Merr., E meliaefolia (Hance) Benth., E oreophila Guill., E pasteuriana A Chev ex Guill., E poilanei Guill., E simplicifolia Ridl., and E sutchuenensis Dode Evodia calophylla Guill is distributed in many places of the Central Vietnam: Binh Dinh (Quy Nhon), Khanh Hoa (Nha Trang, Ninh Hoa), Kon Tum (Dac Glay, Kon Plong), Gia Lai (Mang Yang), Dac Lac (Dac Nong), Lam Dong (Da Lat, Bao Loc) It has been traditionally used for wound healing, blood cleansing, as a sudorific and against rheumatism (1) In the course of the systematic study of Evodia species from Indochina, mono-, sesquiterpenes and other components of the leaf oil of E calophylla from Nghean province, Vietnam have been investigated Experimental Source: Evodia callophylla (Rutaceae), is a shrub tree that can grow up to 8–20 m high in Vietnam Leaves were collected in Pu Mat National Park, Nghean province A voucher specimen (DD7) has been deposited in the Herbarium of the Institute of Ecology and Biological Resources, Vietnamese Academy of Science and Technology Fresh leaves were shredded and their oil was obtained by steam distillation for h at normal pressure, according to the Vietnamese Pharmacopoeia (2) The yield of the fresh leaf oil was 0.42% GC: About 15 mg of oil, which was dried with anhydrous sodium sulfate, was dissolved in mL of CH3OH (for spectroscopy or for chromatography) GC analysis was performed on a HP 6890 Plus Gas chromatograph equipped with a FID and fitted with 25 m x 0.25 mm x 0.25 mm film thickness HP-5MS column The analytical conditions were: carrier gas H2 with flow rate 35 cm/s, injector temperature (PTV) 250°C, detector temperature 260°C, temperature programmed 60°C (2 hold) to 220°C (10 hold) at 4°C/min The relative percentage amounts of the separated compounds were computed from FID data without the use of correction factors GC/MS: A Hewlett Packard 6890 Plus Chromatograph was fitted with a similar fused silica HP-5MS capillary column The conditions of use were the same as described above with He as carrier gas, and interface with a mass spectrometer HP 5972 MSD (70 eV) The temperature was programmed as reported Received: February 2005 *Address for correspondence Revised: December 2006 1041-2905/09/0001-03$14.00/0—© 2009 Allured Business Media Vol 21, January/February 2009 Accepted: December 2006 Journal of Essential Oil Research/3 Dung ˜ et al Table I Percentage composition of the leaf oil of Evodia calophylla from Vietnam Compound RI Downloaded by [Heriot-Watt University] at 09:32 06 October 2014 a-pinene 939 camphene 953 sabinene 976 b-pinene 980 myrcene 990 a-phellandrene 1006 limonene 1032 1,8-cineole 1034 1042 (Z)-b-ocimene 1053 (E)-b-ocimene 2-nonanone 1092 linalool 1100 allo-ocimene* trans-piperitol 1207 citronellyl acetate 1356 a-copaene 1378 b-bourbonene 1385 b-elemene 1391 b-caryophyllene 1419 (Z)-b-farnesene 1444 a-humulene 1454 allo-aromadendrene 1460 germacrene D 1480 bicyclogermacrene 1494 germacrene A 1503 (E,E)-a-farnesene 1509 d-cadinene 1525 nerolidol* caryophyllene oxide 1581 isospathulenol 1628 a-muurolol 1645 patchouli alcohol 1659 farnesol* trace < _ 0.1%;
