“…found that the essential oil of Pinus halepensis was dominated by hydrocarbon compounds (80.6 %) and it showed antimicrobial effect against Lysteria monocytogenes , Enterococcus faecalis , Pseudomonas aeruginosa , Acinetobacter baumanii , Citrobacter freundii and Klebsiella pneumoniae . Carvacrol was also reported by, [41] with other compounds present in essential oils of Zataria multiflora which inhibited food borne pathogens S. aureus and E. coli . Gram‐negative bacteria were more resistant than Gram‐positive bacteria, this was attributed to Gram negative bacterias′ distinctive structure; hence they are expected to cause significant morbidity and mortality worldwide therefore, they were given the priority by the world health organization [42] (Breijyeh.…”

The main objectives of this study were to investigate the intraspecific and inter-specific phytochemical diversity and classification of nine important medicinal plant species from Tabuk region (KSA), namely (Pulicaria undulata L., Pulicaria incisa Lam., Artemisia herba-alba Asso., Artemisia monosperma Delile, Artemisia judaica L. and Achillea fragrantissima Forssk. from Asteraceae family, Ducrosia flabellifolia Boiss. from Apiaceae family, Thymus vulgaris L. and Lavandula coronopifolia Poir. from Lamiaceae family); to evaluate the antibacterial potentials of the plant extracts, and to inspect the possible associations between phytochemical diversity and contents of different phytochemical classes with the antibacterial activities of plant extracts. GC/MS technique was used to identify phytochemicals in the plant extracts. The standard disk diffusion technique was used to conduct the antibiotic susceptibility against four pathogenic bacterial species (two Gram positive: Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus subtilis and two Gram negative species:Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Escherichia coli. A total of 160 different phytochemicals belonging to 30 compound classes were separated and identified. A. fragrantissima had the highest phytochemical diversity and P. incisa had the lowest one. Phytochemical beta diversity was 6.2362. Ethanol outperformed other extraction solvents in terms of antibacterial activity, while Pulicaria undulata and T. vulgaris ranked highest among plants in this regard. Gram positive bacterial species were more sensitive to plant extracts compared to Gram negative species. Phytochemical diversity and antibacterial activity of plant extracts against E. coli and P. aeruginosa were positively correlative, terpenoid and benzene & substituted derivative contents exhibited significant (p < 0.05) positive correlations with the antibacterial activity against E. coli, terpenoid contents also showed positive correlation with activity against P. aeruginosa; benzene & derivative showed positive correlation with activity against the rest of bacterial species, [a] Dr. A. A.

“…Thymol and p-cymene, which are the predominant components found in T. vulgaris extract, were identified by Refs. [ 36 , 37 ] in Thyme and Zataria multiflora essential oils. These oils have the ability to inhibit the growth of E. coli and S. aureus due to their antibacterial properties.…”

“…Currently, a large part of the research is devoted to the microbiological properties of a number of different polyphenol extracts, both naturally occurring [ 161 , 162 , 163 ] and synthetic complexes [ 164 , 165 ]. The results show that polyphenol plant extracts often have attractive antibacterial properties against individual species of different bacterial strains such as streptococci, bacilli, staphylococci, and even much more [ 166 , 167 , 168 ].…”

Numerous plant compounds and their metal-ion complexes exert antioxidative, anti-inflammatory, anticancer, and other beneficial effects. This review highlights the different bioactivities of flavonoids, chromones, and coumarins and their metal-ions complexes due to different structural characteristics. In addition to insight into the most studied antioxidative properties of these compounds, the first part of the review provides a comprehensive overview of exogenous and endogenous sources of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species, oxidative stress-mediated damages of lipids and proteins, and on protective roles of antioxidant defense systems, including plant-derived antioxidants. Additionally, the review covers the anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial activities of flavonoids, chromones, coumarins and their metal-ion complexes which support its application in medicine, pharmacy, and cosmetology.
