Chemical constituents of the essential oil of flowers of Lavandula officinalis Chaix. growing in Isfahan, Iran, were studied by TLC and gas chromatography-mass specrtometery (GC-MS) methods. Twelve components which constitute 94.8% of the examined oil were identified. The main constituents were linalool (34.1%), 1,8-cineole (18.5%), borneol (14.5%), camphor (10.2%), terpinen-4-ol (4.5%), l...

a comparative study was made between the acaricidal activities of some essential oils: rosemary (rosmarinus officinalis l.), lavandula (lavandula angustifolia mill.), thyme (thymus vulgaris l.) and ziziphora (ziziphora clinopodioides lam.) on the important mite pest, tetranychus cinnabarinus boisduval, the carmine spider mite, oncut roses during 2010-2012. the sublethal concentrations of ziziph...

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...

The effect of pretreatment with essential oils (EOs) from eight aromatic plants on the seizure latency and severity of pentylenetetrazol- (PTZ-) induced seizures in mice was evaluated. Weight-dependent doses of Rosmarinus officinalis, Ocimum basilicum, Mentha spicata, Mentha pulegium, Lavandula angustifolia, Mentha piperita, Origanum dictamnus, and Origanum vulgare, isolated from the respective...
