Antimicrobial and antioxidant activity of essential oil and different plant extracts of Psidium cattleianum Sabine

Abstract: The goals of the study were to determine: the antimicrobial and antioxidant activities of essential oil and plant extracts aqueous and ethanolic of Psidium cattleianum Sabine; the chemical composition of the essential oil of P. cattleianum; and the phytochemical screening of aqueous and ethanolic extracts of the same plant. Regarding the antimicrobial activity, the ethanolic extract exhibited moderate antimicrobial activity with respect to bacteria K. pneumoniae and S. epidermidis, whereas, regarding other mic… Show more

“…The effectiveness of S. hispida can be justified due important to secondary metabolites, such as flavonoids and tannins, which have already demonstrated their antiinflammatory and antioxidant properties (Bahramsoltani et al, 2014;Scur et al, 2016). Published data demonstrate that pharmacological activity of S. hispida species reduces the inflammatory process induced by crude venom injection of Bothrops moojeni (Dourado et al, 2012).…”

“…In Brazil, there are six genera and about 100 species (Lorenzi and Matos, 2008). The members of this family have a wide diversity of chemical compounds, including limonoids, triterpenes, steroids, diterpenes, sesquiterpenes and coumarins (Cortez et al, 2000;Lago et al, 2000Lago et al, , 2002Soares et al, 2012;Scur et al, 2016). Limonoids are the most abundant compounds and, probably, the largest representatives of the class of terpenes with insecticidal activity (Luo et al, 1999).…”

“…Currently, there is a trend toward the use of natural substances and medicinal plants [19,20] and within this context, the results presented in previous studies with Psidium cattleianum aroused interest in its use as intracanal irrigant solution during endodontic treatment. Psidium cattleianum seems to be promising as intracanal medication during endodontic treatment [21][22][23][24][25][26]. Aqueous and ethanol extracts of Psidium cattleianum have shown remarkable antibacterial activity against oral microbiota, anti-inflammatory and potential anticariogenic effects, and tissue biocompatibility [22][23][24]26].…”

“…Psidium cattleianum seems to be promising as intracanal medication during endodontic treatment [21][22][23][24][25][26]. Aqueous and ethanol extracts of Psidium cattleianum have shown remarkable antibacterial activity against oral microbiota, anti-inflammatory and potential anticariogenic effects, and tissue biocompatibility [22][23][24]26]. However, determining the use and clinical application of this extract requires testing for cytotoxicity, sensitization [25], anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial activities [21,22,24,26], among other issues.…”
