Carvacrol biological activities

Thymus sp. (thyme) is a common spice that has been extensively studied [116-123]. Thyme is one of the earliest medicinal plants in western herbal medicine. The essential oil isolated from this spice is active in the inhibition of Gram positive and Gram negative bacteria as well as yeast and fdamentous fungi. A major constituent of thyme oil is thymol (91), which has been implicated as the molecule responsible for the activity of this essential oil. Other materials isolated from thyme oil that possess biological activity include carvacrol (92), bomeol (93), p-cymene (37), a-pinene (13) and camphene (94). Thymol (91) was shown to be the most active, followed by carvacrol (92), borneol (93), / -cymene (37), a-pinene (13), and camphene (94) [121]. [Pg.598]
