The seed oil of Teucrium depressum Small yields two unusual trienoid compo n en t s, all-cis-5,9 ,12-octadecatrienoic acid (6.7%) and trans-5,cis-9,cis-12-octadecatrienoic acid (2.0%). A third unusual component, identified as cis-5.cis-9-octadecadienoic acid, also occurs U; this oil as a trace constituent.

Composition of the essential oil obtained from dried flowering aerial parts of Teucrium scordium L. (Labiatae) was analyzed by GC and GC/MS. Fifty-six components were identified in the essential oil of T. scordium. The major constituents of the oil were beta-caryophyllene (22.8%), (E)-beta-farnesene (10.4%), caryophyllene oxide (8.6%), 1,8-cineole (6.1%) and beta-eudesmol (5.1%).

OBJECTIVES In food industry, the inhibition of tyrosinase is very important, because this enzyme catalyzes the oxidation of phenolic compounds found in fruits and vegetables into quinones, which contribute in undesirable color and taste of fruits and vegetables. Teucrium polium L. var. gnaphalodes (Lamiaceae), a wild-growing flowering plant that has many applications in food preparations and tr...

Objective(s) Current study was undertaken to investigate the analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects of the aqueous extract of Teucrium chamaedrys in mice and rats. Materials and Methods For evaluating of analgesic and anti-inflammatory activity, we used the carrageenan- and dextran-induced paw oedema, acetic acid-induced writhing, tail flick and formalin pain tests. Results The extract of...

There are some reports in ancient medicinal literature that aqueous extracts of the leaves of Teucrium polium show analgesic effects. This prompted us to investigate the analgesic effect of the leaves of the plant using Tail-Flick and Fomalin tests. For this purpose, male NMRI rats weighing 220-260 g were used in all experiments. The aqueous extract of the plant was injected intraperitoneally a...

primary dysmenorrhea is a prevalent issue and it can reduce the quality of life in many females worldwide. based on the properties of teucrium polium as a herbal medicine with analgesic and inflammatory properties, this triple-blind, randomized, placebo controlled trial was performed. the study aimed to evaluate the effects of teucrium polium on the severity of primary dysmenorrhea in students....
