摘要

The chemical composition and antibacterial effect of Artemisia siberi essential oil were studied in thisresearch. The composition of essential oil from aerial parts was analyzed by GC/MS and its antibacterial effectwere determined by disc diffusion method. Artemisia ketone (48.5%), 1, 8-cineole (19.7%), selin-1 l-en-4-a-ol(4.6%) and lavandulon (2.8%) were the major constituents of this herbal medicine. Inhibitory zone againstPseudomonas aeroginosa, Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli around discs contained100 mg mL~(-1) of Artemisia siberi essential oil were 18, 13 and 12 mm, respectively. Further studies for thedetermination of anti Pseudomonas infection in animal model are suggested.
