“…In Table 2 it is presented the results obtained for the antimicrobial activity against the microorganisms under study. The results obtained in the present study for L. lucidum extracts were similar to those reported by Bajpai et al [28] in L. lucidum oil. However, Bacha et al [29] observed lower antimicrobial activity potential in selected medicinal plants from Ethiopia.…”

Ligustrum lucidum Aiton including its berries have been used in Chinese Traditional Medicine for around 2000 years. Scientific studies developed on the last decades provided evidence on some biological properties of these products, mostly from particular geographic origins. In the present study, L. lucidium berries harvested in two regions of Portugal were considered. Extracts obtained with 100% ethanol, with 50% ethanol/water (v/v) and in boiled water were prepared and several parameters were assessed: antioxidant activity (using two methodologies), antimicrobial activity and phenolic profile. Results suggest that the different biological activities varied according to the region where samples were collected but also with the extraction methodology. Superior antioxidant potential was observed in water extracts, according to both assays, while for the remaining activities the ethanol 50% extracts had the highest activity. In these regions, the L. lucidum berries showed promising biological activities and may be interesting sources of compounds for the development of new drugs for diseases where oxidant reactive species and enzymatic disruption are believed to play a role as well as adjuvants for current antibiotic therapy.

“…Recently, the antibacterial activity of essential oils of Buddleja asiatica, Caesalpinia bonducella, Ginkgo biloba and Ligustrum lucidum are reported (Bajpai et al, 2015;Bajpai et al, 2016;Khan et al, 2015;Shukla et al, 2016). Previous studies showed that multiplication of pathogenic Salmonella spp., Escherichia coli (O157:H7), Listeria monocytogenes, Helicobacter pylori and Mycoplasma pneumoniae were inhibited by essential oils (Burt, 2004).…”

Essential oils are known for their medicinal value since time immemorial and continue to be of vital importance until the present day. The present study describes the composition, antibacterial and anti-oxidant potential of rhizome oil of Hedychium matthewii. Thirty-five constituents of the oil were identified to account for 82.7%, of which 85.7% was monoterpes and the rest were sesquiterpnes. Most of the major constituents were alcohols and linalool was the prominent one (45.7%). The antibacterial assay showed the bactericidal effect of the essential oil and the most susceptible organism was Streptococcus hemolyticus with a zone of inhibition of 33.8 ± 1.7 mm. The reducing power and nitric oxide scavenging activity of the essential oil was far exceeding the reference compound ascorbic acid and it could be the sign of the potential anti-oxidant power of the oil isolated. The present study also revealed the prospective of H. matthewii as a new natural source of linalool, which has medicinal and various industrial applications.
