“…Vimal et al [62] discovered that eucalyptol and sabinene could be potent inhibitors of salmonella target protein L–asparaginase, and sabinene was even better than the standard drug, Ciprofloxacin and the natural substrate L-asparagine. Some essential oils that are rich in sabinene were found to possess antimicrobial activity: Artemisia kulbadica oil (sabinene 25.1%) showed inhibitory activity against six bacterial strains and one fungal [63]; Alpinia nutans oil (sabinene 27.8%) was effective against Pasteurella multocida, Escherichia coli, Salmonella enterica, Shigella fluxneri and Staphylococcus aureus [64]; Laserpitium latifolium oil (sabinene 26.8%) inhibited growth of Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Micrococcus luteus [65]. The effectiveness of D. integrifolium oil and its major constituents implies their potential value to be further explored as natural antimicrobial agents.…”

The present investigation studied the chemical composition of the essential oils extracted from Dracocephalum integrifolium Bunge growing in three different localities in northwest China and evaluated the phytotoxic, antimicrobial and insecticidal activities of the essential oils as well as their major constituents, i.e., sabinene and eucalyptol. GC/MS analysis revealed the presence of 21–24 compounds in the essential oils, representing 94.17–97.71% of the entire oils. Monoterpenes were the most abundant substances, accounting for 85.30–93.61% of the oils; among them, sabinene (7.35–14.0%) and eucalyptol (53.56–76.11%) were dominant in all three oils, which occupied 67.56–83.46% of the total oils. In general, phytotoxic bioassays indicated that the IC50 values of the oils and their major constituents were below 2 μL/mL (1.739–1.886 mg/mL) against Amaranthus retroflexus and Poa annua. Disc diffusion method demonstrated that the oils and their major constituents possessed antimicrobial activity against Bacillus subtilis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, and Candida albicans, with MIC values ranging from 5–40 μL/mL (4.347–37.712 mg/mL). The oils, sabinene and eucalyptol also exhibited significant pesticidal activity, with the mortality rates of Aphis pomi reaching 100% after exposing to 10 μL oil/petri dish (8.694–9.428 mg/petri dish) for 24 h. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report on the chemical composition, phytotoxic, antimicrobial and insecticidal activity of the essential oils extracted from D. integrifolium; it is noteworthy to mention that this is also the first report on the phytotoxicity of one of the major constituents, sabinene. Our results imply that D. integrifolium oils and sabinene have the potential value of being further exploited as natural pesticides.

“…Radical scavenging power of the essential oil of L. camara leaves was determined by the DPPH radical scavenging assay. This test was performed as described previously by Joshi et al [11]. Different amounts of the essential oil of L. camara (5, 10, 15, 20 and 25 μl) were mixed with 5 ml of an ethanolic solution of DPPH (0.004%).…”

The objective of this study was to determine chemical composition and biological activity of essential oil of the leaves of Lantana camara from Burkina Faso. The essential oil was obtained by hydrodistillation and analyzed by GC and GC/MS. Antioxidant activity was determined by 2,2-Diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging assay and Ferric reduction antioxidant power (FRAP) test. Antimicrobial activity was assessed by agar disc diffusion method and microdilution method. The main components of essential oil of L. camara were caryophyllene oxide (23.015%), spathulenol (13.421%), humulen-1, 2-epoxide (8.046%), β-caryophyllene (7.93%), E-nerolidol (6.933%) and αhumulene (4.925%). The oil showed good radical scavenging power and moderate reducing power compared with quercetin, ascorbic acid and butylhydroxytoluene (BHT). Essential oil of L. camara showed antibacterial activity with inhibition diameters between 08±00 mm and 23.5±2.12 mm. Minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values were ranging from 4% to 8% and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) were determined for the strains of Escherichia coli (8%) only. L. camara essential oil had inhibitory action on all fungal strains with MICs of 2% to 4% and minimum fungicidal concentration (MFC) of 4% for Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Hence L. camara essential oil could be used as antifungal agent, as antioxidant and could be a potential antibacterial agent especially against Escherichia coli.
