Background: Isodon rugosus belongs to the family Lamiaceae and is an important aromatic shrub, distributed widely throughout the northern temperate regions of the Himalaya. Regardless of the various traditional usage and diverse biological activities, little data exists on the essential oil composition of I. rugosus populations. This study aimed to characterize the essential oil of I. rugosus collected from two locations (Ghangaria and Tapovan) of Garhwal region of western Himalaya for occurrence of new composition.
Methods: The shade dried plant materials were hydrodistilled in a Clevenger’s type apparatus for 3 h for isolation of their essential oils. The resulting essential oils were analysed using gas chromatography-flame ionization detector (GC-FID) and GC-mass spectrometry (GC-MS).
