Abstract
The essential oil (EO) was obtained by hydrodistillation from the aerial parts of Lepechinia radula Benth Epling (Lamiaceae) from Ecuador. Thirty-four compounds accounting to 93.4% of the total oil were identified. The main constituents of the essential oil were δ-3-carene (19.9%), β-pinene (17.0%), (E)-βcaryophyllene (9.7%) and (E-E)-α-farnesene (9.4%). The essential oil of L. radula possessed strong antifungal activity against Trichophyton rubrum (ATCC® 28188) and Trichophyton mentagrophytes (ATCC® 28185)
