Abstract: The volatile oil in the stems and leaves of Seseli seseloides Hiroe. was extracted by steam distillation method with an extraction rate of 1.33%. GC-MS was used to analyze the chemical composition of the oil and the antibacterial activity was also measured. Under the optimal analytical conditions, 37 peaks were separated and 31 of them were identified, accounting for 93.7% of the total volatile oil. The major compounds were nutmeg ether (64.05%), celery brain (8.98%), dimethoxy butane (2.09%), benzofuran, 2,3-dihydro-(1.87%), hong tree ene(1.35%), guaiacyl-ene(1.37%), etc. The results of antibacterial experiments showed that the oil had strong inhibitory effect on the growth of Staphylococcus aureus, Escheichia coli and Shigella dysenteriae.

Key words: Seseli seseloides Hiroe., volatile oil, gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), antibacterial activity
