The natural compounds such as essential oils are getting more attention due to their potential usage in pharmaceuticals and possibly as natural herbicides. This study was conducted to identify the chemical compositions of essential oils from Mill. populations collected from different regions of Iran, Turkey, and Germany, and their antioxidant (DPPH·, ABTS· and reducing power methods) and phytotoxic activity (against L.). The results exhibited a significant variation in essential oils content (1.74-2.97%). The main compounds in essential oils were -anethole (15.23%-90.11%), estragole (4.00-63.72%), fenchone (0.03-12.62%) and limonene (1.05-13.04%). The results revealed that the essential oils have considerable antioxidant (IC values in the range of 11.83-36.90 mg mL in DPPH, 7.65-20.13 mg mL in ABTS and EC values in the range of 3.65-15.24 mg mL in reducing power assay) and phytotoxic activity. The results of this study can help in the development of natural antioxidants and herbicides.
天然化合物，如精油，由于其在制药方面的潜在用途，以及可能作为天然除草剂的用途，受到了更多的关注。本研究旨在鉴定从伊朗、土耳其和德国不同地区收集的薄荷种群的精油的化学成分，并评估其抗氧化（DPPH·、ABTS·和还原力法）和植物毒性活性（对 L.）。结果表明，精油含量存在显著差异（1.74-2.97%）。精油中的主要化合物为 - 茴香脑（15.23%-90.11%）、黄樟素（4.00-63.72%）、葑酮（0.03-12.62%）和柠檬烯（1.05-13.04%）。结果表明，精油具有相当强的抗氧化活性（DPPH 中 IC 值范围为 11.83-36.90mg/mL，ABTS 中 EC 值范围为 7.65-20.13mg/mL，还原力法中 EC 值范围为 3.65-15.24mg/mL）和植物毒性活性。本研究结果可为天然抗氧化剂和除草剂的开发提供帮助。
