	abstract = {The effect of an extract of Thymus vulgaris on induced spasms was investigated on guinea-pig trachea preparations. By the experimental setup used, effects of ethanol as the vehicle could be differentiated from the activity of the herbal constituents. The extract reversibly and concentration-dependently antagonized the contraction of the Musculus transversus tracheae, provoked by four different spasmogens (BaCl2, carbachol, histamine, prostaglandin F-2 alpha). The degree of the antispasmodic activity was dependent on the individual spasmogen with prostaglandin F-2 alpha being most efficiently antagonized.},
