“…The abietic acids were stronger antibacterial agents than pimaric and labdane acids, and among the individual resin acids, dehydroabietic acid was generally the most potent (Shuaib, et al, 2013). Diterpene antimicrobial activity against certain microorganisms associated with the presence of the group in the molecule functional groups such as carboxyl, hydroxyl, aldehyde or ketone and among other groups.…”

“…Resin of P. ponterosa effective against Gram-positive bacteria Bacillus subtilis (ATCC 9372) and Brevibacterium ammoniagenes (ATCC 6872) with a paper disc method (Himejima et al, 1992). Shuaib et al (2013) reported that the resin of P. roxburghii showed better activity against Gram-positive than Gram-negative bacterial strains. Research conducted by Sipponen and Laitinen (2011) revealed that the pure resin of Picea abies significantly reduce the amount of bacteria inoculation (S. aureus, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Bacillus subtilis, and Candida albicans) within 24 hours.…”

The most common human pathogen that colonizes in a third of healthy people around the world are Staphylococcus aureus, and one of the materials allegedly able to overcome the pathogen is resin. Resin has been used in folk medicine for thousands of years to treat diseases. The antimicrobial activity of natural resins can be associated with a variety of organic compounds contained in them such as diterpenoids and triterpenoids. This research aimed to explore the antibacterial and antioxidant activities of Pinus merkusii, P. oocarpa, P. insularis, Agathis loranthifolia resins and essential oil. Resin was separated by distillation process to get essential oil and the residue was extracted using n-hexane, ethyl acetate (EtOAc), and methanol (MeOH). Antioxidant activity was performed by DPPH (1,1diphenyl-2-picryl hydrazyl) radical scavenging method. The antibacterial activity of resins and essential oil of the samples determined using the disc diffusion method against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli. The results showed that the yield of resin extract was ranging from 8.44 % to 95.56%. All extracts and essential oil could not inhibit E coli growth but inhibit the S. aureus growth. This experiment concluded that resin n-hexane extract from P.oocarpa was the most potent as antibacterial activity against S. aureus. All of the samples used had less potential antioxidant activity compared to positive control ascorbic acid. Result of this study show that pine resin from Indonesia is potential as an antibacterial agent.

“…Also herbal medicines have been known to man for centuries (Almagboul et al, 1988;Michie and Cooper, 1991;Newall et al, 1996;Azaizeh et al, 2003;Hawar, 2008;Saadabi and Moglad, 2011;Gadir and Ahmed, 2014). Therapeutic efficacy of many oleo-gum resins for many disorders has been described by practitioners of traditional medicine (Wanner et al, 2010;Shuaib et al, 2013;Singh et al, 2013). Myrrh Commiphora myrrha has been used for centuries as incense and for medicinal purposes (Claeson et al, 1991;Michie and Cooper, 1991;Al-Harbi et al, 1997;Al Faraj, 2005).…”

The present work was aimed to evaluate oleo-gum resins aqueous, methanol and chloroform extracts of Commiphora myrrha for antimicrobial activity against four types of bacteria and twelve species and strains of fungi. All of the oleo-gum resin extracts irrespective of their types inhibited the growth of all microbes to varying degrees. Aqueous extract showed the least antibacterial and antifungal activity against all of the pathogens used especially with regard to gram positive bacteria Staphylococcus aureus (11 mm) and Escherichia coli (11 mm) in concentration of 100 mg mLG 1 as compared to methanol or chloroform. Less or no activity was observed against Trichophyton concentricum (7.01 mm) and 4.01 mm inhibition zone for Candida rugosa in the same concentration used. The oleo-gum resins methanol extracts in different concentrations were significantly inhibitory to the growth of the different tested fungal dermatophytes. Reduction in mycelial weight of fungi was directly correlated with concentration of extract. The concentration of 200 mg mLG 1 of myrrha was the most inhibitory against Epidermophyton floccosum with 2 g mycelial fresh weight while the less inhibition in the growth was obtained in Candida albicans and it was 6.61 g in the same extract concentration. The other used fungal or bacterial groups showed varying degrees of activity pending on the type of extract used. The Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) values of methanol and aqueous extracts of oleo-gum resins of myrrh showed that the highest values were obtained in methanol extract for Trichophyton concentricum and lowest MIC values for the same extract for the bacterium Staphylococcus aureus. In the aqueous extract of myrrha the highest and lowest MIC values were found for Bacillus subtilis and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Phytochemical analyses showed the presence of Sesquiterpenes (Isoprenoids i.e., Terpenoids) and Furanosesquiterpenes as major constituents of the oleo-gum resins of the plant. These results confirm the antibacterial and antifungal activity of gum resins and support the traditional use of the myrrh in therapy of bacterial infections.

“…It was reported to have several medicinal importances, such as intestinal antiseptic, antidyslipidemic, and spasmolytic [2]. The wood, resin, gum, oil, seeds, needle, and bark from P. roxburghii have been used for the treatment of several diseases in many parts of the world [3]. Furthermore, it is the rich source of terpenoids, flavonoids, tannins, and xanthones [4].…”
