Roots and rhizomes of Notopterygium incisum and Notopterygium forbesii (Apiaceae) are popular in China for use as Traditional Chinese Medicines. Qiang huo is the Chinese name for the root of Notopterygium species. Historically, Notopterygium Radix and Rhizome have been used as diaphoretic, antifebrile and anodyne. In the course of screening for novel naturally occurring biologically active compounds in TCM plants, we distilled essential oils from Notopterygium incisum and Notopterygium forbesii roots and N. forbesii rhizomes. Water distilled essential oils were analyzed by GC-FID and GC-MS and evaluated for antimalarial activity, antimicrobial activity against human pathogenic bacteria and fungi, antifungal activities against plant pathogenic fungi and insecticidal activity. Forty, 68 and 59 constituents were characterized and identified representing 99.8% in N. incisum root oil, 91.4% in N. forbesii root oil and 96.5% in N. forbesii rhizome oil. Major components of Notopterygiumessential oils were 26.5–42.6% a-pinene, 13.3–28.0% b-pinene and 4.5–8.9% limonene. Notopterygium oils showed no antimicrobial activity against human pathogenic bacteria or fungi, nor antimalarial activity againstPlasmodium falciparum. Notopterygium oils demonstrated non-selective antifungal activity against the plant pathogens Colletotrichum acutatum, C. fragariae, and C. gloeosporioides. Notopterygium forbesii root oil produced 60% mortality to 1st instar larvae of Ae. Aegypti at 15.625 ppm. Notopterygium oils also showed weak insecticidal activity against Stephanitis pyrioides, with 1% concentrations exhibiting 33.33–64.00% mortality.References: [1] Fuquan J, et al.
