“…In addition to increase the antioxidant status, EOLA has antimicrobial activity in vitro against Aeromonas spp. (Souza et al., ). Essential oils are usually complex mixtures of compounds that contain a heterogeneity of bioactive substances with antimicrobial activity, and they have received special attention as natural alternatives to replace growth‐promoting antibiotics in fish (Souza et al., ).…”

“…Its density was approximately 0.9 g/ml. The determination of chemical compounds of essential oils was carried out by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry, and the main constituents of the EOLA used in this study were linalool (816.4 g/kg), eucalyptol (38.2 g/kg) and α ‐citral (23 g/kg) (Souza et al., ).…”

“…In addition, essential oil from L. alba (EOLA) showed beneficial effects as antimicrobial against Aeromonas spp. (Souza et al., ). Therefore, it is necessary to expand the investigation of the effect of EOLA on nutritional physiology in other species of fish relevant to aquaculture, such as Nile tilapia ( Oreochromis niloticus ).…”

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of dietary addition of the essential oil from Lippia alba (EOLA) on growth performance, biochemical and haematological variables and survival after Aeromonas spp. infection of Nile tilapia juveniles (Oreochromis niloticus). Five diets were evaluated with increasing levels of EOLA (0.0 control; 0.25; 0.50; 1.0; and 2.0 ml/kg diet). After 45 days of feeding, the fish were infected with Aeromonas spp. followed by a 14-day period of observation. There was no mortality during growth assessment. The addition of 2.0 ml EOLA/kg diet improved feed conversion ratio and condition factor and increased lysozyme activity and haematocrit (Hct), and decreased plasma globulin levels compared to the control group. The survival of fish infected with Aeromonas spp. was higher in those fed with 2.0 ml EOLA/kg diet than in fish fed with 0.0-0.5 ml EOLA/kg diet. We concluded that the inclusion of 2.0 ml EOLA/kg diet is recommended for Nile tilapia juveniles, because it improved feed conversion, Hct and immunological activity, did not provoke metabolic changes, and increased survival after Aeromonas spp. infection.

“…Its reported antimicrobial activity also extends to Staphylococcus aureus [242], Candida albicans [243], Enterobacter cloacae [244], Listeria monocytogenes [245], Aeromonas spp. [246], and Streptococcus pyogenes [247]. In this context, Yang and colleagues recently demonstrated that when combined with cinnamaldehyde, citral changed cecal microbiota composition of non-vaccinated and vaccinated broiler chickens, reducing the incidence and severity of necrotic enteritis induced by coccidiosis [239].…”

Terpenoids, Cannabimimetic Ligands, beyond the Cannabis Plant

et al. 2020

Medicinal use of Cannabis sativa L. has an extensive history and it was essential in the discovery of phytocannabinoids, including the Cannabis major psychoactive compound—Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (Δ9-THC)—as well as the G-protein-coupled cannabinoid receptors (CBR), named cannabinoid receptor type-1 (CB1R) and cannabinoid receptor type-2 (CB2R), both part of the now known endocannabinoid system (ECS). Cannabinoids is a vast term that defines several compounds that have been characterized in three categories: (i) endogenous, (ii) synthetic, and (iii) phytocannabinoids, and are able to modulate the CBR and ECS. Particularly, phytocannabinoids are natural terpenoids or phenolic compounds derived from Cannabis sativa. However, these terpenoids and phenolic compounds can also be derived from other plants (non-cannabinoids) and still induce cannabinoid-like properties. Cannabimimetic ligands, beyond the Cannabis plant, can act as CBR agonists or antagonists, or ECS enzyme inhibitors, besides being able of playing a role in immune-mediated inflammatory and infectious diseases, neuroinflammatory, neurological, and neurodegenerative diseases, as well as in cancer, and autoimmunity by itself. In this review, we summarize and critically highlight past, present, and future progress on the understanding of the role of cannabinoid-like molecules, mainly terpenes, as prospective therapeutics for different pathological conditions.
