Abstract
Natural Azulenes have a wide range of therapeutic effects. The essential oil of some wormwood (Artimisea L.) contain high content of chamazulene. In the current study, essential oil of Artemisia sieversiana, Artemisia jacutica, and Artemisia macrocephala from Russia and Mongolia, were screen out through GC-MS. Analyses of essential oils showed that the presence of 49 individual compounds in concentration are over 0.1 %. The highest content of chamazulene was detected in A. jacutica (53.6 %), which is a great significance for medicine. Essential oils of A. macrochephala and A. sieversiana contain enough amount of the famous anti-inflammatory α-bisabolol. Our results suggest wormwoods in territory of Buryatia and Mongolia should be a great resource with the potential pharmaceutical value.
