“…Several species are widespread throughout the world, including Eucalyptus bridgesiana. 10) Eucalyptus essential oils are found in the leaves, fruits, buds, and bark of the tree, 11,12) but only a small number of studies have described the essential oil of E. bridgesiana. Cymbopogon martinii produces a geraniol-rich, commercially valuable essential oil.…”

Anti-larval effects of essential oil and methanolic extract obtained from leaves, stems and inflorescences of Hymenocarter longiflorus against Echinococcus granulosus were investigated and characterized with toxicological methods. Gas chromatography and mass spectroscopy (GC-MS) analyses have revealed the presence of 87 components in the essential oil of H. longiflorus. The main chemical components are α-pinene (10.16 %), 1,8-cineole (1.53 %), linalool (2.98 %), p-menth-1-en-8-ol (9.82 %), β-bourbonene (2.72 %), trans-caryophyllene (2.29 %), germacrene D (1.8 %), δ-cadenene (3.02 %), β-cadenene (1.43 %), hedycaryol (6.42 %), spathulenol (4.14 %), caryophyllene oxide (2.81 %), epicedrol (1.49 %), cis-3-hexenyl phenyl acetate (1.84 %), cubenol (1.46 %), δ-cadinol (18.49 %), β-eudesmol (4.56 %), isobutyl phthalate (1.88 %) and 2-(5-acetyl-2-furyl)-1,4-naphthoquinone (1.82 %). The essential oil and the methanolic extract exhibited significant toxic activity against the larvae of E. granulosus with LC 50 values of 79.68 and 135.88 μm/ml, respectively. These results suggest that H. longiflorus is a potential source of anti-larval constituents against E. granulosus. Further studies should be carried out for larvicidal effects of this plant against other species.

“…Eucalyptol was also found in majority of other species of Eucalyptus, such as E. staigeriana (Gilles et al, 2010), E. globules (Maciel et al, 2010;Tyagi and Malik, 2011) and E. urophylla (Cheng et al, 2009). Nevertheless, the main component in other species of Eucalyptus can be a different compound, such as piperitone (E. dives), (E)-methyl cinnamate (E. olida) (Gilles et al, 2010), α-pinene (E. camaldulensis) (Cheng et al, 2009), limonene (E. staigeriana), β-citronellal (E. citriodora) (Maciel et al, 2010), or p-cymene (E. tereticorni) (Toloza et al, 2006). The chemical composition of essential oil is affected by several factors, such as species, geographical location, harvest time, plant part and isolation method (Cimanga et al, 2002;Penalver et al, 2005;Marzoug et al, 2011).…”

The chemical composition of the essential oils extracted from immature flowers, leaves and seeds of Eucalyptus chapmaniana grown in Iraq were analyzed for the first time by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry. Twenty-four different compounds were identified and the predominant compound is eucalyptol, which accounted for 59.9, 55.6 and 8.6% of total compounds, respectively. To asses the possible therapeutic uses of the extracts, their antioxidant properties were assessed via DPPH free radical scavenging. The extracts showed significant antioxidant and antimicrobial activities against Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Klebsiella pneumonia, Proteus volgaris, Staphylococcus aureus and Candida albicans. The cytoxicity of flower extract against the Human Leukemia (HL-60) cells was evaluated and the extracts significantly reduced the viability of HL-60 cells in a dose-and timedependent response relationship. The results indicated that essential oils from immature flowers are highly cytotoxic to HL-60 cells and that their antitumor potential was confirmed.
