ABSTRACT
The composition of the water-distilled essential oils of the berries and leaves of Juniperus excelsa. M. Bieb. were analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The main components in the berries of J. excelsa., accounting for 56.1% of the oil, were determined as α-pinene (34.0%), cedrol (12.3%), L-verbenol (5.4%), and D-verbenol (4.4%) while in the leaves of J. excelsa., accounting for 63.2% of the oil, were found to be α-pinen (29.7%), cedrol (25.3%), α-muurolene (4.4%), and 3-carene (3.8%). Cytotoxic and antimicrobial potential of the berries and leaves of J. excelsa. were investigated.
