“…The essential oil of M. insularis showed the highest activity against Staphylococcus xylosus with an MIC value of 3.6 μ L/mL. Moreover, Venturi et al [82] reported the antifungal action of the essential oils extracted from Glechon spathulata and G. marifolia against the dermatophytic fungi Trichophyton rubrum and Epidermophyton floccosum . The MIC values ranged from 10 to 83 mg/mL against T. rubrum and 83 to 500 mg/mL against E. floccosum .…”

“…HSV-1 is the cause of common viral infections in humans, such as herpetic keratitis, herpetic encephalitis, mucocutaneous herpes infections, and neonatal herpes. Studies on the essential oils of Artemisia arborescens, Glechon spathulata , and Glechon marifolia found that they strongly suppressed HSV-1 [82, 93, 138]. Melissa officinalis essential oils have major constituents, namely, citral and citronellal, which could inhibit the replication of HSV-2 [96, 133, 137].…”

A wide range of medicinal and aromatic plants (MAPs) have been explored for their essential oils in the past few decades. Essential oils are complex volatile compounds, synthesized naturally in different plant parts during the process of secondary metabolism. Essential oils have great potential in the field of biomedicine as they effectively destroy several bacterial, fungal, and viral pathogens. The presence of different types of aldehydes, phenolics, terpenes, and other antimicrobial compounds means that the essential oils are effective against a diverse range of pathogens. The reactivity of essential oil depends upon the nature, composition, and orientation of its functional groups. The aim of this article is to review the antimicrobial potential of essential oils secreted from MAPs and their possible mechanisms of action against human pathogens. This comprehensive review will benefit researchers who wish to explore the potential of essential oils in the development of novel broad-spectrum key molecules against a broad range of drug-resistant pathogenic microbes.

Background: Due to the increasing resistance of pathogenic bacteria to common antibiotics, researchers are seeking alternative antimicrobial agents with plant origins. Objectives: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the activity of essential oil, extracted from the leaves of Eucalyptus camaldulensis, the major Eucalyptus species cultivated in Khuzestan, South of Iran, against the growth of drug-resistant bacteria. Methods: Essential oil was extracted from the leaves using the hydrodistillation method in a Clevenger apparatus. The constituents of the essential oil were determined by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Moreover, the antimicrobial activity of essential oil was assayed using the disk diffusion method. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) were also determined using the macrodilution method.

“…These observations show that the significant activity of M. exotica leaf may be due to the presence of major chemical constituents such as β-caryophyllene. Several studies reported that β-caryophyllene in other plants possessed insecticidal activity (Zhu & Tian, 2011;Krishnamoorthy et al, 2015;Venturi et al, 2015;Salleh et al, 2015). M. exotica as a popular hedge plant well adapted for topiary work is widely distributed in southern China and several tropical and subtropical regions of Asia.…”

The effect of volatile compounds from the mashed fresh, fallen, and dried leaves of Murraya exotica on the behavior of red imported fire ant (Solenopsis invicta, RIFA) workers was investigated by fumigation toxicity bioassay. The volatile compounds from different mashed leaves (fresh, fallen, and dried leaves) of M. exotica were collected by solid-phase microextraction and identified by gas chromatography–mass spectrometry. β-Caryophyllene, α-cedrene, α-copaene, β-cubebene, and germacrene D were identified as major components of the volatile compounds. In exposure time from 1 d to 9 d, the mortality of RIFA increased from 5.00% to 100.00% (fresh leaves), 11.67% to 93.33% (fallen leaves), and 15.00% to 83.33% (dried leaves) in minor workers, whereas in major workers, the increases were from 13.33% to 93.33% (fresh leaves), 6.67% to 83.33% (fallen leaves), and 10.00% to 60.00% (dried leaves). The volatile compounds reduced the walking and grasping abilities and aggregation rate of RIFA workers. Results indicate that mashed leaves of M. exotica have potential for controlling RIFA.
