Essential oils that were extracted by steam distillation from Origanum onites L. from northwest Turkey were analyzed using an Agilent GC-MSD system. Carvacrol was the major component (64.3%) of the oil. Both pure commercial carvacrol and essential oil at concentrations of 1.5%, 3.2%, 6.25%, 12.5%, 25%, 50%, and 100% (v/v) were tested for their effects against engorging Rhipicephalus turanicus, which were collected from cattle breeding in the region. Pure carvacrol killed all the ticks following 6 h of exposure, while 25% and higher concentrations of the oil were completely effective in killing the ticks by the 24th-hour post-treatment (p < 0.05). The concentrations of 6.25% and 12.5% killed all the ticks by day 2. Lethal concentrations for 50% (LC(50)) and 90% (LC(90)) of 2.34% and 7.12%, respectively, were detected 24 h post-treatment. These findings indicate that the essential oil of O. onites L. has potential to be utilized at reasonable concentrations to control tick infestations.
采用安捷伦气相色谱 - 质谱联用系统,对从土耳其西北部的牛至(Origanum onites L.)中通过水蒸气蒸馏法提取的香精油进行了分析。香芹酚是该油的主要成分(64.3%)。分别测试了浓度为1.5%、3.2%、6.25%、12.5%、25%、50%和100%(v/v)的纯商业香芹酚和香精油对饱血的图兰扇头蜱(Rhipicephalus turanicus)的作用,这些蜱是从该地区的养牛场采集的。暴露6小时后,纯香芹酚杀死了所有蜱虫,而25%及更高浓度的香精油在处理后24小时能完全有效地杀死蜱虫(p < 0.05)。6.25%和12.5%的浓度在第2天杀死了所有蜱虫。处理24小时后,测得半数致死浓度(LC50)和90%致死浓度(LC90)分别为2.34%和7.12%。这些发现表明,牛至(Origanum onites L.)的香精油有潜力以合理浓度用于控制蜱虫侵扰。
