“…This result is in line with that of Blumea mollis leaf oil (MIC value of 125 μg/mL). 18 By contrast, the leaf oil exerted an MIC value of 200 μg/mL against the Gram-negative bacterium Escherichia coli , but the twig oil was inactive. The leaf oil had MIC values of 50 and 100 μg/mL against the fungus Fusarium oxysporum and the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae , respectively.…”

Essential oils of two Asteraceae plants Blumea riparia DC. and Pluchea pteropoda Hemsl. ex Hemsl., collected from Vietnam, have been studied by hydro-distillation and GC/MS-FID (gas chromatography/mass spectrometry-flame ionization detector) analysis. Oil yields of B. riparia fresh leaves and twigs were in the range of 0.1–0.2%, whereas essential oil in the fresh aerial parts of P. pteropoda reached about 0.5%. Sesquiterpene hydrocarbons and oxygenated sesquiterpenes were the main chemical classes in the essential oils of B. riparia. The leaves and twigs of this species gave essential oils containing germacrene D (33.6-42.6%), ( E)-β-caryophyllene (11.2-11.6%), and bicyclogermacrene (9.3-12.1%) as the major components. Oxygenated monoterpenes and sesquiterpene hydrocarbons achieved the highest amounts in the essential oil of P. pteropoda aerial parts; 2,5-dimethoxy- p-cymene (43.5%), β-maaliene (14.0%), and α-isocomene (9.0%) were characteristic compounds. Particularly, as compared with related Blumea and Pluchea species, B. riparia and P. pteropoda, collected from Vietnam, might be good sources of germacrene D and 2,5-dimethoxy- p-cymene, respectively. The essential oil of B. riparia leaf successfully controlled the growth of the fungus Fusarium oxysporum, with an MIC value of 50.0 µg/mL, and the essential oil of P. pteropoda aerial parts showed significant antimicrobial activity against the Gram positive bacterium Bacillus subtilis and the yeast Candida albicans, with the same MIC value of 50.0 µg/mL.

“…The anitmicrobial activity of Bacillus spp is attributed to production of HCN, siderophore, hydrolytic enzymes and antibiotics [35]. It is also likely that the most effective biological control strains act via multiple mechanisms.…”

“…The plant have long been used to cure a variety of maladies, including skin infections, diarrhoea [8], asthma, dropsy, wounds [9], and parasites. Antioxidant, anticancer [10], antibacterial, larvicidal, hepatoprotective, and anti-inflammatory activities have also been documented for the plant's leaves [11]. Literature survey suggest that there are few studies on the extract of aerial part of Blumea mollis on the scientific basis.…”

Objective: The goal of this study was to test the ethanol extract of the aerial part of the Blumea mollis (Asteraceae) for acute and sub-chronic toxicity as well as anti-inflammatory efficacy. Methods: The shade dried aerial part of Blumea mollis (0.5 kg) was powdered and extracted with ethanol. Ethanol extracts was used for these studies. Acute oral and sub-chronic toxicity studies were performed as per OECD guidelines. The anti-inflammatory effect was studied by carrageenan-induced paw edema model in rats at dose levels 100, 200, and 400 mg/kg, orally. Results: The results indicate that ethanol extract of Blumea mollis was found to be safe at the dose of 2000mg/kg. The EBM 100, 200 and 400 mg/kg exhibited significant inhibition (p<0.001) of increase in paw edema in rats. Conclusion: The results of the experimental study confirmed that ethanol extract of Blumea mollis is devoid of toxicity and possesses significant anti-inflammatory activity.
