Thymol (= 5meil-2-isopropil-1-fenol) is a volatile, refringent monoterpenoid, found in plants of the Lamiacea and Apiacea families.
Thymol is a naturally occurring phenolic monoterpene known for its anti-microbial and anti-oxidant properties. It is used in dental practice and in
anaesthetic halothane preparations.
Thymol show a broad range of pharmacological properties: antioxidant, acaricidal, acaricide, ovicide, antibacterial, antifungal, antifungal, antimicrobial,
anticonvulsant, acaricidal, fungicidal, gastroprotective actions on the acute and chronic ulceras larvicides, prevent acute lung injury, protection against
diabetic nephropathy, antiepileptogenic, anti microbial, anti inflammatory activity, etc.
