“…This antimicrobial activity could be associated with the high percent of 1,8-cineole, limonene and spathulenol that are the major constituents of the leaf and flower. Antibacterial activities of these compounds have been reported by other studies (Bevilacqua et al 2010, Boligon et al 2014; other components such 4-terpineol, linalool and α-terpinolene contributed to antibacterial activity as well (Park et al 2012). It is also possible that some components will be involved in some type of synergism as Simsek and Duman (2017) for 1,8-cineole with chlorhexidine gluconate against S. aureus, E. coli and K. pneumoniae.…”

This study evaluates the antibacterial, cytotoxic activities, and phytochemical composition, of Callistemon citrinus, Hibiscus rosa-sinensis and Plumbago auriculata leaves and flowers, three ornamental plants in Mexico. However, in other countries offers a range of other uses. ethanol extracts of C. citrinus leaf and flower presented stronger antibacterial activity than the extracts obtained from the other two plants. C. citrinus leaf showed low cytotoxicity (lC 50 <600 µg/ml) on the brine shrimp test, whereas the ethanol extracts of H. rosa-sinensis and P. auriculata leaves showed no cytotoxic activity. Flower extracts obtained from the three plants did no exhibit cytotoxicity. gC-MS analysis revealed that the ethanol extract of P. auriculata leaf contained lupeol triterpene and lupeol acetate, neither of them have been previously reported in this genus. Gamma sitosterol was present in the leaf and flower extracts of P. auriculata. Higher contents of linoleic and linolenic acids were found in extracts of H. rosa-sinensis leaves and flowers. The ability of the ethanol extracts of C. citrinus leaves and flowers to inhibit the growth of Gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria indicates a potentially broad antimicrobial spectrum. Moreover, the absence of cytotoxicity suggests the potential use of this plant to treat microbial infections.

“…Their formations in the oils were aided by α-bergamotene synthase. Meanwhile, α-cubebene [33], α-copaene [25], α-bergamotene [35], β-santalene, α-muurolene [39], calamenene [41], δ-cadinene [26], βcadin-4-en-10-ol [27], α-bisabolol [28] and β-bisabolol [29] were of higher quantities in the oil of morning harvest than the oil of afternoon harvest. On the contrary, the oil from afternoon harvest was richer in αsantalene, α-cedrene [38], β-farnesene [32] and cadina-1,4-diene [30] than the oil from morning harvest.…”

“…It has been established that essential oils containing greater amounts of oxygenated compounds usually possess higher antioxidant activity [24,25]. For instance, the DPPH radical scavenging activity of leaf essential oils of Ocimum basilicum and Scutia buxifolia was linked to the predominant of linalool, carvacrol, 1,8-cineole and spathulenol in the oils [26,27]. The oils also contained terpinolene and γ-terpinene which were separately reported to show stronger DPPH radical-scavenging activity than trolox which was used as a reference.…”

Abstract. The use of synthetic antioxidants to ameliorate oxidative stress goes with side effects. Some plants are known to be sources of natural antioxidants and, hence, could be used as alternatives to synthetic antioxidants without side effects. Meanwhile, the presence of the phytochemicals that exhibit antioxidant activity in plants depends on environmental conditions that vary with the time of harvest of plant materials. This study, therefore, investigated the effect of time of harvest on the chemical composition and antioxidant potential of leaf essential oil of Syzygium guineense native to North central Nigeria. To accomplish these, pulverized (500 g) leaves of S. guineense harvested in the morning and afternoon were separately hydrodistilled and yielded 0.25 ± 0.002 % (w/w) and 0.27 ± 0.003 % (w/w) of essential oils. Characterization of the oils using GC-MS revealed the presence of twenty-two and twenty-three compounds in the oils from morning and afternoon harvests. The most abundant compound in the oils was β-bergamotene (30.1 % and 27.3 %). D-limonene (2.9 % and 5.6 %), β-ocimene (4.2 % and 10.2 %), α-santalene (7.4 % and 7.7 %), α-cedrene (8.6 % and 9.0 %), β-farnesene (9.1 % and 10.2 %) and calamenene (7.1 % and 5.2 %) were detected in significant quantities in the oils. DPPH radial scavenging assay was used to evaluate the antioxidant activity of the oils with butylated hydroxyl toluene (BHT) as standard. The oils exhibited antioxidant activity with IC50 of 41.92 μg/mL and 33.12 μg/mL for the oils from morning and afternoon harvests. Although the oils exhibited lower antioxidant activity than the standard (IC50 of 28.63 μg/mL), but the oils could be used to ameliorate oxidative stress after clinical trials.

“…20 The substance 19 was described as the major compound of essential oil from Scutia buxifolia Reissek and showed interesting antioxidant activity and moderate antimicrobial activity. 21 α-Pinene (1) is a monoterpene found also in P. hispidum essential oil 8a and other Piperaceae species 9 and was described as insecticidal repellent 22 and cytotoxic selectively against tumor cells. 23 The linalool (15) was the major substance of inflorescences essential oil and was found in high concentration in inflorescence hydrolate but was absent or in low concentrations in the other samples, so may be thought of as a chemical marker for quality control of inflorescences.…”

Resumo: Plantas do gênero Piper são frequentemente utilizadas comercialmente. A espécie Piper chimonanthifolium Kunth. apresenta poucos estudos em literatura quanto a sua composição química e atividades biológicas. Óleos essenciais de outras espécies deste gênero apresentam boas atividades biológicas, principalmente contra microrganismos. Este trabalho apresenta uma comparação da composição química de óleos essenciais e hidrolatos de folhas, inflorescências e caules desta espécie. As amostras foram obtidas por co-destilação e analisadas por cromatografia com fase gasosa acoplada à espectrometria de massas (CG-EM). As amostras mostraram presença de monoterpenos e sesquiterpenos, com predominância de monoterpenos. A piperitona, um monoterpeno com atividades biológicas anteriormente relatadas na literatura, foi a substância com maior destaque. Além desta substância, destacaram-se: L-linalol, cis-β-ocimeno, trans-β-cimeno, 1-felandreno, α-pineno, limoneno e espatulenol. Algumas dessas substâncias podem exibir variação na composição de acordo com fatores ambientais e podem ser agentes de controle biológico, demonstrando importância ecológica. As análises por CG-EM evidenciaram diferenças na composição química entre folhas, inflorescências e caules, além de demonstrarem potencial biológico para esta espécie. Palavras-chave:Atividade biológica; Óleo essencial; Monoterpeno; Piperaceae; Piperitona. AbstractPlants of the genus Piper are widely used commercially. Piper chimonanthifolium Kunth. is a species with few studies on chemistry and biological activities. Essential oils of other species of this genus show good biological activities, especially against microorganisms. This work presents a comparative analysis of chemical composition of essential oils and hydrolates of leaves, inflorescences and stems of this specie. Samples were obtained by co-distillation and analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The samples were composed of monoterpenes and sesquiterpenes, with predominance of monoterpenes. Piperitone, a monoterpene with important biological activities, was the most important substance and in addition to this compound, L-linalool, cis-β-ocimene, trans-β-ocimene, 1-phellandrene, α-pinene, limonene, and spathulenol stood out. Some of these substances can exhibit a variation in the composition according to environmental factors or may be biological control agents, demonstrating ecological importance. The chemical characterization showed chemical differences between leaves, stems and inflorescences and demonstrated biological potential for this species.
