Study on Composition and Pancreatic lipase Inhibition Activity of Five Chemotype Essential Oils of Camphor Tree
Chemical composition of five different chemotype essential oils from camphor tree was tested using GC and GC-MS methods.The results indicated that the high content components among the five chemotype of essential oils were linalool(91.98%),camphor(81.25%),borneol(91.88%),trans-nerolidol(52.63%)and eucalyptol(57.73%).Moreover,pancreatic lipase inhibitory activity of different chemotype essential oils was also studied.The pancreatic lipase inhibition activity of essential oils showed that the comparison of chemotype was as follows:trans-nerolidol chemotype>eucalyptol chemotype>linalool chemotype>camphor chemotype>borneol chemotype.The IC50 value of trans-nerolidol chemotype was(20.02±3.27)mg/mL,and the enzyme inhibition ratio can reach up to 90.17%±1.56%on concentration of 100 mg/mL.
