✦ Synopsis


The essential oil from the leaves of Chenopodium ambrosioides exhibited antimycotic activity against the dermatophytes Trychophyton rnentagrophytes and Microsporum audouinii, at a concentration of 50 ppm. Its nature was fungicidal and it exhibited a broad antimycotic spectrum against dermatophytes. The shelf-life of chenopodium oil was found to be 360 days. The ointment of the oil prepared in petroleum jelly could control established ringworm infection in guinea-pigs during preliminary animal trials.
