The Achillea
L. (Asteraceae) are known all over the world and used widely by local people as
folk herbal medicine.  The species are
reported to have anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, diuretic, antispasmodic vs.
activities and have been used for the treatment of various ailments in Turkish
traditional medicine. This work it the first study on chemical composition and
biological activity of essential oil obtained from endemic plant- A. sipikorensis Hausskn. Et. Bornm
evaluated for their antiradical, antimicrobial and cytotoxic activities. GC/MS
analyses showed that cis- chrysanthenol (14.5%), 1, 8-cineol (10.9%),
caryophyllene oxide (8.5%), borneol (8.2%), and camphor (6.1%) were the major
constituents in the essential oil from aerial part of the plant. The essential
oil demonstrated good antioxidant, antimicrobial and cytotoxic activities.
