✦ Synopsis

The essential oil from flower heads of Egletes viscosa L. was investigated for possible antinociceptive, anticonvulsant effects in mice and for antibacterial efficacy against resistant Staphylococcus aureus in vitro. It was found to possess a significant dose-dependent analgesic activity as assessed by acetic acid writhing and formalin tests and also an anticonvulsant activity against convulsions induced by pentylenetetrazol in mice. The plant oil displayed good antibacterial activity against resistant strains of S. aureus with the minimal inhibitory concentrations (MIC) ranging from 0.625 to 2.5 L/mL.
