According to the Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis, the eyebright essential oil containing more than 70 constituents, with n-hexadecanoic acid (18.47%) as the main constituent showed a strong anti-fungal effect against all organisms, especially in the case of anticandidal activity.
Lauric acid found in the EO exhibited the strongest activity against a number of fungi. compared to other chemical constituents.
The Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) that exerted antibiotics against the bacteria and yeast susceptible to the EO was in accordance with the Clinical Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) acceptable limits and previous reports, respectively.
Based on the results, researchers suggest, "the chemical analysis revealed a number of antimicrobial active substances present in the E. rostkoviana EO and its antifungal and antibacterial activity...".
