“…In their study, the new bioactive molecule, namely heneicosane, showed (Zaidi and Crow 2005) potent antimicrobial activity against Streptococcus pneumoniae and Aspergillus fumigatus at 10 μg/ml concentrations. In other studies, biologically active compounds from medicinal plants Eurya acuminata and Croton caudatus hexatriacontan-1-ol and henicosan-1-ol showed antimicrobial activity against C. albicans and Mycobacterium smegmatis, respectively (Neipihoi et al 2020). Kianfe et al (2020) studied the antimicrobial activity of extract and fractions of Crinum glaucum A. Chev.…”

In traditional medicine of Uzbekistan, around 20% of herbal plants are used to treat various ailments, including diseases caused by pathogenic bacteria and fungi. Though conventional medicinal plants are common in Uzbekistan, many plant species potentially useful for new pharmaceuticals are less studied. They contain various biological compounds with antibacterial and antifungal activities, that could be developed into drugs. The search for novel antimicrobial compounds, especially against multidrug-resistant pathogens from aromatic and herbal plants is an essential scientific research line. However, the antimicrobial properties of several medicinally important plants from various countries are still unknown. This review aims to provide an up-to-date report on the antimicrobial activity of medicinal plants endemic to Uzbekistan widely used in traditional medicine.

“…1) smells fragrant, tastes refreshing and sweet, the colour white transparent, crystal delicate (Zhang et al ., 2012). Meanwhile, EH also has the effects of clearing heat, disinfection antibacterial (Neipihoi Narzary et al ., 2021) and moistening dryness, which is deeply favorited by consumers (Zhang et al ., 2013). However, as far as we know, there is no systematic study on EH.…”

Eurya honey (EH) is produced from the nectar of Eurya. In this paper, the physicochemical properties (moisture, free acidity, pH, 5-hydroxymethylfurfural, conductivity, sugar, and colour) of EH were systematically studied for the first time. The total phenols and flavonoids were determined by spectrophotometry, and the contents were 40.29 AE 4.17 mg GAE/100 g and 12.44 AE 0.62 mg RE/100 g, respectively. A total of 232 compounds were identified, and 30 of them were quantified by ultra-performance liquid chromatography coupled with quadrupole/time-of-flight mass spectrometry (UPLC-Q/TOF-MS). The potential markers of EH were abscisic acid (21.3-103.4 μg/100 g), gallic acid (6.9-220.2 μg/100 g), tricoumaroyl spermidine (284.2-518.1 μg/100 g), and kaempferol (15.0-258.7 μg/100 g). EH showed antioxidant capacities in DPPH free radical-scavenging activity (IC 50 : 42.87-131.26 mg mL −1 ), ferric reducing antioxidant capacity (23.22-112.24 μmol FeSO 4 Á7H 2 O/100 g), and ABTS radical-scavenging activity assays (9.51-31.21 μmol Trolox/100 g).

“…E. acuminata (Pentaphylacaceae) is a shrub or tree plant with a height of up to 15 m which lives in forests and shrubs on mountain slopes at an altitude of 700-3000 m. This plant is spread in Bhutan, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Myanmar, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Thailand, dan Vietnam [2,3]. The leaves of E. acuminata have good properties in wound healing, dysentery/diarrhea, typhus, and sore throat [4]. The leaves also can be used as herbal medicine for mothers in childbirth [5], besides that the leaves also can be consumed directly or as a food ingredient [6].…”

“…Faisal et al [8] reported that E. acuminata leaves contain active phytol compounds (acyclic diterperne) and β-sitosterol which have antibacterial properties. E. acuminata also contains the compound hexatriacontan-1-ol which exhibits antimicrobial activity against Candida albicans [4].…”

Antibiotics as modern medicine in the treatment of infections have experienced resistance due to irrational use. Traditional medicinal plants have many chemical components that have been used to treat various diseases including skin diseases, one of them is Eurya acuminata DC. The study aimed to determine the optimum concentration of E. acuminata leaves extract against Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus. This antibacterial test was carried out using the diffusion and dilution method. The concentrations of ethanol extract used were 20%, 40%, 60%, 80% and fresh extract. The highest antibacterial activity of E. acuminata leaves ethanol extract was by diffusion against P. aeruginosa and S. aureus were present at a concentration of 60% with an inhibition zone by 11.72 mm and 10.84 mm, respectively. The MIC and MBC values of the ethanol extract of E. acuminata leaves were not found. It was concluded that E. acuminata leaves ethanol extract might be an alternative antibacterial agent because it was able to inhibit P. aeruginosa and S. aureus.
