“…Regarding the less studied species of lavender, the work of Msanda et al, [44] is interesting which reports the chemical composition and biological activities of a carvacrol chemotype of L. mairei, an endemic and rare species from Morocco. Another two endemic species are L. pinnata and L. pubescens collected in Spain and Yemen, were studied by Argentieri et al and Al Badani et al [45,46] Both were carvacrol chemotypes with a variable amount of carvacrol methyl ether and caryophyllene oxide as other main compounds.…”

“…Liu et al [429] reported the synergic action of carnosic acid in combination with cisplatin in the treatment of mouse Lewis lung cancer. Carnosic acid, together with carnosol (43) and rosmanol (44), are diterpenoids belonging to the metabolic pool of rosemary, responsible for most of its biological activities. In a recent survey of Sicilian R. officinalis, the ethyl acetate and ethanol extracts showed the presence of several polyphenols subdivided in organic (14), genkwanin (25), salvigenin (33), and diterpenes: carnosol (43), carnosic acid (49) and methyl carnosoate (50).…”

Lamiaceae is one of the largest families of flowering plants comprising about 250 genera and over 7,000 species. Most of the plants of this family are aromatic and therefore important source of essential oils. Lamiaceae are widely used as culinary herbs and reported as medicinal plants in several folk traditions. In the Mediterranean area oregano, sage, rosemary, thyme and lavender stand out for geographical diffusion and variety of uses. The aim of this review is to provide recent data dealing with the phytochemical and pharmacological studies, and the more recent applications of the essential oils and the non‐volatile phytocomplexes. This literature survey suggests how the deeper understanding of biomolecular processes in the health and food sectors as per as pest control bioremediation of cultural heritage, or interaction with human microbiome, fields, leads to the rediscovery and new potential applications of well‐known plants.

“…According to the literature, some terpene compounds (such as 1,8‐cineole, fenchone, and terpinolene) were reported to have antioxidant properties; although their antioxidant mechanisms have not been fully elucidated . Moreover, 1,8‐cineole was reported to be the most active compound in decreasing the production of reactive oxygen species over other monoterpenes . The antioxidant properties of these terpenes and their derivatives are similar to those obtained from phenolic compounds as they are able to scavenge free radicals by donating a hydrogen to them .…”

“…[23,24] Moreover, 1,8-cineole was reported to be the most active compound in decreasing the production of reactive oxygen species over other monoterpenes. [25] The antioxidant properties of these terpenes and their derivatives are similar to those obtained from phenolic compounds as they are able to scavenge free radicals by donating a hydrogen to them. [26] In addition, αpinene and α-phellandrene were reported to react rapidly with peroxyl radicals, resulting in a rapid termination of oxidative chain reactions which subsequently reduced the number of reactive radicals.…”

The essential oils of five Lavandula stoechas cultivars grown in Thailand were characterized for their volatile compounds using GC‐FID and GC/MS methods as well as screened for antibacterial and antioxidant activities. Dried aerial parts, including flowers and stems from each cultivar, were subjected to hydrodistillation for 4 h. The essential oil yields were 0.18 %–0.82 % w/w. Of the 95 compounds detected and identified, 1,8‐cineole, fenchone, and camphor were considered the major compounds. Essential oil from each cultivar demonstrated different patterns of antibacterial activity and a variety of antioxidant properties. The highest antibacterial activity, MIC=0.39 mg mL−1, was observed from the essential oil of L. stoechas ‘major’ (against Klebsiella pneumoniae and Salmonella typhimurium) and the essential oil of L. stoechas ‘white lavender’ (against S. typhimurium). The essential oil of L. stoechas×viridis ‘St. Brelade’ possessed the highest antioxidant capacity, as determined by the DPPH and ABTS assays (IC50 of 67.65 and 89.26 mg mL−1, respectively). The results indicated that some of these essential oils could be used as key ingredients in lavender oil products in Thailand to increase their therapeutic efficacy, depending on their intended application.

“…The antimicrobial activities of the EOs are different depending on their chemical composition [155]. Even if some major compounds like oxygenated monoterpenes, phenolic compounds play important role on the antimicrobial activity, all compounds should be evaluated for their antimicrobial mechanisms [108,156,157]. The synergistic effect of each major compound and additive effect of minor compounds should be taken into consideration [158] lavender EO led to an increase in their antimicrobial and antioxidant efficacy with little effect on water vapor permeability and mechanical properties of the resultant films [51].…”

The Lavandula genus, belonging to the Lamiaceae, includes 39 species, with nearly 400 registered cultivars. Lavandula are worldwide plants that occur over the Mediterranean, Europe, North Africa, southwest Asia to southeast India. Lavandula plants have been used since ancient time to flavor and preserved food, to treat diseases including wound healing, sedative, antispasmodic, microbial and viral infections. Numerous researches have described the chemical composition and the primary components of lavender oils are the monoterpenoids (linalool, linalyl acetate, 1,8-cineole, β-ocimene, terpinen-4-ol, and camphor), sesquiterpenoids (β-caryophyllene and nerolidol) and other terpenoid compounds (e.g., perillyl alcohol). The high concentrations of linalyl acetate make them attractive in perfumery, flavoring, cosmetics and soap industries. Currently, data on the antimicrobial activity of lavender plants have been scientifically confirmed. Indeed, lavender essential oils possess wide spectra of biological activities such as antispasmodic, carminative, analgesic, sedative, hypotensive, antiseptic, antimicrobial, antifungal, antidiuretic and general tonic action. In addition, clinical studies support their uses as treatment of health conditions. However, further clinical studies are necessary to define the magnitude of the efficacy, mechanisms of action, optimal doses, long-term safety, and, potential side effects of lavender plants.
