“…The Zingiberaceae family has been known as the largest family under Zingiberales, comprising 50 genera and more than 1600 species. These species are distributed mainly in tropical and subtropical Asia, Africa, Australia, and the Americas [11]. Members of Zingiberaceae are flower plants, perennial herbs with creeping horizontal or tuberous rhizomes, which usually grow in moist shady regions [11,12].…”

The rapid emergence of drug-resistant strains and novel viruses have motivated the search for new anti-infectious agents. In this study, the chemical compositions and cytotoxicity, as well as the antibacterial, antifungal, antitrichomonas, and antiviral activities of essential oils from the leaves, rhizomes, and whole plant of Hornstedtia bella were investigated. The GC/MS analysis showed that β-pinene, E-β-caryophyllene, and α-humulene were found at high concentrations in the essential oils. The essential oils exhibited (i) inhibition against Staphylococcus aureus, methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis with minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) and minimum lethal concentration (MLC) values from 1 to 4% (v/v); (ii) MIC and MLC values from 2 to 16% (v/v) in Candida tropicalis and Candida parapsilosis; (iii) MIC and MLC values from 4 to 16% in Enterococcus faecalis; and (iv) MIC and MLC values from 8 to greater than or equal to 16% (v/v) in the remaining strains, including Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Candida albicans, and Candida glabrata. In antitrichomonas activity, the leaves and whole-plant oils of Hornstedtia bella possessed IC50, IC90, and MLC values of 0.008%, 0.016%, and 0.03% (v/v), respectively, whilst those of rhizomes oil had in turn, 0.004%, 0.008%, and 0.016% (v/v).Besides, the leaf oil showed a weak cytotoxicity against Vero 76 and MRC-5; meanwhile, rhizomes and whole-plant oils did not exert any toxic effects on cell monolayers. Finally, these oils were not active against EV-A71.

In recent years, essential oils (EOs) have gained popularity for their potential as natural antimicrobial agents and mosquito larvae control. This study aimed to explore the chemical composition of EOs extracted from the leaves and rhizomes of Distichochlamys benenica Q.B. Nguyen & Škorničk, and to evaluate their mosquito larvicidal and antimicrobial activities. The EOs were obtained using hydrodistillation and subjected to gas chromatography (GC) and GC-mass spectrometry to determine their chemical constituents. The main components identified in the leaf EO were β-pinene (47.7%), cis-β-elemene (8.5%), and α-pinene (7.8%), while the rhizome EO mainly consisted of geranyl acetate (25.7%), geranial (23.3%), neral (16.6%), and geraniol (8.4%). The mosquito larvicidal activity of the EOs was evaluated using larvae of Aedes aegypti and Culex quinquefasciatus during 24 and 48 h of treatment. The results demonstrated that these EOs effectively inhibited the mosquito larvae, with LC50 values ranging from 31.15 to 71.53 μg/mL and LC90 values ranging from 46.28 to 148.66 μg/mL. Additionally, the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) values were used to evaluate the antimicrobial efficacy of EOs. Both EOs exhibited potent antimicrobial effects against Enterococcus faecalis ATCC 299212, Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923, Bacillus cereus ATCC 14579, Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 27853, and Candida albicans ATCC 10231, with MIC values ranging from 16 to 64 μg/mL and IC50 values ranging from 4.67 to 45.67 μg/mL. Overall, the mosquito larvicidal and antimicrobial activities of D. benenica EOs highlight their potential as natural alternatives for combating mosquito-borne diseases and microbial infections.

Hedychium rubrum, a traditional medicinal plant of Manipur belonging to the family Zingeberaceae was screened for its biological activity. The methanolic extract of its rhizome was prepared by Soxhlet extraction method and was further subjected to GC-MS to know its bioactive compounds. The in vitro antimicrobial activity assay was tested against five bacteria causing UTI. Klebseilla pneumoniae showed most sensitive followed by Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus and Enterococcus faecalis in the order. Plant extract showed higher inhibition zone than the positive control used. According to the higher quality of compounds from the GCMS results nine compounds were selected for further in silico studies using GOLD software against four protein targets. The phytoconstituents present in the methanolic extract have the ability to bind at the receptor site of all four targeted proteins. ADMET and TOPKAT studies were also carried out.
