Abstract(s)
Lavandula pedunculata (Mill.) Cav., Mentha cervina L. and Thymus mastichina (L) L. subsp. mastichina are
widely used and fairly representative species of the flora and traditional uses of the Côa Valley, a Portuguese
UNESCO World Heritage Site. L. pedunculata and T. mastichina are used by local populations to preserve olives,
as a condiment in traditional cuisine and to aromatize bonfires on Saint John's Eve, while M. cervina is mainly
used as a spice for river fish dishes. However, despite their popularity among the population and prevalence in the
territory of Côa Valley, these aromatic plants are still undervalued and scientific literature on their potential as
anti-cancer agents is scarce. Therefore, in this work we aim to study the therapeutic potential of the essential oils
(EO) obtained from these three species, by assessing their chemical composition, secretory structures morphology
and cytotoxic effect against glioblastoma cell lines
