Abstract
There are many active substances in the composition of Hypericium perforatum L. plant, which have different and complex structures and show different pharmacological effects. It was accepted as a medicinal plant by the World Health Organization in 2002 and it is given a detailed place in the monographs under the name Hyperici herba. In these monographs, the antibacterial, antiviral, antidepressant, protein kinase-C inhibitor and wound healing effects of the plant were described. It has been observed that there is no content analysis study of Hypericium perforatum L., which covers the entire region, regarding Hypericium perforatum L., which is widely grown in the Thrace region. For this purpose, St. John's Wort grass growing naturally in the provinces of the Thrace region was collected, and the essential oils of the plant were obtained by using the hydro distillation method after the collected herbs were dried. Chemical content analyses were performed in a GC-MS. The main components of the essential oil of the plant are sesquiterpenes (ß-caryophyllene, caryophyllene oxide, ß-selinene, α selinene, ß-farnesene, α-amorphene, spathulenol), alcohols (1-tetradecanol, 1-tridecanol, phytol, alpha cadinol) and fatty acids (pentadecanoic acid, palmitic acid, 9,12 octadecadienoic acid).
