ABSTRACT . The chemical composition of the essential oil obtained by hydrodistillation from aerial parts of A . leucotrichus Cosson & Durieu (Apiaceae) grown in the south of Algeria (El-Oued) was determined by GC-MS analysis. The oil was found to be rich in perilladehyde 64.66% and D-Limonene 26.99%. The biological activity of A. leucotrichus Cosson & Durieu essential oil has been investigated. The in vitro antimicrobial activity of the essential oil sample was tested on eight strains, one yeast and one fungi. The test showed interesting antimicrobial properties, especially on Salmonella enterica and E. coli , the antioxidant capacity of the oil was measured using the cyclic voltammetry, and the AAT value of A . leucotrichus essential oil was evaluated 47.84 mg α-TE/L. In addition, the antitumor activity showed that the oil of A . leucotrichus was very significant against the HCT116 colon cancer cell line.
