“…Many sesquiterpenes, zedoalactone A, zedoalactone B, zedoarondiol, zedoarol, curcumenol, isocurcumenol, furanodiene and isofuranodiene, have been isolated from the rhizome of Curcuma aeruginosa (Takano et al, 1995;Sirat et al, 1998a;Sukari et al, 2007). The essential oils of the rhizomes and leaves of Curcuma aeruginosa have been identified as ␤-pinene, 1,8-cineol, curzerenone, furangermenone, furanodienone, camphor, zedoarol, curcumenol, ␤-elemene and isocurcumenol (Xuan Dung et al, 1995;Sirat et al, 1998b;Bin Jantan et al, 1999;Jirovetz et al, 2000;Jarikasem et al, 2005). The alcoholic extract of Curcuma aeruginosa rhizome has been reported to possess postcoital contraceptive effect in albino rats, but the water extract had no effect (Matangkasombut et al, 1983).…”

“…TLC, were characterized by IR, mass spectral data and comparison with the literature. 6,16,38,39,51,52 53 and anti-inflammatory compound, 54 was also found in C. haritha rhizome oil. The abundance of camphor (36.0%), 1,8-cineole (13.9%), isoborneol (10.6%), curdione (6.9%), furanogermenone (3.4%), germacrone (2.8%), neocurdione (1.5%) and curcumol (0.4%) makes C. haritha rhizome oil a potentially bioactive volatile oil.…”

“…9 C. haritha is related to C. aromatica morphologically, but it differs in its yellowishgrey rhizome, leathery, semiplicate and erect leaves, white corolla and yellow tip with a median dark yellow band. 27 C. haritha rhizome oil studied here shows uniqueness in its terpenoid profile compared to all other Curcuma spp., [3][4][5][7][8][9][10][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23] providing chemotaxonomic support to the identity of the species. A certain degree of overlap in the chemical composition is observed between C. haritha and C. aromatica, 6,10,11,32 in accordance to their morphological 27 similarities.…”

Volatile oil from the rhizomes of Curcuma haritha Mangaly and Sabu from the Western Ghats, southern India, was isolated by hydrodistillation and characterized by a combination of GC-FID, GC-MS, co-GC, database and literature search, linear retention indices, prep. TLC, IR, NMR and MS. Refractive index, specific rotation and specific gravity of C. haritha rhizome oil were measured. Fifty constituents, comprising 99.9% of C. haritha rhizome oil, were identified, of which monoterpene hydrocarbons, oxygenated monoterpenes, sesquiterpene hydrocarbons and oxygenated sesquiterpenes constituted 7.7%, 72.0%, 1.9% and 18.2%, respectively. Camphor (36.0%), 1,8-cineole (13.9%), isoborneol (10.6%), camphene (5.7%) and linalool (4.7%) were the major monoterpenes, while curdione (6.9%), furanogermenone (3.3%) and germacrone (2.8%) were the major sesquiterpenoids in C. haritha rhizome oil. Camphor and curdione were quantified by external standardization.

“…[36][37][38] The rhizome and leaves of this plant is a good source of several essential oils identified as β-pinene, 1, 8-cineol, curzerenone, furangermenone, furanodienone, camphor, zedoarol, curcumenol, β-elemene and isocurcumenol. [39][40][41][42][43] The two species of Curcuma selected for the present study showed many morphological similarities [ Table 1, Figure 1a-d]. In an earlier preliminary study anti-bacterial efficacy of essential oil present in C. aeruginosa against two Gram positive and two Gram negative bacteria were investigated.…”

Background: Traditional medicinal plants could serve as a good supply of new dependable, biodegradable, renewable drugs and can be utilised for its anti-bacterial activity directly or indirectly. Aims: To evaluate the phytochemical and anti-bacterial properties of two morphologically similar indigenous medicinal plants Curcuma caesia and Curcuma aeruginosa belonging to the family Zingiberaceae. Materials and Methods: Evaluation of rhizome extracts using methanol was performed for the presence of active principles. Qualitative analysis was carried out for diverse phytoconstituents. Different concentrations (1.25, 2.5, 5.0 mg/ml) of hexane, chloroform, ethyl acetate, acetone, methanol and water serial extracts from the rhizome of C. caesia and C. aeruginosa were tested against Gram positive (Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus haemolyticus and Bacillus cereus) and Gram negative (Salmonella typhi, Enterobacter aerogens, Vibrio cholerae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Serratia marcescens) bacteria. National Committee for Clinical Laboratory Standard (NCCL) standards were strictly followed to perform anti-bacterial disc susceptibility test using disc diffusion method. Statistical Analysis: All the values of the results were expressed as means of two independent experiments ± standard deviation. Results: Phytochemical screening of these two plants confirmed the presence of various bioactive substances and thus validating its use in herbal remedies. Anti-bacterial studies showed varying degree of inhibitory action against all the tested bacteria. Among the Gram positive bacteria, acetone extract of C. caesia showed maximum activity against S. aureus and hexane extract of C. aeruginosa exhibited maximum activity against B. cereus. In Gram negative bacteria, chloroform extract of C. caesia showed maximum inhibitory action against S. marcescens, whereas the methanol extract of C. aeruginosa showed higher inhibitory action against S. typhi. Conclusions: The findings about present study suggest that the rhizome extract possess excellent anti-bacterial potential that can be used for therapeutic purposes for many bacterial infectious diseases with proper evaluation procedures. The present study validated the use of these plants in traditional medicine and recommends for making new pharmaceuticals for therapeutic needs.
