Taylor & Francis Group 2015 Datura metel L. essential oil GC–MS cytotoxicity 2015-09-29 00:00:00 Journal contribution https://tandf.figshare.com/articles/journal_contribution/Chemical_composition_and_cytotoxicity_of_the_essential_oil_from_different_parts_of_i_Datura_metel_i_L_/1568108 <p>The essential oil from different parts of <i>Datura metel</i> L. were extracted using hydrodistillation and GC–MS was used to analyse the essential oil. The main components of flowers were ketone (23.61%) and ethyl palmitate (15.84%). The main components of leaves were ketone (18.84%) and phytol (18.71%). Ketone (39.45%) and phytol (31.32%) were the major components of petioles. Palmitic acid (30.60%) and ethyl linoleate (21.56%) were the major components of seeds. The major ingredient of roots was palmitic acid (52.61%). The main ingredients of the stems were palmitic acid (38.38%) and ethyl linoleate (17.38%). All the different parts of essential oil were screened for cytotoxicity. The roots and stems showed the inhibitory effects against HepG-2 with IC<sub>50</sub> levels of 613.88 and 341.12 mg/L. The leaves and roots showed the inhibitory effects against HeLa with IC<sub>50</sub> levels of 267.76 and 348.35 mg/L. All the six parts have inhibitory effects against SGC-7901 cell lines.</p>
