“…β-caryophyllene (8.04 ± 0.03%), the fourth compound of this oil, showed moderate activity (IC 50 = 13.76 g/ml), while caryophyllene oxide (2.20%; IC 50 = 17.67 g/ml), α-cedrene (1.01%; IC 50 = 4.06 g/ml) and limonene (0.13%; IC 50 = 4.24 g/ml) were more effective. (E)-nerolidol (2.38 %) showed an interesting activity with an IC 50 value of 1.70 g/ml (Bero et al, 2014) similar to that (IC 50 =1.16 g/ml) obtained from the oil. Furthermore, Figure 1.…”

“…The essential oil of Sb contains active compounds as myrcene (IC 50 = 2.24 g/ml), limonene (IC 50 = 4.24 g/ml), α-pinene (IC 50 = 4.09 g/ml), while sabinene (IC 50 = 17.67 g/ml), aromadendrene (IC 50 = 18.77 g/ml), βcaryophyllene (IC 50 = 13.76 g/ml) and caryophyllene oxide (IC 50 = 17.67 g/ml) had moderate activity. Other compounds as β-pinene (IC 50 = 47.37 g/ml), p-cymene (IC 50 = 76.32 g/ml), linalool (IC 50 = 39.26 g/ml) and thymol (IC 50 = 22.83 g/ml) had low activities (Bero et al, 2014). All these compounds do not explain the interesting activity (IC 50 = 0.46 g/ml) of this essential oil.…”

“…and L. M. Perry Cheel and Kunzea ericoides (A. Rich) Joy Thomps, showed anti-trypanosomal activities, respectively with IC 50 values of 16.90, 0.50, 1.90 and 13.60 µg/ml (Bero et al, 2014). It was also reported that the ethanolic extract of Pg leaf was able to produce alterations in the biochemical parameters in the kidney and liver of rats experimentally infected with T. brucei brucei (Adeyemi and Akanji, 2011).…”

“…These oils show an interesting anti-trypanosomal activity, the most interesting being Pg (IC 50 = 1.16 ± 0.16 g/ml) and Sb (IC 50 = 0.46 ± 0.28 g/ml). According to Bero et al (2014), Ec oil has a moderate antitrypanosomal activity (2 ≤ IC 50 ≤ 20 g/ml). While the other oils exhibited good activities (IC 50 ≤ 2 g/ml) and could be of interest for future development (Bero et al, 2014).…”

“…According to Bero et al (2014), Ec oil has a moderate antitrypanosomal activity (2 ≤ IC 50 ≤ 20 g/ml). While the other oils exhibited good activities (IC 50 ≤ 2 g/ml) and could be of interest for future development (Bero et al, 2014). The activity of Sb oil was not significantly different (P value = 0.1628> 0.1) than that of suramin (IC 50 = 0.11 ± 0.02 µg/ml), the standard compound used against this parasite.…”

Sclerocarya birrea (Sb), Psidium guajava (Pg) and Eucalyptus camaldulensis (Ec) are widely used in traditional medicine for the treatment of many diseases, some of which were related to oxidative stress and parasitic diseases. Their essential oils (EO) were analyzed by GC/MS and FID and tested in vitro for their antioxidant activities (DPPH), their anti-trypanosomal and anti-plasmodial activities against Trypanosoma brucei brucei (Tbb) (strain 427) and Plasmodium falciparum (Pf) (strain 3D7), respectively. Cytotoxicity was evaluated in vitro against CHO and WI38 cells (MTT) to evaluate the selectivity. They were shown to possess low antioxidant but a strong anti-trypanosomal and a good antiplasmodial activity with a good selectivity, except Ec oil whose anti-plasmodial activity was less interesting. Sb oil was the most active against Tbb(IC 50 = 0.46 ± 0.28 µg/ml) and Pf (5.21 ± 1.12 µg/ml). All tested oils had low or no cytotoxicity against CHO and WI38 cells. GC/MS and GC/FID analysis revealed that composition of Sb (49 compounds) was characterised by the presence as main constituents of 7-epi-αselinene, α-muurolene and valencene; Pg (60 compounds) by β-bisabolene, ar-curcumene and βbisabolol; Ec (43 compounds) by γ-terpinene and p-cymene. The activity of these oils seems to be the result of a synergistic action of all their constituents, including minor ones. This study shows that essential oils of Sb and Pg can be good sources of anti-trypanosomal and anti-plasmodial agents.
