Cytotoxicity was expressed as cytopathogenic effect. Most of the oils and compounds displayed strong antiviral effects against HSV-1, ranging between 0.8 and 0.025 mu g mL(-1). However, the samples tested were less effective against PI-3, with results ranging between 1.6 and 0.2 mu g mL(-1). The essential oil of A. graveolens was the-most active. Most of the tested oils and compounds exhibited good antibacterial and antifungal effects.en10.3906/biy-0912-30info:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessEssential oilantiviralantibacterialantifungalcytotoxicityArticle363239246Q2WOS:000304071800001Q3
