Abstract :Abstract: The volatile oil composition of Scolymus hispanicus L. was investigated. Essential oil of aerial parts were obtained through hydro-distillation and determined with GC-MS analyses. Fifteen compounds were determined in the oil insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(99.3%); of aerial part. The main compounds were heneicosane insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(19.4 %);, hexahydrofarnesly acetone insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(17.0%); and phytol insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(17.0%);. Saturated n-alkane derivatives insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(35.2%);, oxygenated sesquiterpenes insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(25.6%); and diterpene insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(17.0%); were dominated in the oil. Also, the antibacterial activity of volatile oil was studied against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus bacteria. But the oil did not show activity against the tested microorganisms at 80-10 mg/ mL concentrations. Here, it is reported for the first time on the volatile oil composition of S. hispanicus.
