| Abstract: | Gas chromatography and GC/MS studies of Thymus baeticus Boiss essential oil showed its major component to be 1,8-cineole. The essential oil was found to present a marked spasmolytic activity in rat duodenum against acetylcholine via a non-competitive type of inhibition. This action was not related to its major component, 1,8-cineole. |
