The essential oils of water-distilled aerial parts of Anthemis pseudocotula and Anthemis cretica subsp. pontica (Asteraceae) were analysed by GC-MS. As a result thirty-five and forty compounds were identified representing 93.1% and 89.0% of the oils, respectively. The main compounds of A. pseudocotula were 1,8-cineole (39.40%), camphor (9.36%), artemisiaketone (5.68%), filifolene (5.15%), and a...

An outbreak of the southern cattle tick, Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus, (Canestrini), in the United States would have devastating consequences on the cattle industry. Tick populations have developed resistance to current acaricides, highlighting the need to identify new biochemical targets along with new chemistry. Furthermore, acaricide resistance could further hamper control of tick pop...

the present study was designed to determine the effects of the essential oil of laurusnobilis l. (lauraceae) and its three main components on α-glucosidase and reactive oxygenspecies scavenging activity. the chemical composition of the essential oil from laurus nobilisl. leaves was analyzed by gc/gc-ms and resulted in the identification of 29 compounds,representing 99.18% of the total oil. 1,8-...

This work combined a micromorphological and phytochemical study approach on Lavandula angustifolia Mill. cultivated at the Ghirardi Botanic Garden (Toscolano Maderno, BS, Italy). The observations leaves flowers revealed occurrence of three trichome morphotypes: peltate, short- medium-stalked capitate. histochemical dyes evidenced huge production terpenes by peltate capitates, while short-stalke...
