“…The essential oil of F. vulgare fruits possesses antibacterial, antifungal and anti-nematode activity (Abdollahi, Hassani, Ghosta, Meshkatalsadat, & Shabani, 2011;Ntalli, Ferrari, Giannakou, & Menkissoglu-Spiroudi, 2011). Moreover, F. vulgare essential oil has been shown to exhibit toxicity and repellency against several coleopteran stored product insects, mites and mosquitoes (Kim & Ahn, 2001;Lee et al, 2006;Lee, 2004;Prajapati, Tripathi, Aggarwal, & Khanuja, 2005;Shukla, Upadhyay, & Tripathi, 1989). Given these prior findings, it is expected that the essential oil from the fruits of F. vulgare would also be toxic to the booklouse, as might other essential oils.…”

“…This finding could suggest that P. pruatjan might share phytochemical characteristics with the African Pimpinella species. European and Asian Pimpinella species have significant biological activities, such as antifungal [23], antiviral [24], and anticonvulsant effects in mice [25]. Unfortunately, no report could be found so far about the biological activity of African Pimpinella species.…”

The species-rich and diverse genus Pimpinella is mainly distributed in Europe and Asia; a few species occur in Africa. Yet, the Javanian Pimpinella, P. pruatjan, which has been used as an aphrodisiac in Indonesian traditional medicine, was studied for the first time in the context of chemical composition, as well as phylogeny analysis and antimicrobial activity. We examined the chemical composition of the essential oil (EO) from aerial parts of P. pruatjan by gas liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (GLC-MS). The main component of EO was (Z)-γ-bisabolene. Several oxygenated monoterpenes, oxygenated sesquiterpenes, and sesquiterpenes were also detected. The genetic relationship of Pimpinella pruatjan Molk. to other Pimpinella species was reconstructed using nucleotide sequences of the nuclear DNA marker ITS (Internal Transcribed Spacer). P. pruatjan clusters as a sister group to the African Pimpinella species. The EO did not exhibit an apparent antimicrobial activity.

“…It was concluded that the alcoholic extract of this plant on Micrococcus luteus and Mycobacterium semgmatism show antibacterial properties (11). Shukla's study (15) regarding the evaluation of antifungal agents in the main oil of Pipinella anisum showed that the main oil of this plant that has a significant antifungal effect is Anethol. Akhtar et al (16), reviewed the effect of different fractions of Anisum extract on pathogenic bacteria.…”

Evaluation of Antimicrobial Effect of the Pimpinella Anisumpolar Extract on Some Bacteria in Skin Diseases

2018

Background: Some pathogenic bacteria cause diseases under certain conditions, such as entry through the skin via a cut. Staphylococcus and Pseudomonas can be commonly found on the skin; yet, these species can potentially initiate skin infections. Considering the importance of these bacteria in skin infections and based on the world attraction to traditional treatment, the present study was conducted to determine the antibacterial effect of Pimpinella anisum polar extract on standard strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus. Methods: Antimicrobial effect of anisum's polar extract was determined by the well diffusion agar and microtitr plate for determining the minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) and minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) on Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Results: Inhibition zones were recorded for both bacteria in this study. The MIC/MBC assay showed that Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacteria had the highest susceptibility to the anisum's polar extract. Conclusions: Considering the antibacterial effects of the Pimpinella anisum extract, the extract of this plant can be studied as a treatment for skin infections.
