- Observation Trichomes, ground system and vascular bundles were diagnostic at the species level among the studied Lamiaceae and Verbenaceae species.
- Observation GC-MS detected 160 essential oil constituents, mostly monoterpenes and sesquiterpenes, in all species except Citharexylum spinosum.
- Observation In Citharexylum spinosum monoterpenes amounted to 2.19%.
- Observation In Citharexylum spinosum sesquiterpenes amounted to 0.3%.
- Observation Essential oil of Mentha spicata L. tested in vitro against the HepG 2 cell line had an IC 50 of 58.9 ug/mL.
- Observation Essential oil of Lantana camara L. tested in vitro against the HepG 2 cell line had an IC 50 of 36.7 ug/mL.
- Observation Essential oil of Ocimum labiatum tested in vitro against the HepG 2 cell line had an IC 50 of 34.5 ug/mL.
- Observation The authors conclude that Lamiaceae and Verbenaceae are closely related, with fluctuation in shared morpho-anatomical characters among the studied species.
- Observation Essential oil analysis showed variation among the studied species.
