“…Several authors have reported on the antimicrobial effects of J. officinale, C. sinensis and C. limon EO in vitro. Khan et al [18] observed antimicrobial activity of the cold water extract of J. officinale (leaves) against Pseudomonas aeruginosa followed by Bacillus subtilis, Escherichia coli and Proteus vulgaris. Viuda-Martos et al [19] have found that orange essential oil was the most effective against A.…”

The aim of the present study was to assess the antifungal and anti-toxinogenic activity of 15 essential oils (EOs) against three fungi of the genus Aspergillus (A. parasiticus KMi-227-LR, A. parasiticus KMi-220-LR and A. flavus KMi-202-LR). The minimum inhibitory doses (MIDs) of the tested essential oils and their antifungal activity were determined using the micro-atmosphere method. The original commercial essential oil samples of Jasminum officinale L., Thymus vulgaris L., Syzygium aromaticum (L.) Merrill & Perry, Rosmarinus officinalis L., Ocimum basilicum L., Eucalyptus globulus Labill., Salvia officinalis L., Citrus limon (L.) Burm, Origanum vulgare L., Lavandula angustifolia Mill., Carum carvi L., Citrus sinensis (L.) Osbeck., Zingiber officinalis Rosc., Mentha piperita L. and Cinnamomum zeylanicum Nees. (C. verum J.S.Presl.) were produced in Slovakia (Calendula a.s., Nová Ľubovňa, Slovakia). All essential oils exhibited activity against all tested strains of fungi. After 14 days of incubation, A. flavus (KMi-202-LR) showed the highest susceptibility with a growth inhibition percentage (GIP) of 18.70% to C. limon and 5.92% to C. sinensis, while A. parasiticus (KMi-220-LR) exhibited a GIP of 20.56% to J. officinale. The minimum inhibitory doses (MIDs) of EOs with the most significant activity were recorded. The best antifungal activity, using the micro-atmosphere method was found in S. aromaticum with an MID of 62.5 μL L air, T. vulgaris (MID of 62.5 μL L air) and O. vulgare (MID of 31.5 μL L air) against all tested strains. Mycotoxin production of the tested strains was evaluated by the thin layer chromatography (TLC) method. Mycotoxin production of AFB and AFG was inhibited following all treatments with C. carvi, R. officinale and S. officinale, Eucalyptus globulus L. and O. basilicum L. Essential oils exhibited a potential inhibition activity against toxic fungi, although, these affected only the production of AFB.

Objectives The main objective of this review was to collect scattered literature on ethnomedicinal plants used to treat pneumonia and tuberculosis in the Himalayan region and their in‐vitro validation against bacterial pathogens. Key findings Current review contains information on ethnomedicines of total 137 plants from Himalaya region. Out of these, 59 plants have been studied in vitro against bacteria while seven plants extracts have been checked for their toxicological effects. The most commonly used plant families for pneumonia and tuberculosis therapy in the study region were Asteraceae, Bignoniaceae and Fabaceae (seven plants in each); of these, Curcuma longa L., Punica granatum L. and Justicia adhatoda L. carried the most inhibiting potential against Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus pneumoniae while that of Acalypha indica L. against Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Different compounds such as ascorbic acid, curcumin, vasicine, piperine, quercetin, myricetin and gallic acid being reportedly isolated from these plants possess antibacterial potential. Summary Himalayan region has variety of ethnomedicinal plants used against pneumonia and tuberculosis; however, studies on in‐vivo activity, toxicology and mechanism of action are very limited. Hence, detailed investigation on these aspects needs to be carried out for the development of novel antibacterial drugs from the studied plant species.

Biological Effects of Paullinia cupana (Guarana) in Combination with Whole-Body Vibration Exercise in Wistar Rats

et al. 2020

In addition to its nutritional value, Paullinia cupana (guarana) is commonly used in traditional medicine, known for its stimulant and medicinal properties. This investigation evaluated the effects of a guarana extract in combination with whole-body vibration (WBV) exercises on Wistar rats. Rats (male, n = 20) were divided into the following four groups: control (CON), treated with guarana (GUA), submitted to 50 Hz of WBV (WBV-E), treated with guarana and submitted to 50 Hz of WBV (GUA + WBV-E), daily for 6-weeks. Guarana altered (p < 0.05) the uptake of the radiopharmaceutical sodium pertechnetate (Na99mTcO4) in muscle. Additionally, it modified the stool consistency, and in combination with WBV decreased the food intake without modifying body mass. The levels of calcium increased in the groups submitted to WBV exercises (WBV-E and GUA + WBV-E) as compared with the GUA group. The outcomes provide additional evidence of the biological effects of guarana separately or in combination with WBV and supports the use of guarana as a functional food.
