Abstract

This study examined the phytochemicals and medicinal properties of the floral essential oil of O. basilicum purpureum from Nigeria. The GC and GC-MS analyses revealed the presence of twenty-five organic compounds making up 99.7% of the total percentage composition of the essential oil. The most abundant components was phenolic compound called methyleugenol (15.5%), followed by 2-phenyl-1-hexanol (14.0%), 1-(4,5-dimethyl-2-nitrophenyl)-1H-tetraazole (14.0%), 2-methyl-3,5-dodecadiyne (14.0%), o-nitrocumene (14.0%) and patchoulane (6.7%). The total phenolic content was quantitatively determined as 459 µgmg -1 gallic acid equivalent (GAE) confirming the presence of high amount of phenolic compounds in the floral essential oil. The DPPH IC 50 value was 1.0 µgml -1 , the essential oil was capable of scavenging free radicals in a range of 73-86% and the antioxidant power of the essential oil increased with concentration.
