Citrus hystrix has been well known for its uses as food and biological activities. In this study, the chemical composition, antibacterial and antioxidant effects of acetone extract isolated from C. hystrix leaves and fruit peels were firstly investigated. GC/MS analyses results revealed that there were 56 and 87 chemical components identified from leaf and fruit peel of the studied plant, respectively. The leaf extract was characterized by the predominance of α-pinene, D-limonene, citronellal, caryophyllene oxide and n-hexadecanoic acid while sabinene, β-pinene, D-limonene, citronellol, citronellol acetate, dihydro-α-ionon, δ-cadinene, n-hexadecanoic acid were the major constituents in the fruit peel extract. The two studied extracts showed antibacterial effects against six oral bacteria, including Bacillus cereus, Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Salmonella enteritidis and Salmonella typhimurium and displayed a notable antioxidant activity in the ABTS assay with IC50 values of 38.59 ± 0.59 µg/mL and 85.89 ± 1.85 µg/mL, respectively.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
