Determination of the antibacterial activity of crude extracts and compounds isolated from Hortia oreadica (Rutaceae) against oral pathogens

Abstract: Extracts from Hortia oreadica afforded four dihydrocinnamic acid derivatives, isolated from the n-hexane extract, as well as limonoid guyanin and the furoquinoline alkaloid dictamnine, both isolated from the dichloromethane extract. The extracts and the isolated compounds were tested against some oral pathogens, so as to investigate their antibacterial activity. The results showed that the n-hexane extract and the compound dictamnine are the most active against the selected microorganisms

“…Considering the phytochemicals, the major components identified in H. brasiliana were the alkaloids and these are described as chemical markers of the species (Suárez et al, 1998;Shin et al, 2007;Lee et al, 2008;Severino et al, 2009a;Liao et al, 2011). However, based on the polarity of the compounds extracted in the hexane extract, sesquiterpenes, diterpenes, hydrocarbons and pentacyclic triterpenes were detected in the hexane extract from H. brasiliana leaves and these chemical classes may be responsible for the pharmacological activities reported in the present study.…”

“…Considering the phytochemical and pharmacological aspects, H. brasiliana has been described as a large source of alkaloids, coumarins, flavonoids, and limonoids (Suárez et al, 1998;Severino et al, 2009aSeverino et al, , 2009bSeverino et al, , 2012. Five alkaloids were isolated from wood and identified as flindersine, N-methylflindersine, γ-fagarine, skimmianine and 2,4-dimethoxyquinoline (Suárez et al, 1998).…”

“…Severino et al (2009) verified antimicrobial activity of the hexane extract of H. oreadica roots and the dictamnine alkaloid isolated of this extract against oral pathogens Enterococcus faecalis (ATCC 4082), Streptococcus salivarius (ATCC 25975), S. mitis (ATCC 49456), S. mutans (ATCC 25275), S. sobrinus (ATCC 33478), S. sanguinis (ATCC 10556) and Lactobacillus casei (ATCC 11578). Severino et al (2015) demonstrated an inhibitory effect of the dichloromethane extract of leaves of H. oreadica (MIC 31.25 g/ml), indolequinazoline (15.62 g/ml) and furoquinoline (31.25 g/ml) alkaloids, and dihydrocinnamic acid derivatives (62.50 g/ml) on the growth of M. tuberculosis.…”
