To investigate the chemical composition and insecticidal activity of the essential oils of certain Chinese medicinal herbs and spices, the essential oils were extracted from the stem barks, leaves, and fruits of Cinnamomum camphora (L.) Presl, which were found to possess strong fumigant toxicity against Tribolium castaneum and Lasioderma serricorne adults. The essential oils of the plants were ...

PURPOSE Evaluation of oculohypotensive activity of single drop application of aqueous extract of Foeniculum vulgare in experimental models of glaucoma. METHODS The evaluation of oculohypotensive activity of Foeniculum vulgare was done in rabbits with normal intraocular pressure (IOP) and with experimentally elevated IOP. The experimental increase in IOP was achieved using water loading and st...

background: essential oils, as secondary plant compounds, present a safer alternative to conventional insecticides in insect control programs. so five essential oils including eucalyptus, mint, yarrow, oregano and rosemary oils were evaluated against the brown-banded cockroach supella longipalpa . methods : evaluation was done against the 3 rd and 4 th instar nymphs using three bioassay methods...

The antibacterial activity of essential oils extracted from Origanum compactum, Thymus capitatus, Foeniculum vulgare, and Rosmarinus officinalis was assessed with the well diffusion method a microbroth dilution assay against E. coli isolated carcasses rabbits. chemical composition these also determined by gas chromatography coupled mass spectrometry (GC/MS). results this study indicate that hig...

Fumigant toxicity and sublethal effects of essential oils from Artemisia khorassanica Podl. and Artemisia sieberi Bess were investigated against adults of Sitotroga cerealella Olivier. To assess the sublethal effects, adult moths were exposed to the LC30 of each essential oil, and life table parameters of the surviving S. cerealella were studied. Higher fumigant toxicity of A. khorassanica (LC5...

Connection between the developmental stage and the quantity and quality of essential oil was investigated in some model species of the Asteraceae, Lamiaceae and Apiaceae plant families. The accumulation of essential oil decreased continuously during ontogenesis in Tanacetum vulgare. The tendency of accumulation showed an optimum curve in Mentha piperita, Hyssopus officinalis, Majorana hortensis...

The objective of the current study was to determine the chemical constituents and fumigant toxicity of the essential oil isolated by hydrodistillation form Juniperus foetidissima. The chemical composition of the essential oil was determined by GC and GC-MS. The essential oil included large amounts of monoterpenes 51.4%, with citronellol being the major compound thereof, and sesquiterpines 42.4%...

Essential oil from seeds of Foeniculum vulgare was extracted on Clevenger apparatus. Essential oil was analyzed on Gas-Chromatography-Mass spectrometry (GC-MS) from which thirty six components were identified, among which 6 major and 30 minor components having different structural formulae and molecular weight representing total 99.98% of oil. Essential was investigated for its antibacterial an...

Background: Pulicaria gnaphalodes, Ducrosia anethifolia, Trachyspermum copticum, Foeniculum vulgare Mill and Majorana hortensis Minch are widely used as herbal plants in traditional medicine and they have been reported to have a variety of therapeutic effects. This study was carried out to evaluate the antimicrobial effects of essential oils (EOs) extracted from these medicinal herbs against si...
