“…pseudocaryophyllus uma espécie interessante Quanto à atividade biológica do citral presente no óleo essencial de Pimenta pseudocaryophyllus var. pseudocaryophyllus, os resultados encontrados, são concordantes com os trabalhos efetuados por Aurore et al (1998), com Pimenta racemosa, Myrtaceae, e de Chalchat et al (1997), com Cymbopogon citratus, ambas espécies contendo neral e geranial (citral) como principais componentes com atividade inibitória contra Escherichia coli e Staphylococus aureus.…”

Antimicrobial activity and essential oils yield of Pimenta pseudocaryophyllus var. pseudocaryophyllus (Gomes) Landrum, Myrtaceae. The essential oils of Pimenta pseudocaryophyllus var. pseudocaryophyllus specimens from two distinct locations: Campos do Jordão and Itaquaquecetuba, were tested to detect antimicrobial activity to the microorganisms Aspergillus niger, Penicillium verrucosum, Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus in medium culture. The method utilized was impregnated filter paper in essential oils . The essential oil extraction was made through method of Clevenger modified for Wasicky in 1963, for the hydrodistilation. The monoterpene citral was tested under the same conditions of the essential oils. The microorganisms development under these conditions presented the following results: the oil of P. pseudocaryophyllus var. pseudocaryophyllus from Campos do Jordão had the same antimicrobial activity that citral, inhibiting in 72,7 % and 71,5%, the growth of the microorganisms, significantly higher than the level of the oil originated from Itaquaquecetuba that presented 38,8% of inhibition. About to the microorganisms, the growth inhibition was higher for P. verrucosum (83,3%), followed by A. niger (71,9%) and S. aureus (70,3%). The minimal inhibitory activity was presented by E. coli (18,4%). Except for E. coli, which presented the same characteristic of inhibition for two oils and the citral, all the other factors presented significant interaction, showing specificity of reaction for each one of the levels of these factors. These data demonstrated the antimicrobial potential of the essential oil of the Pimenta pseudocaryophyllus var. pseudocaryophyllus The yield of essential oil collected in Campos do Jordão was 2,3% and the species collected in Itaquaquecetuba was 1,9% (w/v).

“…Eugenol (Oger et al. 1994) and chavichol (Aurore et al. 1998) are two other components of A. rugosa oil reported to have strong antimicrobial properties and may contribute to the antifungal activity of the oil, although they are present in very low concentrations (1·0 and 0·9%, respectively).…”

Aims: To evaluate the fungitoxic activity of the essential oil of Agastache rugosa alone and to determine its combination effect with ketoconazole against Blastoschizomyces capitatus. Methods and Results: The antifungal activities of the essential oil of A. rugosa and its main constituent estragole were investigated using the broth microdilution, disk diffusion methods and checkerboard microtitre assay. Both estragole and the essential oil exhibited strong activities against the tested fungi and showed synergism with ketoconazole against B. capitatus. Conclusions: Both estragole and the essential oil of A. rugosa have significant growth-inhibiting activities against B. capitatus showing strong synergistic effect with ketoconazole. Significance and Impact of the Study: The essential oil of A. rugosa, combined with ketoconazole, may be particularly useful against B. capitatus, a rare pathogenic fungus documented to cause severe and fatal mycoses in immunocompromised patients.
