The essential oil from underground parts of Ferula heuffelii from N.E. Serbia, was analysed using GC and GC-MS. The main compounds of the essential oil were elemicin (35.4%) and myristicin (20.6%). The essential oil exhibited the best antimicrobial activity against two strains of Candida albicans (MIC = 7.0 and 13.7 mu g/ml), as well as against Micrococcus luteus (MIC = 13.7 mu g/ml), Staphylococcus epidermidis (MIC = 17.6 mu g/ml), Bacillus subtilis (MIC = 21.1 mu g/ml) and Micrococcus flavus (MIC = 28.2 mu g/ml). In the DPPH radical scavenging assay, essential oil showed substantial activity with SC(50) = 22.43 mu l/ml. The essential oil was also tested for antispasmodic activity. It inhibited spontaneous contraction of isolated rat ileum dose-dependently, and at the concentration of 86.64 mu g/ml exhibited 50% of the maximum effect of atropine. After incubation with 75.00 mu g/ml of essential oil, acetylcholine did not induce contractions of ileum, and at 250.00 mu g/ml, the essenti...al oil almost completely abolished the spasmodic effect of potassium chloride (80 mM).
