  • Title: Composition and antibacterial activity of the essential oils of Stachys candida and S. chrysantha from southern Greece.
    Author: Skaltsa HD, Lazari DM, Chinou IB, Loukis AE.
    Journal: Planta Med; 1999 Apr; 65(3):255-6. PubMed ID: 10232072.
    Abstract:
    The chemical composition of the essential oils obtained from the aerial parts of Stachys candida and S. chrysantha were analysed with GC and GC/MS. Forty-two constituents were identified from the two oils and alpha-cadinol, manoyl oxide, caryophyllene oxide, epi-alpha-muurolol and (E)-caryophyllene were found to be the major components. Furthermore, the oils were tested against six Gram (+/-) bacteria and it was found that one of them exhibited significant antibacterial activity.
