Carcavrol from Thymus leptobotrys Essential Oil: Isolation, Comparative Antibacterial and Antioxidant Activites and Mechanistic Insights via Molecular Docking.

Carvacrol is the main compound of several medicinal and aromatic plant essential oils (EOs), such as Thymus leptobotrys Murb which is a Moroccan endemic plant. Carvacrol is a versatile scaffold that serves as a central model for the design and synthesis of new drug substances with promising biological properties. In this context, this study aimed to isolate carvacrol from T.
