MONZOTE FIDALGO, Lianet et al. Antipreotozoan properties of essential oils extracted from Cuban plants. Rev Cubana Med Trop [online]. 2004, vol.56, n.3, pp. 230-233. ISSN 1561-3054.

The antiprotozoan activity of the essential oil extracted from Artemisa abrotanum, Chenopodium ambrosioides, Pinus caribaea, Piper aduncum and Piper auritum, was evaluated. The evaluated oils did not show activity against L. amozonensis; however, the oil extracted from C. ambrosoides showed a promising activity against Trichomonas vaginalis with a minimum inhibitory concentration of 25 mg/mL.
