    Journal: Pharm Weekbl Sci; 1984 Aug 24; 6(4):157-60. PubMed ID: 6483572.
    Abstract:
    The essential oil from herb of Ducrosia anethifolia (DC.) Boiss., growing wild in Iran, was investigated by LSC, GLC and GC-MS. The oil consisted mainly of aliphatic compounds. alpha-Pinene, myrcene and limonene were main components of the hydrocarbons present in the oil, while n-decanal, n-dodecanal, n-decanol, trans-2-dodecenal, and cis-chrysanthenyl acetate were the major oxygen-containing constituents. The oil and the main oxygen-containing aliphatic components showed a remarkable antimicrobial activity against gram-positive bacteria, a yeast, and some dermatophytes.
