Abstract: To find the relationship between the chemical composition and geographic origin of Artemisia argyi leaves, leaf samples from Nanyang, Henan province and Xinjiang were comparatively analyzed for phenolic compounds and essential oil composition. The phenolic compounds were ultrasonically extracted with 60% ethanol, and then detected by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) using standard substances. The essential oils were extracted by simultaneous distillation extraction method and analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The results showed that the yields of essential oil from A. argyi leaves from Nanyang and Xinjiang were 2.644% and 0.805%, respectively. A total of 19 and 14 phenolic compounds were identified from A. argyi leaves grown in the two areas, with total contents of 13.43 and 9.75 mg/g, respectively. A total of 29 and 12 compounds were identified from the two essential oils different geographic origins, which accounted for 80.24% and 71.22% of the total amount, respectively. A. argyi leaves from Nanyang contained more abundant phenolic compounds and essential oils than those from Xinjiang.

Key words: Artemisia argyi, phenolic compounds, similarity analysis, high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC); essential oil, gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS)
