In 2009, a team from the Czech Republic analyzed the anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory properties of six Nigella species: Nigella arvensis, Nigella damascena, Nigella hispanica, Nigella sativa, Nigella nigellastrum, Nigella orientalis. Nigella orientalis was also studied in the laboratory for its antioxidant properties. [48] The essential oil of one of these ecotypes was analyzed in the Czech Republic. It contained 90% sesquiterpenes: β-lemene (68.8%), δ-cadinene (5.2%), β-selinene (4.3%), and α-selinene (3.3%). It is used in Azerbaijan for its nutritional and medicinal value. β-Elemene is a very powerful terpene in terms of its anticancer activity (brain, breast, lungs, stomach, etc.).
