“…Except for E. coli, B. cereus and S. aureus strains, all other strains did not seem bactericide/fungicide activity even at the highest tested concentration of 50.0 mg/ml. Coumarins and flavonol glycosides were found to possess antimicrobial activity against Bacillus cereus, Candida albicans and Cladosporium cucumerinum strains in previous studies, which were present in large percentage in extracts of plant species of the genus Tordylium (Kofinas et al, 1993).…”

The present study describes the total phenolic and flavonoid content and in vitro antioxidant and antimicrobial activity of methanol and water extracts from Tordylium maximum L. wild growing in Serbia. The total phenolic content in the extracts was determined using Folin-Ciocalteu reagent and their amounts ranged between 74.59 to 83.36 mg GA (gallic acid)/g. The concentrations of flavonoids in the extracts varied from 20.48 to 47.71 mg Qu (quercetin)/g. Antioxidant activity was analyzed using DPPH reagent. Antioxidant activity ranged from 4.042 to 7.825 IC50 (mg/ml) and from 2.48 to 2.78 mg VitC (vitamin C)/g when tested with the DPPH and ABTS reagents, respectively, using BHA and VitC as controls. The antimicrobial activity of the extracts was investigated using a micro-well dilution assay against the most common human gastrointestinal pathogenic bacterial strains: Escherichia coli ATCC 25922, Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 9027, Salmonella enteritidis ATCC 13076, Bacillus cereus ATCC 10876, Listeria monocytogenes ATCC15313, Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923 and Candida albicans ATCC 10231. This finding suggests that T. maximum may be considered as a natural source of antioxidants and antimicrobial agents.

“…Also, antibacterial activity of the oil from the aerial parts of T. apulum was investigated. Tested oil was characterized by α-humulene (28.7%), octyl hexanoate (11.7 %) and farnesyl acetone (9.8 %) were found as the main components in the oil (Kofinas, 1993).…”

“…In previous studies, flavonoids and a series of antifungal and cytotoxic coumarins were reported from T. apulum L., a spice used in Greece (4,5). The antibacterial activity of oil from aerial parts of T. apulum was investigated and α-humulene (28.7%), octyl hexanoate (11.7%), farnesyl acetone (9.8%) were found as main components in the oil (6). The main constituents in the fruit oil of T. apulum were octyl hexanoate (44.0%), octyl octanoate (34.5%) and octanol (16.5%), whereas the fruit oil of T.pustulosum Boiss.…”

The volatile constituents of the essential oils of 23 taxa belonging to the Apioideae subfamily were studied in detail. The investigated taxa were Pimpinella serbica (Vis.) Bentham & Hooker, Libanotis montana Cr., Cnidium silaifolium (Jacq.) Simk. ssp. orientale (Boiss.) Tutin, Bupleurum praealtum L., B. sibthorpianum S. S. var. diversifolium (Roch.) Hay, Aegopodium podagraria L., Torilis anthriscus (L.) Gmel., Orlaya grandiflora (L.) Hoffm., Laserpitium siler L., Laser trilobum (L.) Brokh., Chaerophyllum aureum L., C. hirsutum L., C. temulum L., Pastinaca sativa L., P. hirsuta Pancic., Tordylium maximum L., Physospermum cornubiense (L.) DC., Peucedanum alsaticum L., P. oreoselinum (L.) Moench, P. cervaria (L.) Cuss., P. austriacum (Jacq.) Koch, P. longifolium W. et K., and P. officinale L. All of these species grow wild in the central part of the Balkan Peninsula. The essential oils were found to be complex mixtures of various compounds, more than 100 constituents being in each taxon, with contributions of main products never exceeding 25% of the total content. Sesquiterpene hydrocarbons were found to be the main group of constituents of all taxa, except for Peucedanum species, where monoterpene hydrocarbons were identified as the main components. The chemotaxonomic value of the essential-oil composition is discussed according to results of principal-component analysis (PCA). The essential-oil composition mainly reflects current taxonomic relationships between the investigated taxa.
