“…For the case of the extracts, the MIC is 10 mg/ml for the methanolic extract and 13, 33 mg/ml for the aqueous extract. Also, Chouitah et al (2011) reported potent activity of Glycyrrhiza glabra oil against bacteria pathogens like Staphylococcus aureus (MIC 14.5 mg/ml), Salmonella typhi (MIC 14.5 mg/ml) and Escherichia coli (MIC: 4, 2 mg/ml). The antibacterial effect of our plant (G. foetida) may be due to the main constituents namely b-caryophyllene, limonene, b-myrcene and a-humulene already reported in other plant species (Jirovetz et al, 2006;Qi et al, 2014).…”

“…Our results were different from those previously reported. For example, essential oil of the of Glycyrrhiza glabra aerial parts from western Algeria was characterized by its high rate of Isoniazid and the chemical analysis showed that the major products were methacrylonitrile (9.69%), benzoic acid (5.37%), diethyltoluamide (6.56%), pyrazine, 1,4-carbon dioxide (2.20%) benzene (4.58%), linalool (2.25%) and bicyclo [4.1.0] hept-2-ene, 3,7,7trimethyl-(2.80%) (Chouitah et al, 2011). In Egypt, this same vegetable species (G. foetida) presented another chemotype.…”

This research was conducted to evaluate the components of the Mentha pulegium (L) and Glycyrrhiza foetida (Desf) that were extracted by hydro distillation and analyzed using GC-MS methods. They are spontaneous plants widespread in Gharb of Morocco. The aim of the study is to investigate the antibacterial activity of the essential oils and leaf methanolic extracts of these two medicinal plants against five phytopathogenic bacteria. The evaluation of the antimicrobial activity of the two species by estimating the diameter of the inhibition zone has shown that the essential oil of M. pulegium exhibited a higher antimicrobial activity than G. foetida which varied according to the sensitivity of the phytopathogenic strains. The results obtained revealed different degrees of sensitivity toward methnolic extract. However, the methanolic extract and the essential oil of M. pulegium are more active based on the Minimal Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) and Minimal Bactericidal Concentration (MBC). The antimicrobial activities of leaf extracts from the two plants highlighted in this study could justify their therapeutic use. These results should be strongly recommended as an alternative to a chemical compound that still represents the problem of toxic residues.

This study aimed firstly to determine the chemical composition, Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) and Minimum Bactericidal Concentration (MBC) of essential oils extracted from Ocimum gratissimum, Ocimum basilicum, Laurus nobilis and Melaleuca quinquenervia collected from Benin (West Africa) on five oral microorganisms (Micrococcus luteus ATCC 10240, Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 29213, Proteus mirabilis ATCC 24974, Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 27853 and Candida albicans IP 4872), and secondly to assess the influence of different tweens on antimicrobial potential of four oils against previous microorganisms. Using Clevenger apparatus, oil extraction was performed by steam distillation and the chemical compositions was determined by chromatography. The antimicrobial activity of different oils was evaluated according to microdilution method using ELISA microplates. From this study, Tween 60 proved best to others tweens (20, 40 and 80) by ensuring proper dispersion and distribution of oils. With tween 60, O. brasilicum essential oil proved the most effective of the four oils with the lowest MIC (0.078 mg/ml) and CMB (0.078 mg/ml) and is effective on all oral germs tested. Chemical screening of these species revealed the presence of several compounds among which thymol (30.62%), para-cymene (25.25%) and gamma-terpinolene (24.24%) (O. gratissimum); methyl-chavicol (85.92%) (O. basilicum); eugenol (42.50%), myrcene (28.09%) (L. nobilis) and beta-ocimene (29.62%), alphapinene (12.11%) and viridiflorol (11.85%) (M. quinquenervia). Ainsi, grâce à un appareil de type Clevenger, l'extraction des huiles a été effectuée par hydrodistillation et leur composition chimique a été déterminée par chromatographie. L'activité antimicrobienne des huiles a été évaluée par la méthode de microdilution dans des microplaques ELISA. Au terme de cette étude, le tween 60 s'est révélé meilleur aux autres (20, 40 et 80), car assure une bonne dispersion et diffusion des essences. Avec le tween 60, l'huile essentielle de O. brasilicum s'est révélée la plus efficace des quatre huiles, car elle présente les plus faibles CMI (0,078 mg/ml) et CMB (0,078 mg/ml) et est efficace sur tous les germes bucco-dentaires testés. Le screening chimique de ces essences a révélé la présence de plusieurs composés dont les majoritaires sont: thymol (30,62%), para-cymène (25,25%) et gamma-terpinolène (24,24%) pour O. gratissimum; méthyl-chavicol (85,92%) pour O. basilicum; eugénol (42,50%), myrcène (28,09%) pour L. nobilis et béta-ocimène (29,62%), alpha-pinène (12,11%) et viridiflorol (11,85%) pour M. quinquenervia.

“…Furthermore, many volatile components are present in roots, such as geraniol, pentanol, hexanol, terpinen‐4‐ol, and α‐terpineol, conferring the characteristic odour. The essential oil obtained from G. glabra is also rich in propionic acid, benzoic acid, furfuraldehyde, 2,3‐butanediol, furfuryl formate, maltol, 1‐methyl‐2‐formylpyrrole, and trimethylpyrazine (Chouitah, Meddah, Aoues, & Sonnet, ). Table summarizes the chemical structure of the most important compounds identified in G. glabra .…”

In the last years, consumers are paying much more attention to natural medicines and principles, mainly due to the general sense that natural compounds are safe. On the other hand, there is a growing demand by industry for plants used in traditional medicine that could be incorporated in foods, nutraceuticals, cosmetics, or even pharmaceuticals. Glycyrrhiza glabra Linn. belongs to the Fabaceae family and has been recognized since ancient times for its ethnopharmacological values. This plant contains different phytocompounds, such as glycyrrhizin, 18β-glycyrrhetinic acid, glabrin A and B, and isoflavones, that have demonstrated various pharmacological activities. Pharmacological experiments have demonstrated that different extracts and pure compounds from this species exhibit a broad range of biological properties, including antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, antiviral, antioxidant, and antidiabetic activities. A few toxicological studies have reported some concerns. This review addresses all those issues and focuses on the pharmacological activities reported for G. glabra. Therefore, an updated, critical, and extensive overview on the current knowledge of G. glabra composition and biological activities is provided here in order to explore its therapeutic potential and future challenges to be utilized for the formulation of new products that will contribute to human well-being.
