“…Caries and periodontal disease are especially of concern to public health, where they affect a large part of the population. P. amboinicus , rich in carvacrol, has shown an antagonistic effect when used with mouthwash to avoid bacterial growth in the oral cavity [76]. This could be a potential alternative treatment for diseases related to oral cavities.…”

Plectranthus amboinicus (Lour.) Spreng. is a perennial herb belonging to the family Lamiaceae which occurs naturally throughout the tropics and warm regions of Africa, Asia and Australia. This herb has therapeutic and nutritional properties attributed to its natural phytochemical compounds which are highly valued in the pharmaceutical industry. Besides, it has horticultural properties due to its aromatic nature and essential oil producing capability. It is widely used in folk medicine to treat conditions like cold, asthma, constipation, headache, cough, fever and skin diseases. The leaves of the plant are often eaten raw or used as flavoring agents, or incorporated as ingredients in the preparation of traditional food. The literature survey revealed the occurrence 76 volatiles and 30 non-volatile compounds belonging to different classes of phytochemicals such as monoterpenoids, diterpenoids, triterpenoids, sesquiterpenoids, phenolics, flavonoids, esters, alcohols and aldehydes. Studies have cited numerous pharmacological properties including antimicrobial, antiinflammatory, antitumor, wound healing, anti-epileptic, larvicidal, antioxidant and analgesic activities. Also, it has been found to be effective against respiratory, cardiovascular, oral, skin, digestive and urinary diseases. Yet, scientific validation of many other traditional uses would be appreciated, mainly to discover and authenticate novel bioactive compounds from this herb. This review article provides comprehensive information on the botany, phytochemistry, pharmacology and nutritional importance of P. amboinicus essential oil and its various solvent extracts. This article allows researchers to further explore the further potential of this multi-utility herb for various biomedical applications.

“…Spreng leaves can be formulated and used as mouthwash which has antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus mutans bacteria 17 . Similarly essential oil of Plectranthus amboinicus Lour (malvariço), has been used by the people for the treatment of diseases of the oral cavity, alone or as a mouthwash against a strain of Streptococcus mutans 18 . Very recently, the bacteriostatic activity 19 of Plectranthus amboinicus was determined.…”

The secondary metabolites being defensive function in plants, the men also thought of using same to defend the chronic diseases by crud drugs or with some organic aromatic molecules. The phenyl groups and other functional groups are bonded together, forming aromatic organic molecules. These molecules are used in perfumes and medicines. The qualitative and quantitative aromatic and medicinal compounds isolation was carried out from Isodon nilgherricus (Benth.) H. Hara. The qualitative analysis was carried out by various solvent extraction tests, and quantitative analysis was carried out by GC-MS technique. The qualitative analysis of essential oil showed the presence of Butenal <2-methyl-> which has 100% area covered with a retention time of 1.905. Quantitative analysis led to the identification of 32 different compounds from total 38 different peaks. The predominant components of the oil detected were Butyl pentanoate, pentanoic acid (13.60%), Norbornene-2-methonol, bicycle (2.2.1) hept-5-ene-2 methanol (1R-endo) with 5.25% concentration. It was followed by Ethyl 3-hydroxyhexanoate, hexanoic acid, 3, hydroxy-ethyl easter (4.45%), Isobutyl angelate (3.10%), Butanoic acid (2.45%). Butyl pentanoate is the major compound that gives the aroma in this plant.

“…Several studies have been evaluated the antimicrobial activity against some fungal or bacteria. The essential oil of this herb is proofed not only has antibacterial activity against Bacillus subtilis, Eschericia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Pseudomonas aureginosa, Proteus vulgaris, Bacillus subtiliis, Staphylococcus mutans, and Serratia marencens, but also antifungal activity against Candida albicans and Candida tropicalis [2][3][4][5] Although, the most of previous studies had explore antibacterial activity from essential oil or extract of Indian borage. However, these studies didn't explore antibacterial activity from ethanol extract of Indian Borage against Bacillus cereus, previous study had been explore the bacterial effect but it didn't explore antibacterial activity against Bacillus cereus and almost none study explore antibacterial activity from ethanol extract.…”

Bacillus cereus is aerobic, positive gram, and spore-forming bacilli bacteria. The enterotoxin of this bacteria can cause food poisonous that manifest as diarrhea and vomitus. Some previous study has been performed to explore the antibacterial effect of Indian borage leaf, but none of them were explore the antibacterial effect of Indian borage against Bacillus cereus. Hence this study was design to explore the antibacterial activity of ethanol extract of Indian borage against Bacillus cereus. This was an experimental study with post only control group design. Ethanol extract was extracted by maceration methods and antibacterial activity against Bacillus cereus was evaluated by disc diffusion methods. The obtained ethanol extract was dissolved into some concentraions (1 g/ml, 0.8 g/ml, 0.6 g/ml, 0.4 g/ml, 0.2 g/ml). Data was analysed by One Way ANOVA and followed by Post hoc Test Tukey HSD using SPSS 25. Ethanol extract of Coleus amboinicus showed significant difference at the two highest concentration group against the lowest concentration (P- Value < 0.05). The average of inhibition zone diameter from the lowest (0.2 gr/ml) and highest (1.0 gr/ml) concentration were 14.87 mm and 31.50 mm, respectively. Overall, ethanol extract of Indian borage leaves had potential antibacterial activity against Bacillus cereus. This antibacterial activity increase followed by the increase of the concentration.
