Abstract AR

الزعتر، نبات واسع الاستخدام لأمراض الجهاز التنفسي (الكحة) خاصة المستخلص المائي لنبات الزعتر و الذي يستخدم في بعض البلدان كمادة أولية لتحضير العديد من المستحضرات النباتية.

تم استخلاص الزيت الطيار من نبات الزعتر بطريقتين مختلفتين و تمت المقارنة بين نتائج الطـريقتين باسـتخدام تقنيـة HPLC حيث كانت المركبات الأساسية هي الكارفكرول و الثايمول.

تم دراسة الفعالية البايولوجية للزيت العطري تجاه ثلاث أنواع من البكتريا و بتركيز (v/v 50/1) الزيت العطري المستخلص من التقطير البخاري باسـتخدام جهاز كلافينجر كان الأكثر فعالية من الزيت العطري المستخلص من التقطير البخاري العادي.

Thyme, is commonly used as a cough-medicine.

Especially liquid thyme extracts are in some countries a fundamental part of many galenicals with antitussive action.

Essential oils of thyme with different methods extract were compared by using HPLC.

The major constituent of the oils was carvacrol and thymol.

The biological activity against (Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae) was studied.

All essential oils inhibited all bacteria at concentrations of (1/50 v/v ), the Glavenger method was found to be the most effective one than the other steamdistillation extract.
