Sažetak
Moltkia petraea (Tratt.) Griseb. (Boraginaceae) is an endemic, lithophytic, xerothermic Illyric–Balkan species distributed along the Adriatic Coast in Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, Albania, and Greece, mostly in Mediterranean and subMediterranean regions. It is very interesting species from the horticultural point of view which possesses the notable antioxidant activity. But, the data about chemical constituents of this species are very limited. The aim of this study was to investigate content of phenolic compounds using HPLC in ethanol extracts of leaves, flowers and stems of M. petraea from two mountainous localities (Mt Biokovo and Mt Sniježnica) in Croatia. Seven phenolic compounds (naringenin, quercetin, rutin, and caffeic, ferulic, rosmarinic, and sinapic acid)were identified and quantified. Among them naringenin and rosmarinic acid were identified in all extracts. On the other hand, quercetin (0.006%) was found only in leaves from Mt Biokovo, while ferulic acid (0.007%) was identified only in stems from the same locality. The most abundant compound was naringenin and its concentration ranged from 1.473% in stems from Mt Sniježnica to 4.241% in flowers from Mt Biokovo. The obtained results present worth additional knowledge on the genus Moltkia Lehm. in general, and particularly on the endemic M. petraea.
