The essential oil were extracted from the leaf of Phoebe bournei (Hemsl.) Yang by a hydrothermal method and then analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. The leaf oil mainly included α-copaene(5.44%), α-muurolene(7.32%), δ-cadinene(11.44%), 1s-calamenene(5.18%). Phoebe bournei (Hemsl.) Yang leaf essential oil had significant inhibitory activity against Epidermophyton floccosum and Microsporum gypseum, the potential antitumor activity towards leukemia, breast, and colon cancer cell lines was good. Phoebe bournei (Hemsl.) Yang leaf essential oil had weaker activity on the four tested bacteria, it exhibited a certain role in promoting glucose uptake by adipocytes.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
