in this study, aerial parts of lippia citriodora kunth were harvested at three phenological stages (i.e. vegetative, full flowering and fruit set). the essential oil isolated by hydro distillation for 3 h using a clevenger-type apparatus and the oil was analyzed by gc and gc-ms. the yields of oils (w/w%) in different stages was in the order of: full flowering (0.9%), vegetative (0.48%) and frui...

background: lippia citriodora kunth is one of the iranian traditional medicines for the treatment of convulsive disorders. the goal of this study is to investigate the anticonvulsant activity of the plant’s leave ethanolic extract against electro‑ and chemoconvulsant‑induced seizures in mice. methods: the anticonvulsant activity of the extract (200, 400, 800 mg/kg, per os, p.o.) was investigate...

The aim of the study was to characterize the chemical composition and biological properties of the essential oil from the plant Lippia citriodora grown in Greece. The essential oil volatiles were analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry GC-MS indicating citral as the major component. Τhe antimicrobial properties were assayed using the disk diffusion method and the minimum inhibitory and...

The inhibitory effect of Lippia alba and Lippia citriodora essential oils on dengue virus serotypes replication in vitro was investigated. The cytotoxicity (CC50) was evaluated by the MTT assay and the mode of viral inhibitory effect was investigated with a plaque reduction assay. The virus was treated with the essential oil for 2 h at 37 masculineC before cell adsorption and experiments were c...
