyses on fused silica capillaries with polar and non-polar stationary phases, respectively, 16 compounds amounting to 97.1 % of the total oil could be identified. Major constituents were γ -terpinene (41.0 %) followed by myristicin (25.3 %) and p-cymene (14.5 %). Further phenylpropanoids, eugenolmethyl ether (0.7 %) and elemicin (0.2 %), were only present in small amounts. As a conclusion, our results confirmed the occurence of myristicin in P. ramosissima. which is in contradicition to the publication of Harborne et al.Aside from the psychotropic effect of myristicin, the major compound in nutmeg oil, additional effects such as a hepato-protective activity which could be partly attributed to inhibition of TNF-α release from macrophages and an inhibition of benzo[a]pyrene-induced tumorigenesis by myristicin have been reported.
