The aim of this work was to investigate and compare the antiproliferative, antioxidant and antibacterial activities of Rosmarinus officinalis essential oil, native to Pakistan. The essential oil content from the leaves of R. officinalis was 0.93 g 100g -1 . The GC and GC-MS analysis revealed that the major components determined in R. officinalis essential oil were 1,8-cineol (38.5%), camphor (17.1%), -pinene (12.3%), limonene (6.23%), camphene (6.00%) and linalool (5.70%). The antiproliferative activity was tested against two cancer (MCF-7 and LNCaP) and one fibroblast cell line (NIH-3T3) using the MTT assay, while, the antioxidant activity was evaluated by the reduction of 2, 2-diphenyl-1-picryl hydrazyl (DPPH) and measuring percent inhibition of peroxidation in linoleic acid system. The disc diffusion and modified resazurin microtitre-plate assays were used to evaluate the inhibition zones (IZ) and minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of R. officinalis essential oil, respectively. It is concluded from the results that Rosmarinus officinalis essential oil exhibited antiproliferative, antioxidant and antibacterial activities.

“…Pure DMSO was used as the negative control. To prevent temperature changes during the tests, plates were incubated for both bacteria and fungi screening for 48 h at 37°C (Da Silva et al, 2008, Braga et al 2008, Hussain et al, 2008. The diameter of the zones of inhibition around each well (well diameter included) was taken as a measure of the antimicrobial activity.…”

Endopleura uchi (Huber) Cuatrec. is an Amazon species traditionally used as treatment for inflammations and female disorders. Bergenin was isolated from ethyl acetate fraction of bark of E. uchi by using column chromatography over sephadex LH-20 and then silica gel 60 flash. Its structure was identified on the basis of its NMR spectra. The antimicrobial activity of bergenin and fractions of methanol extract of E. uchi were evaluated against ATCC microorganisms (Escherichia coli, Salmonella enteritidis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Enterococcus faecalis, Staphylococcus aureus, Candida albicans, C. guilliermondii, Aspergillus flavus, A. nidulans). Clinically isolated strains of all of these microorganisms, along with C. tropicalis, A. niger, Shigella sonnei, Serratia marcenses and Klebsiella pneumoniae were also evaluated. The growth inhibition caused by bergenin, extracts and fractions of E. uchi against ATCC microorganisms were similar to the inhibition to microorganisms clinically isolated. The ethyl acetate fraction and the isolate bergenin inhibit the growth of the yeasts C. albicans, C. tropicalis, and C. guilliermondii, but present lower activity against filamentous fungi Aspergillus flavus, A. nidulans, A. niger, and did not inhibit the Gram positive and Gram negative bacteria. The activity of the ethyl acetate fraction and bergenin are in agreement wit its high concentration found in bark extract of E. uchi. Moreover, the selective activity against three Candida species helps to understand its traditional use against infections that affect women.KEYWORDS: Antibacterial, Antifungal, Candida, Humiriaceae, Uxi-amarelo.Atividade antimicrobiana de bergenina isolada de Endopleura uchi (Huber) Cuatrec. RESUMOEndopleura uchi (Huber) Cuatrec. é uma espécie amazônica utilizada tradicionalmente para o tratamento de inflamações uterinas e outras afecções femininas. Das cascas de E. uchi foi isolada a substância bergenina, por meio de cromatografia em coluna usando como fases estacionárias sephadex LH-20 e posteriormente, sílica gel 60 flash. A identificação estrutural de bergenina foi realizada por meio de espectros de RMN. A avaliação da atividade antimicrobiana da bergenina, dos extratos e frações de E. uchi foi realizada contra microorganismos ATCC e clinicamente isolados (Escherichia coli, Salmonella enteritidis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Enterococcus faecalis, Staphylococcus aureus, Candida albicans, C. guilliermondii, Aspergillus flavus, A. nidulans). Além desses, foram testados os microorganismos isolados clinicamente (C. tropicalis, A. nidulans, A. niger, Shigella sonnei, Serratia marcenses, Klebsiella pneumoniae e Enterococcus faecalis).A inibição de crescimento dos microorganismos pela bergenina e extratos e frações de E. uchi contra os microorganismos ATCC foram similares à inibição obtida contra microorganimos isolados clinicamente. Os resultados revelaram a bergenina como um inibidor seletivo de Candida albicans, C. tropicalis e C. guilliermondii. Porém, a bergenina apresentou uma atividade inferior co...

“…Five fraction oils gave the different result of inhibition zone. The increase of oil component composition is different which can be known as MO compounds such as citronella and linalool that attribute to antibacterial activity and fungus [10,11,12]. Moreover, another component of W. urticifolia oil such as β-pinene, limonene, γ-terpinene, α-phellandrene, β-caryophyllene, and germacrene has significant antibacterial activity [13][14][15][16][17].…”

The purpose of this research is to investigate the composition of oil fraction kaffir lime which is consists as antibacterial activity of E. coli. This research was applied a branch kaffir lime to produce oil using fractional distillation (PiloDist 104-VTU) number the stages 120 and reflux ratio 20/10 with 5 mbar pressure. Oil kaffir lime composition was analyzed using GC-MS (type Shimadzu QP 2010S) by helium as a carrier gas with flow rate of 3mL/min. Antibacterial activity assay was employed agar well diffusion which conducted at three concentrations (500, 300, and 100 µL/mL). The result of oil fraction kaffir lime was afforded five fraction oil based on boiling point interval, such as A fraction oil (63.00-70. . All fractions contained oxygenated monoterpene (MO), except A oil fraction which comprises hydrocarbon monoterpene composition (MH) with a yield of 12.1%. The main components of a fraction which MO compound they are citronella, linalool and isopulegol, while in MH compound they are sabine, β-pinene, β-micrene and limonene. The result of antibacterial activity assay obtained at the highest concentration (500 µL/mL). Antibacterial activity assay also depends on the fraction composition with higher composition of MO. The highest MO component of oil fraction was found on C oil fraction which has MO component such as citronella 74.94%; linalool 20.13%; and isopulegol 3.08%.
