Abstract :
The essential oil of three Cymbopogon species has been analyzed by GC-MS. The major constituent of C.citratus was found to be citral (67%), geraniol (12%), geranyl acetate (10%) and limonine (6%). The major component of C. flexuosus was found to be citral (61%), geraniol (13%), geranyl acetate (8%) and limonine (6%). The major component of C. nardus was found to be geraniol (58%), citral (14%), geranylacetate (7%) and limonine (4%). These essential oils were evaluated separately for anthelmintic activity.The activities were better when compared to standard piperazine citrate.

تم تحليل الزيوت الرئيسة في ثلاثة من عائلة Cymbopogon بواسطة التحليل الطيفي الكتلي–الكروماتوغرافي الغازي.
و كان المحتوى الأساس في C.
citrates هو citral (67 %), geraniol (12 %), geranyl acetate (10 %) و limonine (6 %).
أما في C.
flexuosus فقد وجد أن المحتوى الأساس يتكون من citral (61 %), geraniol (13 %), geranyl acetate (8 %) و limonine (6 %).
و وجد أن محتوى C.
nardus الرئيس C.
nardus (58 %), citral (14 %), geranyl acetate (7 %) و limonine (4 %).
و قد درست الفعالية الحيوية لكل منها على حدة.
و كانت الفعاليات أفضل عند مقارنتها مع ليمونات البيبيرازين القياسية.
