Characterization of the Antibacterial Activity and the Chemical Components of the Volatile Oil of the Leaves of Rubus parvifolius L.

Abstract: Rubus parvifolius L. (Rp) is a medicinal herb that possesses antibacterial activity. In this study, we extracted the volatile oil from the leaves of Rp to assess its antibacterial activity and analyze its chemical composition. A uniform distribution design was used to optimize the extraction procedure, which yielded 0.36% (w/w) of light yellowish oil from the water extract of Rp leaves. We found that the extracted oil effectively inhibited the growth of a wide range of Gram positive and negative bacteria, incl… Show more

“…Volatile organic compounds in the extracts were analyzed by using the GC-MS method previously established by Cai and coworkers [16-18]. Conditions included a capillary column (Model Number 19091S-433, HP-5MS, 30 m x 0.25 mm i.d., film thickness 0.25 μm, Agilent Technologies, Santa Clara, CA, USA), sample volume (0.2 mL), helium gas used as a carrier gas with a flow rate of 1.0 mL/min, and mass spectra obtained by electron ionization at 70 eV and detected in a range of 30 - 300 m/z.…”

“…In assay, the extracts (50, 100 and 200 µg/mL) were incubated with working ABTS •+ solution for 15 min and the absorbance measured at 734 nm. ABTS • scavenging capacity of the extracts was calculated by comparing with a standard curve of trolox (0 - 200 µg/mL) [17, 18]. The percentage of inhibition was calculated using the following equation (2):…”

“…Although no reports on volatile metabolites from R. ideaus leaves have been published, other Rubus species have been phytochemically investigated for their volatile compounds. Cai et al [32] analyzed the components contained in the hydro-distillated volatile oil from R. parvifolius L. leaves by GC/MS. They identified 29 compounds, with 4-hydroxy-3metoxystirene being the most abundant one (66.05%), followed by 2-hexadecen-1-ol (9.79%), 4-tert-butyl benzoic acid (2.22%), hexanoic acid (2.03%), and linalool (1.39%).…”

“…In an in vitro experiment, Seleshe et al showed that RP has the antioxidant and antimicrobial effects [ 17 ]. The study of Cai et al exhibited that RP showed an antibacterial effect in vitro [ 22 ]. In in vivo animal experiment, Zhang et al reported that RP can inhibit the growth of leukemia K562 cells in vitro and in vivo animals [ 12 ].…”
