The chemotypes of Ocimum forskolei Benth and Ocimum basilicum L. growing wild in Oman have been established by (13)C-NMR analyses of the vegetative and floral oils of the plants. The chemotypes, estragole for O. forskolei and linalool for O. basilicum, suggested by (13)C-NMR fingerprinting were also confirmed by GC-FID and GC/MS analyses. The oil of O. forskolei demonstrated better activities against bacteria and dermatophytes. The significance of the presence of estragole and linalool in the volatile oils of plants whose fragrances are traditionally inhaled, added to food, or rubbed on the skin are discussed.
通过对阿曼野生生长的福氏罗勒（Ocimum forskolei Benth）和罗勒（Ocimum basilicum L.）营养器官及花的挥发油进行碳-13核磁共振（¹³C-NMR）分析，确定了它们的化学型。¹³C-NMR指纹图谱显示福氏罗勒的化学型为草蒿脑，罗勒的化学型为芳樟醇，气相色谱-火焰离子化检测（GC-FID）和气相色谱-质谱联用（GC/MS）分析也证实了这一点。福氏罗勒的挥发油对细菌和皮肤癣菌表现出更好的活性。文中讨论了草蒿脑和芳樟醇存在于传统上用于吸入、添加到食物中或涂抹于皮肤上的植物挥发油中的意义。
