Abstract: SUMMARYSteam distillation of essential oils of aerial parts of Thymus capitatus and Marrubium vulgare L. collected at North cost of Egypt yielded 0.5% and 0.2%, respectively. Results of Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry analyses of the two samples identified 96.27% and 90.19% of the total oil composition for T. capitatus and M. vulgare, respectively. The two oil samples appeared dominated by the oxygenated constituents (88.22% for T. capitatus and 57.50% for M. vulgare), composed of phenols, mainly carvacro… Show more

“…Sesquiterpene hydrocarbons were dominant in the essential oil from M. vulgare L., which is consistent with the research findings of many authors [7,20]. Sesquiterpene hydrocarbons were also dominant in M. thessalum [21].…”

“…A study performed by Salama et al [20] revealed that carvacrol was also the dominant component in the essential oil of M. vulgare L. with its content of 4.35%. This study showed a higher content of carvacrol in the oil of M. vulgare L. …”

“…Concerning plant species growing in Mediterranean regions, good examples include the larvicidal activity showed by essential oils from Egyptian Lamiaceae, such as Thymus capitatus Hoff. and Link., and Marrubium vulgare L. (LC 50 = 100 and 200 ppm, respectively) (Salama et al 2012), as well as by essential oils from Greek species belonging to the Satureja genus (Lamiaceae) (LC 50 ranging from 37.7 to 64.4 ppm) (Michaelakis et al 2008) and Mentha, Melissa and Salvia (LC 50 ranging from 47.88 to 140.42 ppm) (Koliopoulos et al 2010 (Kimbaris et al 2012). Also, essential oils from Greek Citrus species, including sweet orange (Citrus sinensis L.), lemon (Citrus limon L.) and bitter orange (Citrus aurantium L.), are effective toxics against Culex pipiens larvae (LC 50 were 51.50, 30.14 and 39.81 ppm, respectively) (Michaelakis et al 2009b), and similar results have been achieved also testing Apiaceae from the same geographical region (LC 50 ranging from 40.26 to 96.96 ppm) (Evergetis et al 2009).…”

“…The major constituents of the essential oil were reported as β-bisabolene, δ-cadinene, and isocaryophyllene [51]. In Egypt, Salama et al [52] reported that thymol and γ-cadinene as were the major constituents of M. vulgare oil. From Libya, EL-Hawary et al [53] investigated the main components of volatile oil of M. vulgare were carvacrol, E-β-farnesene, and thymol.…”

“…vulgare is an aromatic plant widely distributed along the Mediterranean area, in the North coast of Egypt. The essential oil from aerial parts of M. vulgare was evaluated for its molluscicidal and mosquitocidal activities on eggs of Biomphalaria alexandrina and Culex pipiens, respectively [52]. M. vulgare oil showed lethal concentration 100 ovicidal activity at 200 ppm/24 h. The identified amount of oxygenated constituents was 57.50% from M. vulgare, while the amount of identified hydrocarbons was 32.69%.…”
