“…Plants under this family have been widely utilized in the past and are still used today for their medicinal properties. Members of Asteraceae have been reported to possess many biological activities including antibacterial, antifungal, antidiabetic, antihelminthic, immunostimulatory, and anticancer activities (Cazella et al, 2019, Salazar et al, 2018, Sharma et al, 2018).…”

Reichardia tingitana is an annual plant growing in different habitats of the Egyptian deserts. Little is known about variation among the habitats occupied by this species, its distribution, chemical composition, and allelopathic activity. The present study aimed to (a) assess the vegetation composition of three different habitats (Western Coast, Delta Coast, and Wadi Hagoul) of R. tingitana in Egypt, (b) determine their correlation to soil factors, (c) identify the changes in the bioactive constituents of R. tingitana in the three regions, and (d) evaluate the allelopathic activity regarding the variation in the habitat. Density and cover of all plant species associated with R. tingitana were estimated within 52 plots, representing three regions. Physical and chemical parameters of soil were analyzed in each plot. R. tingitana aboveground biomass was collected from each habitat, and the bioactive composition was analyzed using HPLC. The allelopathic effect against two weeds (Amaranthus lividius and Chenopodium murale) was assessed. The floristic composition showed the presence of 133 species belonging to 27 families. In the Delta Coast habitat of R. tingitana, Zygophyllum aegyptium and Calligonum polygonoides co-dominate, while Lycium shawii dominate the Western Coast habitat and finally the habitat of Wadi Hagoul was dominated by Haloxylon salicornicum. Soil analysis revealed little variations among habitats, especially salinity and organic matter. Fifteen compounds, mainly phenolics (60% of the total identified compounds) were identified from all R. tingitana samples. The major compounds were quercetin, naringenin, ellagic, gallic, chlorogenic, and caffeic acids. These compounds varied in diversity or quantity among different habitats. The Western Coast sample was the richest in species, followed by Delta Coast sample. Our study showed that salinity is the crucial factor that induces the production of bioactive constituents in R. tingitana, especially phenolics and flavonoids. The R. tingitana extracts significantly reduced the germination and growth of Chenopodium and Amaranthus. However, the Western Coast sample showed potent allelopathic activity, where the germination was wholly inhibited at 75 mg L−1 and 50 mg L−1, respectively. Thereby, this extract could be used as eco-friendly bioherbicide and may be integrated into weed control strategies.

Baccharis dracunculifolia, native to Brazil and the main source of “green propolis”, has been reported with several biological activities, and may be a source of bovine tick control substituting synthetic acaricides. Objective: to evaluate the in vitro and ex situ acaricidal activity of B. dracunculifolia leaf and flower essential oils against Rhipicephalus microplus. Methodology: the essential oils were extracted by hydrodistillation and analyzed by a gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry; the acaricidal activity of the essential oil was evaluated in vitro against adult females and against the egg hatchability; moreover, the acaricidal activity against tick larvae was evaluated in vitro and ex situ. Results: the major class of the essential oils was oxygenated sesquiterpene (55.1% leaves 50.4% flowers) and the main compounds were (21.5% leaves; 20.6% flowers) and spathulenol (21.8% leaves; 20.3% flowers). The essential oil at 500 mg/mL was effective to control egg hatchability with a reduction of egg laying capacity and decrease of number of adult ticks and larvae. The larvicidal activity of the essential oil had LC99.9 from 35 to 37 mg/mL by probit analysis, and the essential oil from 11 to 14 mg/mL presented 85 to 95% of treatment efficiency in the ex situ test. Conclusion: B. dracunculifolia leaf and flower essential oils are stable and have application potential to control bovine ticks.

“…food application (Calo, Crandall, O'Bryan, & Ricke, 2015;Granata et al, 2018). Baccharis dracunculifolia DC essential oil, composed particularly by terpenes, showed antimicrobial activity against pathogenic bacteria (Cazella et al, 2019;Salazar et al, 2018). However, the application of terpenes as food preservatives is limited because of their lipophilic and volatile characteristics (Cacciatore et al, 2020).…”

Eudragit RS100 nanoparticles containing Baccharis dracunculifolia DC essential oil (N‐EO) was developed by the nanoprecipitation method. N‐EO presented an average diameter of 151.6 nm, zeta potential (ζ) of +51.7 mV, and encapsulation efficiency of 99.4%. The antibacterial activity of N‐EO and free essential oil (EO) was evaluated in BHI broth against Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus cereus, Listeria monocytogenes, and Salmonella Enteritidis. No viable cell counts were detected for all strains tested up to 4 hr incubation with EO. The same effect was achieved at 24 hr by the N‐EO, suggesting a controlled release of encapsulated EO. The antimicrobial activity was also tested against L. monocytogenes in milk. Both EO and N‐EO lack antibacterial effect in whole milk, while a delayed lag phase was observed in skimmed milk. The N‐EO caused no significant lysis of erythrocytes suggesting that it can be safe to eukaryotic cells. Practical applications The results of this work suggest that Eudragit nanoparticles can be suitable carriers for essential oils, maintaining their antimicrobial activities. Nanoparticle encapsulation may be useful for food applications by hiding the intense flavor of EO and providing a controlled release of bioactive components. The reduced activity in milk suggests the interaction between the nanostructures and EO with food components, which merits additional studies.
