  • Title: GLC-mass spectrometry of Teucrium polium oil.
    Author: Hassan MM, Muhtadi FJ, Al-Badr AA.
    Journal: J Pharm Sci; 1979 Jun; 68(6):800-1. PubMed ID: 458590.
    Abstract:
    The essential oil of Teucrium polium, growing in Saudi Arabia, was thoroughly investigated for its constituents by GLC-mass spectrometry, TLC, and spectrophotometric methods. This investigation revealed the presence of 10 terpenoidal compounds including the hydrocarbons beta-pinene, limonene, alpha-phellandrene, and gamma- and delta-cadinenes and the alcohols linalool, terpine-4-ol, cedrol, cedrenol, and guaiol. The oil was rich in alcohols and devoid of esters. Preliminary pharmacological screening showed that the oil possesses powerful antispasmodic activity.
