“…Tangjitjaroenkun et al [34] (Fig 6) [34]. In another study, Jirovetz et al [35] collected Z. limonella seeds from Kerala, southern India, and extracted them by steam distillation method. Forty-one different compounds could be identified in the essential oil of seed representing 98.3 % of the oil composition.…”

“…It was found that terpinene and sabinene (32.33 and 22.51%, respectively) were the major components in Z. rhetsa while the major components in Z. limonella were limonene and alpha-phellandrene (57.94 and 15.54%, respectively). Components from Z. rhetsa differ from two reports where the plant material was collected from India (Jirovetz et al, 1998;Naik et al, 2015). Sabinene (47.12%) was found to be a major component from Z. rhetsa seed (Jirovetz et al, 1998) but terpinen-4-ol, sabinene and 1-beta-pinene (25.43, 16.50 and 10.40%, respectively) were found to be the major components (Naik et al, 2015).…”

Background: Zanthoxylum rhetsa (Roxb.) DC and Zanthoxylum limonella Alston are spices for flavouring in indigenous Thai food. They are traditionally used as an aromatic, astringent, antimicrobial, antiseptic and antidiabetic agent. The purpose of this study is to examine their chemical compositions and evaluate antibacterial, antioxidant and anticancer properties of the essential oils. Materials and Methods: The essential oils of Z. rhetsa and Z. limonella were analysed for phytochemical constituents by Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The antibacterial activity was determined against several bacteria using the microdilution method. Antioxidant capacity was determined by free radical scavenger 2, 2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and 2, 2-azinobis-3-ethyl-benzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid (ABTS) methods. The anticancer activity was determined with two breast cancer cell lines (MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231) and the normal African green monkey kidney epithelial (Vero) cell line and using MTT assay. Results: Sabinene (22.51%) and terpinene-4-ol (32.33%) were found to be major components of Z. rhetsa essential oil while limonene (57.94%) and alpha-phelladrene (15.54%) were the major components of Z. limonella essential oil. Essential oil from Z. limonella exhibited broad spectrum antibacterial activity. Z. rhetsa and Z. limonella essential oils exhibited moderate antioxidant activity. The essential oil from Z. rhetsa possessed the ability to inhibit breast cancer cell (MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231) proliferation and cell viability. Conclusion: This study suggest that the essential oils from Z. limonella and Z. rhetsa could be applied as safe antibacterial and antioxidant agents for food and have the potential for further development of new anticancer agents.

“…This last component was predominant in C. capitatum essential oil (39%), 9 while that from C. infortunatum contained large amounts of fatty acids and derivatives. 10 Benzaldehyde was also detected, but in minor amounts, in the leaf essential oil of C. trichotomum, which nevertheless contained a large amount (29%) of linalool. 5 In conclusion, C. buchholzii is completely different from these other species, even if the presence of aliphatic components or benzaldehyde seems characteristic of the genus Clerodendrum.…”

“…On the other hand, the essential oils obtained from roots and leaves of C. infortunatum were dominated by fatty acids and their esters (more than 60% of the whole oils, with palmitic acid as the main compound), along with some mono-and sesquiterpenes. 10 We report here the chemical composition of the leaf essential oil of C. buchholzii from Cameroon. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report on the essential oil composition of this species.…”
