“…Moreover, the studies reported by Ghaffari et al [58] regarding EOs having most abundant chemical constituents β-pinene, β-myrcene, limonene, and caryophyllene also demonstrated antimicrobial activity against some highly susceptible strains such as E. coli, C. albicans, and S. aureus. Furthermore, the antimicrobial activity of the investigated samples could also be attributed to the less abundant constituents of the WW EO such as 1,8-Cineole, γ-Terpinene and β-Pinene which were previously reported as having antimicrobial activity against a wide range of microbial strains [59,60]. These studies confirm our results and emphasize that the antimicrobial activity of the investigated samples is strongly correlated not only with the chemical constituents but it is also influenced by the synergies developed between the chemical constituents of the EO between themselves and also with HAp structure.…”

There is significant research showing that essential oils extracted from the plants have antibacterial effects. The purpose of this study was to develop a biocomposite based on hydroxyapatite coated with Artemisia absinthium essential oil and to highlight its antibacterial activity. Therefore, present studies are aimed at developing new materials combining hydroxyapatite with Artemisia absinthium essential oil, in order to avoid postoperative infections. The purpose of this work is to highlight the antimicrobial properties of the Artemisia absinthium essential oil-hydroxyapatite composites obtained by a simple method and at low costs. The structural properties and antimicrobial efficiency of the Artemisia absinthium essential oil-hydroxyapatite composite have been studied. The samples based on Artemisia absinthium essential oil analyzed in this study showed that wormwood essential oil presented the highest efficacy against the fungal strain of C. parapsilosis. It has been shown that wormwood essential oil has a strong antimicrobial effect against the microbial strains tested in this study. Furthermore, the antimicrobial properties of the biocomposites based on hydroxyapatite and essential oil are due to the presence of the essential oil in the samples.

“…The leaves haves chemical constituents like lignin, furfural and hemicelluloses, while rhizomes has 5,8-Henicosdine, Tetracosane and Tricosane (Deming and Tinoi, 2006). The water extract of rhizomes of C. indica has been reported to have HIV-1reverse transcriptase inhibitory activity (Woradulayapinij et al, 2005) while its essential oil shows antibacterial activity (Indrayan et al, 2011). Methanolic extract of Aerial Parts of C. indica shows antioxidant activity (Joshi et al, 2009).…”

This study was conducted to investigate the antimicrobial activities of the methanolic extract of Rothmannia longiflora and Canna indica leaves against 10 pathogenic bacterial and fungal strains. The methanolic extract from the two plants were screened for their minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) against the microbial growth of Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Bacillus subtilis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Salmonella typhi, Klebsiella pneumonia, Candida albicans, Aspergillus niger, Phjapus stolometer and Penicillium notatum. The results show that inhibition of microbial growth decreased with decreasing concentrations of the plant extracts. While concentrations of 200 and 100 mg/ml completely inhibited microbial growth, lower concentrations (50 and 25 mg/ml) showed partial inhibition, extracts at lower concentrations than these had no effects on microbial growth of microorganisms tested. Comparatively, R. longiflora gave better results than C. indica. This study confirmed the effectiveness of methanolic extracts of the two plants as inhibitory effect to microbial growth of several pathogenic microorganisms and testified to the basis of the ethnomedicinal uses of these two plants against several microbial infections.

In recent years, ethnobotanical and traditional application of natural compounds, principally of plant origin established much attention as they are well tested for their effectiveness and generally believed to be non-toxic for human use. Canna indica L. is a tropical herb belonging to the family Cannaceae. It has been extensively used in a traditional remedy for the treatment of many complaints. The phytochemical analysis of C. indica exhibited that it contained various phytochemicals including alkaloids, cardiac glycosides, anthocyanin pigments, flavonoids, steroids, terpenoids, tannins, phlobatannins, saponins, carbohydrates, proteins, oils, and many other chemical compounds. The pharmacological studies showed that this plant exerted anthelmintic, antibacterial, antimicrobial, antiviral, antidiabetic, antidiarrheal, anti-inflammatory, analgesic, immunomodulatory, antioxidant, cytotoxic, hemostatic, hepatoprotective, molluscicidal, and other effects. This review attempts to illuminate the available literature on C. indica (L.) with respect to ethnobotany, chemical constituents, and summary of numerous pharmacological activities. Every part of C. indica has valuable properties that can serve humanity so the whole plant can be broadly studied for further research aspects.
