Phytochemical analyses of Geigeria alata (Benth. & Hook.) and Francoeuria crispa (Forssk., Cas.) (Asteraceae) essential oils were performed. G. alata oil showed moderate in vitro cytotoxicity (IC50, micrograms/ml against tumor cells; P388: 2.0, A-549: 2.5 and HT-29: 5.0), and also showed weak anti-HIV activity. S-Carvotanacetone, the major component of F. crispa oil (93.0%), was isolated and its structure was elucidated by 2D-NMR analysis.
