A Chemical, Bacteriological, Toxicological and Clinical Study of the Essential Oil ofLippia multifloraMold. (Verbenaceae)

Investigations on the essential oil of Lippia rugosa from Cameroon for its potential use as antifungal agent against Aspergillus flavus Link ex. Fries

“…essential oils, the antifungal activity of Lippia multiflora and Lippia chevalieri, are the most often reported in the literature (Baba-Moussa et al, 1997;Pelissier et al, 1994). The results obtained in the present study showed that L. rugosa oil tested on A. flavus is more toxic than L. multiflora oil tested on A. flavus (Baba-Moussa et al, 1997).…”

Galenic formulation and antimicrobial activities of tablets made from essential oil of Lippia multiflora Moldenke (Verbenaceae)

“…The L. multiflora essential oil-containing tablets have therefore retained their antibacterial properties when probed upon pathogenic bacteria of buccal flora. The results obtained were in perfect comformity with those reported by Pelissier et al (1994) and Adon (1993), who used L. multiflora essential oil-mouth rinse and essential oiltoothpaste, respectively. The galenical formulation was reported to be highly active against isolated microorganisms (bacteria and fungi) of the buccal flora and thus supporting its traditional use in mouthwash in some communities.…”

“…A number of studies have demonstrated the antimicrobial properties of L. multiflora oils and its major components against a wide range of microorganisms, the same microorganisms of the buccal flora (Bassole et al, 2003;Oladimeji et al, 2004;Oussou et al, 2004;Kunle et al, 2003;Pelissier et al, 1994).…”

Antimicrobial agents from plants: antibacterial activity of plant volatile oils

“…The antimicrobial properties of plant volatile oils and their constituents from a wide variety of plants have been assessed (Lis-Balchin & Deans 1997) and reviewed (Janssen et al 1987;Jain & Kar 1971;Inouye et al 1983;Garg & Dengre 1986;Ríos et al 1987;Sherif et al 1987;Deans & Svoboda 1988, Correspondence to: Stanley G. Deans, Aromatic and Medicinal Plant Group, Scottish Agricultural College, Auchincruive, South Ayrshire KA6 5HW, UK (e-mail: s.deans@au.sac.ac.uk) © 2000 The Society for Applied Microbiology 1989; Cruz et al 1989;Recio et al 1989;Crespo et al 1990;Carson et al 1995;Larrondo et al 1995;Pattnaik et al 1995;Carson et al 1996;Nenoff et al 1996;Ríos et al 1988). It is clear from these studies that these plant secondary metabolites have potential in medical procedures and applications in the cosmetic, food (Ueda et al 1982;Shelef 1983;Jay & Rivers 1984;Gallardo et al 1987;Baratta et al 1998a,b;Youdim et al 1999) and pharmaceutical industries (Janssen et al 1988;Pélissier et al 1994;Shapiro et al 1994;Cai & Wu 1996).…”
