The essential oil from the aerial parts of Iranian and British Thymus vulgaris L. were obtained by hydro distillation and analyzed by gas chromatography (GC) and gas chromatographymass spectrometry (GC-MS). Forty two components were identified in the Iranian Th. vulgaris essential oil that represented 99.06% of the oils. The major components were thymol (60.54%), γTerpinene (9.47%), p-cymene (8...

The Chinese medicinal plant Prunella vulgaris L. (PV) has been successfully used for centuries in China for treatment of non small-cell lung cancer. However, there is seldom report about its function on lung cancer prevention. In the current study, two lung adenocarcinoma cell lines (A549 and SPC-A-1 cells) and heterogenic transplantation mouse cancer model(subcutaneous inoculated C57 BL/6J mou...

abstract: essential oils are commonly used to treat minor health problems. in this study the chemical compositions of lavandula officinalis and thymus vulgaris were determined by gas chromatography and mass spectrometry. gc/ms analysis of t. vulgaris resulted in thymol as the major oil component where as methyl sulfony exhibited as the most abundant constituent of l. officinalis. the antibacter...

OBJECTIVE Microorganisms are responsible for many problems in industry and medicine because of biofilm formation. Therefore, this study was aimed to examine the effect of Thymus vulgaris (T. vulgaris) extracts on the planktonic form and biofilm structures of six pathogenic bacteria. MATERIALS AND METHODS Antimicrobial activities of the plant extracts against the planktonic form of the bacteri...
