The analysis of the essential oil from rhizome and roots of Ferula hermonis Boiss. (Apiaceae) by GC–FID,
GC–MS and 13C NMR allowed the identification of 79 constituents, more than 90% of the oil, the major one
being a-pinene (43.3%), followed by a-bisabolol (11.1%) and the unusual acetylenic compound 3,5-nonadiyne
(4.4%).
The antifungal activity of the essential oil before and after fractionation was assayed against several
yeasts and filamentous fungi. Purification of the active fractions afforded 3,5-nonadiyne, a-bisabolol,
jaeschkeanadiol angelate, a-bisabolol oxide B and trans-verbenol, as well as two purified fractions, one
of them (JB73) with 73% of jaeschkeanadiol benzoate and the other with 50% of spathulenol. Determination
of MIC and MFC values of all these products evidenced strong antifungal activities for JB73 and
3,5-nonadiyne. Particularly, against the dermatophyte Tricophyton mentagrophytes, MIC and MFC values
were 0.25 lg/ml for JB73, and 8 lg/ml for 3,5-nonadiyne, the former being more active than amphotericin
B and nystatin.
