The chemical composition, antioxidant, antimicrobial and insecticidal properties of essential oil obtained by hydro-distillation from Bubonium imbricatum Cav. have been investigated. The essential oil of aerial parts was analyzed by GC-FID and GC-MS. A total of 63 compounds were identified representing more than 82% of the oil. The major components were cis-chrysanthenyl acetate (31.2%) and thymol isobutyrate (3.4%). The antioxidant activity was evaluated by the DPPH and reducing power test. The data showed moderate activity compared with the reference compounds. Our results showed strong activity of the investigated oil against all tested microorganisms. The highest antibacterial activity was observed against Bacillus subtilis (inhibition zone= 18 ± 0.21, MIC= 0.18 mg/mL). In general, Gram-positive bacteria were more susceptible than Gram-negative ones. Candida parapsilosis was the most sensitive among the Candida strains tested. LD50 and LD90 values were 33.1 and 53.1 ppm against 1-d-old larvae of Aedes aegypti L.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D007306	Insecticides	Pesticides designed to control insects that are harmful to man. The insects may be directly harmful, as those acting as disease vectors, or indirectly harmful, as destroyers of crops, food products, or textile fabrics.	Insecticide
D007814	Larva	Wormlike or grublike stage, following the egg in the life cycle of insects, worms, and other metamorphosing animals.	Maggots,Tadpoles,Larvae,Maggot,Tadpole
D008826	Microbial Sensitivity Tests	Any tests that demonstrate the relative efficacy of different chemotherapeutic agents against specific microorganisms (i.e., bacteria, fungi, viruses).

D009018	Morocco	A country located in north Africa, bordering the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea, with a southern border with Western Sahara, eastern border with Algeria. The capital is Rabat.	Ifni
D009822	Oils, Volatile	Oils which evaporate readily. The volatile oils occur in aromatic plants, to which they give odor and other characteristics. Most volatile oils consist of a mixture of two or more TERPENES or of a mixture of an eleoptene (the more volatile constituent of a volatile oil) with a stearopten (the more solid constituent). The synonym essential oils refers to the essence of a plant, as its perfume or scent, and not to its indispensability.

D002175	Candida	A genus of yeast-like mitosporic Saccharomycetales fungi characterized by producing yeast cells, mycelia, pseudomycelia, and blastophores. It is commonly part of the normal flora of the skin, mouth, intestinal tract, and vagina, but can cause a variety of infections, including CANDIDIASIS; ONYCHOMYCOSIS; VULVOVAGINAL CANDIDIASIS; and CANDIDIASIS, ORAL (THRUSH).
