A preliminary study of the acaricidal activity of clove oil, Eugenia caryophyllus

Abstract

Clove oil is a promising agent for killing dust mites with a potential use in dust-mite laden mattresses. Spraying diminishes in efficiency after 3 months.

Antitermitic and antifungal activities of eugenol and its congeners from the flower buds of Syzgium aromaticum (clove)

“…The clove essential oil widely applied in medicine, food and cosmetics industries (Jirovetz et al, 2006). The clove essential oil and eugenol have been described as having useful acaricidal (Kim et al, 2003;Yang et al, 2003;Fichi et al, 2007;Kim and Sharma, 2011;Mahakittikun et al, 2014), insecticidal (RegnaultRoger and Hamraoui, 1994, 1995Bhat and Kempraj, 2009;Yang et al, 2009;Kafle and Shih, 2013;Sharawi et al, 2013;Jumbo et al, 2014), herbicidal (Evans and Bellinder, 2009;Park et al, 2011;Stoklosa et al, 2012), antifungal (Omidbeygi et al, 2007;Viuda-Martos et al, 2007;Pinto et al, 2009;Xing et al, 2012), antimicrobial (Mytle et al, 2006;Ayoola et al, 2008;Goni et al, 2009), antibacterial (Saeed and Tariq, 2008;Fu et al, 2009;Devi et al, 2010), antioxidant (Jirovetz et al, 2006;Whent et al, 2009;Ozcan and Arslan, 2011;Gulcin et al, 2012;Shi et al, 2014), antiinflammatory (Arung et al, 2011;Bachiega et al, 2012;Baker et al, 2013), anaesthetic (Javahery et al, 2012;Vazquez et al, 2013;Yildiz et al, 2013;Simitzis et al, 2014), anticariogenic …”

In vitro susceptibility of Microsporum spp. and mammalian cells to Eugenia caryophyllus essential oil, eugenol and semisynthetic derivatives

“…EO of Eugenia caryophyllus and eugenol have been reported for their biological activity . Also, eugenol has been isolated from different natural sources such as pepper, bay leaves and cinnamon and is a major phenolic constituent of clove …”

An inexpensive and environmentally friendly staining method for semi-permanent slides from plant material probed using anatomical and computational chemistry analyses

“…One of the main components of the essential oil of Indian clove is eugenol (up to 95%; Kegley et al 2010;Milind & Deepa 2011). The clove essential oil and eugenol have been described as having useful acaricidal (Mahakittikun et al 2014), insecticidal (Jumbo et al 2014), antifungal (Xing et al 2012), antimicrobial (Goni et al 2009), antibacterial (Devi et al 2010), antioxidant (Shi et al 2014), and anticancer characteristics (Dwivedi et al 2011). Clove oil, because of its eugenol content, has a rather higher solubility in water than other essential oils (Purwanti et al 2016) and presents low toxicity.…”
