The aim of the present study was to determine chemical analysis, antimicrobial and antioxidant effects Eurhynchium angustirete (Broth.) Isothecium alopecuroides (Lam. Ex Dubois) essential oil obtained by distillation method (Clevenger apparatus hydrodistillation). Obtained volatile oils were identified gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC/MS) which revealed presence twenty-two components an...

BACKGROUND Artemisia aerial parts are well known for antimicrobial activities including anti malaria. OBJECTIVES This study was carried out to evaluate the antimicrobial activity and chemical composition of essential oil from the seeds of Artemisia aucheri Boiss (Asteraceae). MATERIALS AND METHODS Essential oil was extracted from the powdered seeds of Artemisia aucheri by hydrodistillation....

The compositions of essential oils (EOs) from Spanish marjoram (Thymus mastichina L.) grown in several bioclimatic zones of Murcia (SE Spain) were studied to determine their absolute and relative concentrations using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. 1,8-Cineole and linalool were the main components, followed by α-pinene, β-pinene and α-terpineol. (-)-Linalool, (+)-α-terpineol and (+)-α-pin...

Human leishmaniasis covers a broad spectrum of clinical manifestations ranging from self-healing cutaneous leishmaniasis to severe and lethal visceral leishmaniasis caused among other species by Leishmania major or Leishmania donovani, respectively. Some drug candidates are in clinical trials to substitute current therapies, which are facing emerging drug-resistance accompanied with serious sid...

Pistacia atlantica Desf. (Atlas pistachio) is one of the most widely distributed wild species genus. It an Irano–Touranian with a large geographic area that extends from Canary Islands to Pamir Mountains. Since ancient times, atlas pistachio gum-like resin and fruits, very rich in essential oils (EOs) fixed (FOs), respectively, were used traditional medicine included different cosmetics health ...

Rosmarinus officinalis L. is widely distributed in Saudi Arabia. However, only a few studies have been reported regarding this species. In study, we investigated the phytochemical analysis of R. essential oil using GC-MS order to identify its major components; vitro antimicrobial activity was also evaluated disc diffusion assay against gram-positive (S. aureus) and gram-negative bacteria (E. co...

Plant-derived chemicals including aroma oil compounds have an ability to inhibit nerve conduction and modulate transient receptor potential (TRP) channels. Although applying aroma oils to the skin produces a local anesthetic effect, this has not been yet examined throughly. The aim of the present study was to know how nerve conduction inhibitions by aroma oil compounds are related to their chem...

Background: Suaeda vermiculata, a halophyte found in central Saudi Arabia, used as remedy for jaundice, liver diseases, and viral infection. Study aim: Chemical identification biological evaluation the n-hexane extract of S. vermiculata. Methods: An assay antimicrobial antioxidant potentials contents volatile oil plant’s aerial parts were analyzed through GC-MS analysis. Results: A total 24 con...
