%X Sa£¿etak The chemical composition of essential oils isolated from immortelle (Helicrysum italicum subsp. italicum) collected in Herzegovina during five different periods, was investigated by GC/MS analysis. The main compounds were a-pinene (15.7 %) and ¦Ã-curcumene (12.8 %), followed by 4,6,9-trimethyldec-8-en-3,5-dione (8.7 %), neryl acetate (6.9 %), limonene (6.4 %) and ¦Â-selinene (5.3 %). In total, 69 components were identified whose share changed over the vegetative cycle. Antioxidant activity of methanolic extracts of immortelle were determined according to DPPH (IC50 = 23¨C34 ¦Ìg/mL) and FRAP (29 ¦Ìg/mL is equivalent to 1.1£¿2.2 mM Fe2+) methods. Acetylcholinesterase inhibitory potential, investigated by modified Ellman¡¯s assay and determined as IC50 values, were 340¨C440 ¦Ìg/mL for methanol extracts and 135 ¦Ìg/mL for essential oil. Metanolic extracts showed strong antioxidant activity and potential to inhibit AChE. Essential oil possesses complex chemical composition, inhibition activity of AChE and weak antioxidant capacity.
