Comprehensive phytochemical analysis of various extracts of Kickxia lanigera growing in Turkey

In this study, the phytochemical contents of the extracts of Kickxia lanigera plant from Baskil district of Elazığ province in Turkey obtained in different organic solvents (hexane, chloroform, ethyl acetate and butanol) were determined by spectrometric methods such as GC-MS/FID, ESI-LC-MS/TOF and NMR. The result of GC-MS analysis: palmitic acid (19.08%), oleic acid ( 18.76%), dotriacontane (13.08%), CHCl3; linoleic acid (38.13%), oleic acid (34.08%), palmitic acid (13.79%) were determined in high amounts in hexane. HPLC-TOF/MS analysis showed that the CHCl3 and BuOH extracts had low levels of standard phenols, and the main components in the EA extract (in mg/kg plant) were cinnamic acid (5.92), hesperidin (4.7), apigetrin (4.5) and p-coumaric acid (2.8). the 1H NMR spectrum showed that the CHCl3 and EA extracts were rich in phenols.
