“…In this study, the antimicrobial effect of lupeol was shown to be more than well-known antibiotics such as ampicillin and tioconazole (Ajaiyeoba et al, 2003). Hernández-Pérez et al (1994) has reported the antimicrobial activity of lupeol-containing Visnea mocanera leaf extract. Further, lupeol has been reported to exhibit anti-viral activity (Hernández-Pérez et al, 1994).…”

“…Hernández-Pérez et al (1994) has reported the antimicrobial activity of lupeol-containing Visnea mocanera leaf extract. Further, lupeol has been reported to exhibit anti-viral activity (Hernández-Pérez et al, 1994). Lupeol exhibited significantly high antiviral activity when tested against Herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV1) virus.…”

“…Lupeol is reported to inhibit the growth of a several types of bacteria, fungi and viral species (Hernández-Pérez et al, 1994;Ajaiyeoba et al, 2003;Tanaka et al, 2004;Erazo et al, 2008;Shai et al, 2008;Abd-Alla et al, 2009;Ahmed et al, 2010). Lupeol has been found to act as an effective anti-bacterial agent when tested against both gram positive and gram negative bacteria (Erazo et al, 2008;Ahmed et al, 2010).…”

“…The relative abundance of antibacterial fatty acids such as lauric acid (Ouattara et al, 1997) may account for the microbicidal effect of this extract. The leaf terpene extract, which contains an abundance of antimicrobial betulinic acid (Hernandez-Perez et al, 1994), and the aglycone extracts which contain antimicrobial phytosterols such as β-sitosterol (Kiprono et al, 2000), also showed moderate antibacterial activity against S. aureus. None of the leaf or twig extracts were active against the gram-negative rod, E. coli, at concentrations ≤10 mg/mL.…”

Phytochemical analysis and biological screening of leaf and twig extracts fromKunzea ericoides

Kunzea ericoides is a member of the Myrtle group of tea trees. Leaf and twig material of K. ericoides was extracted with different solvents to afford terpene (including the essential oil), flavonoid and lipid classes (but no alkaloid class), which were subsequently screened for antibacterial, antitumour, cytotoxic, antioxidant and antiinflammatory activity. Differences were observed in the biological activity for the chemical classes tested, and in general, the leaf extracts were comparatively more bioactive than the twig extracts. The leaf lipid extract was the most bioactive fraction, exhibiting antibacterial, antitumour and antiinflammatory activity. Thin layer chromatography and gas chromatography-mass spectroscopy analysis of each extract revealed previously identified phytochemicals that may be responsible for the observed bioactivities.

Different extracts of Visneu mocuneru L. f. (Theaceae) were evaluated for analgesic, antipyretic, antiinflammatory and ulcerogenic properties in mice and rats. The acetone extract from the leaves and the syrup from the fruits exerted central analgesic properties, associated with significant but transient antiinflammatory effects on acute inflammatory processes. The acetone extract also possessed topical antiinflammatory effects. The extracts assayed did not display antipyretic and ulcerogenic activity. Sub-acute toxicological experiments indicated a very low toxicity in mice.
