“…The pronounced antibacterial activity could be either related to the high content of the a-pinene, b-pinene, sabinene, terpinen-4-ol or in relation to the synergistic action between the major and other remaining compounds (Kim and Shin 2005;Imelouane et al 2009a,b;Erel et al 2012). The most significant inhibitory effects were mainly observed against B. cereus and M. luteus, which was followed by B. subtilis and S. aureus.…”

Essential oil (EO) was hydrodistillated using a Clevenger‐type apparatus and chemically determined using gas chromatography (GC) and GC/mass spectrometry. The analysis of the EO from the leaves of the Pistacia terebinthus has indicated that α‐pinene (19.97%), sabinene (15.43%), β‐pinene (8.57%) and terpinen‐4‐ol (9.65%) are the major compounds of the oil in concern. In the antibacterial disc diffusion assay, EO revealed a broad spectrum activity on the growth of both gram‐positive and gram‐negative bacteria when compared with the standard antibiotics. Likewise, in the insecticidal assay, significant activity was observed on two important pest insects, Acanthoscelides obtectus and Tribolium castaneum. A 100% mortality was found at 160 μL/L air dose for T. castaneum at 48‐h and A. obtectus at 72‐h exposure periods, respectively. Practical Applications Various parts of the Pistacia terebinthus L. belonging to the Anacardiaceae family are edible and contribute significant benefits with invaluable potentialities to the Mediterranean life. Leaves of this tree are consumed as either fresh or cooked. The biological potential of the essential oil (EO) from the leaves of P. terebinthus L. grown in the Eastern Mediterranean region has not been assessed so far. The present assays indicated that the EO of P. terebinthus contains bioactive compounds against bacteria and pest insects suggesting its potential use in food processing and preservation.

“…On the other hand some of the main constituents identified such as: limonene, pinene and camphor (see Table 1) are reported to have antibacterial activity (Pérez et al, 1999;Cimanga et al, 2002;Juteau et al, 2002;Skoibui et al, 2004;Al-Burtamani et al, 2005;Kamatou et al, 2005;Kim and Shin, 2005). Therefore, antibacterial constituents from Sideritis italica essential oils could hold promise for future application in therapy.…”

“…The antimicrobial activities of both EOs were partially associated with cadinane type compounds and their derivatives (54.2% and 39.7% of total oils, respectively) such as δ-cadinene. δ-Cadinene was believed to be responsible for bacteriostatic activity of several plants (Porter and Wilkins, 1998;Haznedaroglu et al, 2001;Cakira et al, 2005;Kim and Shin, 2005). The cadinane type compounds might act as a precursor of phytoalexins, which is a possible reason for their antimicrobial effect.…”

The chemical compositions, antimicrobial activities, antioxidant activities and cytotoxicities of the essential oils isolated from the root of Kadsura longepedunculata Finet et Gagnep (KLREO) and the fruit of Schisandra sphenanthera Rehd. et Wills. (SSFEO) were investigated.The analyses of gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) showed that cadinane type compounds and their derivatives were rich in both oils (54.2% and 39.7%, respectively) and delta-cadinene was the major component of both oils (13.8% and 25.6%, respectively). The antimicrobial activities of both oils were evaluated against five microorganisms with the disc diffusion and the broth micro-dilution method. Results showed that Gram-positive bacteria were more sensitive to both oils than Gram-negative bacteria and the yeast. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) of the oil of KLREO were lower than those of SSFEO, indicating that the former possessed slightly stronger antibacterial capability than the latter. The reducing power and lipid peroxidation assays were employed to study the potential antioxidant activities of both oils. Both oils remarkably decreased the content of malondialdehyde (MDA) in rat liver homogenate in a dose dependent manner. The antioxidant activities of KLREO appeared to be more potent than that of SSFEO. The oils of KLREO and SSFEO exhibited concentration-dependent cytotoxicities and were proved to be toxic to HepG2 cells with IC(50) of 147 and 189 mug/ml, respectively.
