Study on Biomedical Prospects of Extractives of Pinus massoniana Lamb

Pinus massoniana Lamb has been used to heal some specific diseases in the Chinese Folk for a long time. In order to explore the wide utilization in biomedicine and spicery, the chemical components of helium extractives from the fresh wood of Pinus massoniana Lamb was studied by TD-GC/MS. The results showed that the main components were 1,4-Methanoazulene, decahydro-4,8, 8-trimethyl-9-methylene- (29.98%), 1,4-Methanoazulen-9-ol, decahydro-1,5,5,8a-tetramethyl- (10.32%), 1R-.alpha.-Pinene (8.33%), 1,2,4-Methenoazulene, decahydro-1, 5,5,8a-tetramethyl- (4.72%), Borneol (2.99%), Thujopsene (2.80%), 1-Phenanthrenecarboxaldehyde, 7-ethenyl-1,2,3,4,4a,4b, 5,6,7,9,10,10a- dodecahydro-1,4a,7-trimethyl- (2.53%), Bicyclo[2.2.1]heptan-2-one, 1,7,7- trimethyl-, (1R)- (2.52%), Caryophyllene oxide (2.40%), Tricyclo[5.4.0.0(2,8)]undec-9-ene, 2,6,6,9-tetramethyl- (2.32%), 1,3-Benzodioxole, 5-(2-propenyl)- (2.274%), Acetic acid (2.07%), Eucalyptol (1.70%), Eucalyptol (1.70%), Benzaldehyde, 4-hydroxy- (1.61%), etc. The analytical result suggested that the helium extractives from the fresh wood of Pinus massoniana Lamb could be used as industrial materials of biomedicines and spicery.
