“… α-terpineol is an important candidate for such a biologically active component (Kotan et al, 2007;Park et al, 2009; But some studies report that whole essential oils have a greater antimicrobial activity than the major components mixed (Gill et al, 2002;Mourey & Canillac, 2002). This finding suggests that minor components like carotol, spathulenol, eudesmol, and cisocymene, present in our samples, could also affect the antimicrobial properties (Jasicka-Misiak et al, 2004;Razavi et al, 2009;Ugur et al, 2009).…”

RESUMO:Óleo essencial de Hedyosmum brasiliense Miq., Chloranthaceae: composição e atividade antimicrobiana. Hedyosmum brasiliense Miq., Chloranthaceae, é uma espécie endêmica no Brasil, conhecida como "cidrão". Embora H. brasiliense seja utilizada como calmante na medicina popular, não foi ainda caracterizada quanto aos constituintes químicos. Este trabalho apresenta a composição do óleo essencial, obtido pela destilação de folhas frescas e de amostra de óleo essencial armazenada por três meses, analisadas por GC-FID e CG-MS. Os efeitos inibitórios do óleo essencial foram testados pelo método da diluição em agar, contra seis espécies de bactérias (Bacillus subtilis, Escherichia coli, Proteus mirabilis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus e S. saprophyticus). Adicionalmente, seis espécies de fungos (Candida albicans, C. parapsilosis, Microsporum canis, M. gypseum, Trichophyton rubrum e T. mentagrophytes) foram incluídas. Dentre os principais constituintes, α-terpineol (10,2%), curzereno (8,9%), pinocarvona (8,4%) e β-tujeno (7,1%) foram os encontrados em maior quantidade. O óleo essencial apresentou baixa atividade contra microorganismos Gram-negativos. Entretanto, a atividade é extraordinária contra bactérias Gram-positivas e fungos, com valores de MIC entre 0,125 a 2,5% (v/v). Unitermos:Hedyosmum brasiliense, Chloranthaceae, óleo essencial, atividade antimicrobiana. ABSTRACT:Hedyosmum brasiliense Miq., Chloranthaceae, is an endemic species of Brazil, locally known as "cidrão". Although H. brasiliense is popularly used as sedative, chemical constituents of this species remains uncharacterized. This work presents the essential oil composition, obtained by the distillation of fresh leaves and a sample stored for three months, analysed by GC-FID and GC-MS. The inhibitory effects of the essential oil were tested by the agar dilution method against six bacterial species (Bacillus subtilis, Escherichia coli, Proteus mirabilis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus and S. saprophyticus). In addition, six fungal species (Candida albicans, C. parapsilosis, Microsporum canis, M. gypseum, Trichophyton rubrum and T. mentagrophytes) were included. Among the determined constituents, α-terpineol (10.2%), curzerene (8.9%), pinocarvone (8.4%) and β-thujene (7.1%) were found as the main components. The essential oil has low activity only against Gram-negative microorganisms. However, it is a remarkable active against Grampositive bacteria and fungi with MIC values ranging from 0.125 to 2.5% (v/v).

“…The antimicrobial activity of eucalyptus essential oil could be associated with the presence of 1,8-cineole, linalool, and pinocarveol. 1,8-Cineole as well as linalool are well-known substances with pronounced antimicrobial properties (Tzakou et al 2001;Mourey & Canillac 2002;Viljoen et al 2003).…”

Damjanović-Vratnica B., Đakov T., Šuković D., Damjanović J. (2011): Antimicrobial effect of essential oil isolated from Eucalyptus globulus Labill. from Montenegro. Czech J. Food Sci., 29: 277-284.Chemical composition of the essential oil of Eucalyptus globulus Labill., grown in Montenegro, was analysed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry and its antimicrobial activity was evaluated against 17 microorganisms, including food poisoning and spoilage bacteria and human pathogens.The Eucalyptus essential oil yield was 1.8% (w/w) on the fresh weight basis, whereas the analysis resulted in the identification of a total of 11 constituents, 1.8 cineole (85.8%), α-pinene (7.2%), and β-myrcene (1.5%) being the main components. Other compounds identified in the oil were β-pinene, limonene, α-phellandrene, γ-terpinene, linalool, pinocarveol, terpinen-4-ol, and α-terpineol. The results of the antimicrobial activity tests revealed that the essential oil of E. globulus has rather a strong antimicrobial activity, especially against Streptococcus pyogenes, Escherichia coli, Candida albicans, Staphylococcus aureus, acinetobacter baumannii, and klebsiella pneumoniae. Minimum inhibitory concentration revealed the lowest activity against Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Salmonela infantis (3.13 mg/ml) while the highest activity was against S. aureus, E. coli, and S. pyogenes (0.09 mg/ml).

“…It has been well recognized that most of the essential oils have antimicrobial properties (Boyle, 1955;Carson and Riley, 1995;Deans and Ritchie, 1987;Guenther, 1948;Mourey and Canillac, 2002;Shelef, 1983). These characteristics are possibly related to the function of the compounds present in plants (Guenther, 1948;Mahmoud and Croteau, 2002).…”
