“…The main constituents of E. globulus EO, 11 and 12, are likely to be responsible for the EO activity (Luís et al, 2016), while phenolic compounds might be involved in the activity of ethanol extracts (Boulekbache-Makhlouf et al, 2013). Eucalyptus oil has been approved for use by the US Food and Drug Administration and many over-the-counter (OTC) products include it in their formulations (Ghasemian et al, 2019). It is also recommended as a steam inhalation for treating chronic sinusitis (Ivker, 2018).…”

Background: Antimicrobial resistance represents a serious threat to human health across the globe. The cost of bringing a new antibiotic from discovery to market is high and return on investment is low. Furthermore, the development of new antibiotics has slowed dramatically since the 1950s’ golden age of discovery. Plants produce a variety of bioactive secondary metabolites that could be used to fuel the future discovery pipeline. While many studies have focused on specific aspects of plants and plant natural products with antibacterial properties, a comprehensive review of the antibacterial potential of plants has never before been attempted.Objectives: This systematic review aims to evaluate reports on plants with significant antibacterial activities.Methods: Following the PRISMA model, we searched three electronic databases: Web of Science, PubMed and SciFinder by using specific keywords: “plant,” “antibacterial,” “inhibitory concentration.”Results: We identified a total of 6,083 articles published between 1946 and 2019 and then reviewed 66% of these (4,024) focusing on articles published between 2012 and 2019. A rigorous selection process was implemented using clear inclusion and exclusion criteria, yielding data on 958 plant species derived from 483 scientific articles. Antibacterial activity is found in 51 of 79 vascular plant orders throughout the phylogenetic tree. Most are reported within eudicots, with the bulk of species being asterids. Antibacterial activity is not prominent in monocotyledons. Phylogenetic distribution strongly supports the concept of chemical evolution across plant clades, especially in more derived eudicot families. The Lamiaceae, Fabaceae and Asteraceae were the most represented plant families, while Cinnamomum verum, Rosmarinus vulgaris and Thymus vulgaris were the most studied species. South Africa was the most represented site of plant collection. Crude extraction in methanol was the most represented type of extraction and leaves were the main plant tissue investigated. Finally, Staphylococcus aureus was the most targeted pathogenic bacteria in these studies. We closely examine 70 prominent medicinal plant species from the 15 families most studied in the literature.Conclusion: This review depicts the current state of knowledge regarding antibacterials from plants and provides powerful recommendations for future research directions.

“…(Boerema, Dorenbosch, & van Kesteren, 1973) (Pleosporales: Pleosporaceae) and Fusarium moniliforme (Link, 1809) (Hypocreales: Nectriaceae) by 72% and 55%, respectively, when used at a concentration of 5 mg/ml. Many studies have highlighted E. camaldulensis biological properties and its application against many diseases (Abu-Jafar & Huleihel, 2017;Ghasemian et al, 2019). Its leaf extracts were studied and showed to contain tannins, saponins, triterpenoids (Adeniyi & Ayepola, 2008;Siddiqui et al, 2000), many potential antioxidant compounds as chlorogenic acid, phloroglucinol derivatives, galloyl-HHDP glucopyranose or ellagitannin dimers (Singab et al, 2011).…”

Distillation process of aromatic plants produces a considerable amount of solid residues, which are rich in secondary metabolites known as bioactive compounds. In this context, residues from hydrodistillation of selected aromatic plants such as Mentha piperita L., Cymbopogon citratus Stapf and Eucalyptus camaldulensis Dehnh, have been studied for their total polyphenol content using Folin-Ciocalteu Reagent (FCR) method, total flavonoid content using aluminium chlorid (AlCl3) and antioxidant properties were determined as DPPH radical-scavenging ability (IC50). The anti-termite activity was evaluated by a direct non-choice test. The higher antioxidant activity (IC50 = 0.20 mg/ml) and polyphenols content (224.32 mg GAE/g of dried extract) were showed with E. camaldulensis aqueous extract. However, M. piperita and C. citratus ethanolic extracts showed higher flavonoid content (190.99 and 185.19 mg QE/g of dried extract). The most active extract against termite Reticulitermes flavipes was E. camaldulensis ethanolic extract presenting toxicity at 5% and 10% w/w as concentrations. All these data showed that strategic extraction of residues from hydrodistillation can provide interesting bioactive compounds as novel anti-termite agents in plants protection and allow to give an added-value to aromatic plants.

“…As for eucalyptus oil, it is confirmed safe by US Food and Drug Administration and European Commission for use by humans. 42 The use of IRPs is a potential technique in stored product management because the adults of T. castaneum have already developed resistance against synthetic insecticides. 43 The presence of other external factors like food and air movement during the assessment of IRP for the repellency study made the research realistic.…”

BACKGROUND: The protection of grains from insect infestation is critical during storage. Insect repellent pellets (IRPs) are a potential technique to repel insects by hindering insect movement toward the grains. The basic principle of IRPs is the use of active components found in the oils of lemongrass, eucalyptus, and neem leaves for the controlled release of fumes, thereby avoiding the need for reapplication after a few days. Here, we examined the antifungal activity, the lethal dose, and the repelling effect of IRPs against red flour beetle, Tribolium castaneum, over a 30 day period. RESULTS: We observed that IRPs possessed antifungal properties and were able to repel the adults of T. castaneum. These insects ultimately died from the fumes if they manage to stay near the IRPs (LD 50 = 2 and LD 99 = 7 days). The active components (phenol, 2,4-di-tert-butyl-, citral, neral, geraniol, n-hexadecanoic acid) present in IRP during the initial stage were also found after a storage period of 35 days.CONCLUSION: The active components present in IRPs have antifungal, repellent, and fumigant properties. The IRPs can thus be termed potent botanical insecticides and are an alternative to synthetic insecticides.
