The essential oils were analysed by gas chomatography-mass spectrometry: the major components were bornyl acetate (17.8-28.6%), β-caryophyllene (12.7-30.2%), α-pinene (4.6-9.5%) and viridiflorol (13.9-17.3%) in all samples. The essential oils were evaluated for antimicrobial and cytostatic activities and enzymatic inhibitions of xanthine oxidase, β-glucosidase and β-glucuronidase. Concerning the antimicrobial and cytotoxic tests, the oils showed interesting activities towards different Gram-positive bacteria (MIC 45-35 μg/ml), but had no effect against eukaryotic cells YR 2006 FD 2006 LK http://riull.ull.es/xmlui/handle/915/35844 UL http://riull.ull.es/xmlui/handle/915/35844 LA en DS Repositorio institucional de la Universidad de La Laguna RD 21-may-2024
