The essential oil of Cymbopogon martinii (palmrosa) and one of its main constituents geraniol were tested for anthelmintic activity (in vitro) employing the nematode, Caenorhabditis elegans. Both the substances showed potent anthelmintic activity. The ED50 of geraniol was found to be 66.7 mcg/mL, suggesting geraniol as the putative anthelmintic principle of palmrosa oil.
对马丁香茅(玫瑰香茅)精油及其主要成分之一香叶醇进行了体外驱虫活性测试,采用秀丽隐杆线虫作为实验对象。这两种物质均显示出强大的驱虫活性。香叶醇的半数有效剂量(ED50)为66.7微克/毫升,这表明香叶醇可能是玫瑰香茅油的驱虫主要成分。
