“…Antimicrobial activity against multiresistant clinical isolates of 11 pathogenic bacteria of a carvacrol chemotype of Lavandula coronopifolia was assessed . In a recent study, Thyme EO is able to reduce of 59.7–85.0 % biofilm biomass formed by methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) strains, while Lavandula multifida L. EO showed anti‐MRSA activity since the inhibition diameters reached 27 mm and MIC s were lower than 0.1 μg/mL in a study against 14 strains . Synergistic effects of sub‐inhibitory concentrations of Salvia officinalis EO and different antibiotics against MRSA were also evaluated by Milenković et al .…”

[282] Synergistic effects of sub-inhibitory concentrations of Salvia officinalis EO and different antibiotics against MRSA were also evaluated by Milenković et al [283] Authors highlighted the presence of different interactions between tested oil and antibiotics from synergistic to antagonistic on different clinical isolates of MRSA suggesting the necessity for systematic in vitro studies of interactions of EOs and antibiotics to reveal any undesirable combinations. The antimicrobial activity against multidrug resistant Escherichia coli J53 R1 of L. angustifolia EO in combination with piperacillin was also evaluated.…”

Lamiaceae is one of the largest families of flowering plants comprising about 250 genera and over 7,000 species. Most of the plants of this family are aromatic and therefore important source of essential oils. Lamiaceae are widely used as culinary herbs and reported as medicinal plants in several folk traditions. In the Mediterranean area oregano, sage, rosemary, thyme and lavender stand out for geographical diffusion and variety of uses. The aim of this review is to provide recent data dealing with the phytochemical and pharmacological studies, and the more recent applications of the essential oils and the non‐volatile phytocomplexes. This literature survey suggests how the deeper understanding of biomolecular processes in the health and food sectors as per as pest control bioremediation of cultural heritage, or interaction with human microbiome, fields, leads to the rediscovery and new potential applications of well‐known plants.

“…The high amounts of carvacrol in Portuguese L. multifida EOs are in accordance to those reported from Moroccan [25,48], and Algerian samples [49], nevertheless they must be considered different since cisβ-ocimene (2) also occurs in relatively high amounts, not observed for the Moroccan and Algerian samples. According to Khadir et al [50] and Messaoud et al [51], the EOs obtained from L. multifida collected in several places of Algeria or Tunisia, respectively, were predominantly constituted of carvacrol (3) and β-bisabolene (4). This profile was also previously reported by Chograni et al [52] who found those compounds in samples collected in different places in Tunisia, however, in the same country, Msaada et al [53] reported linalool-rich samples.…”

Spontaneous lavender growing in uncultivated fields in Portugal have been used in traditional medicine for internal and external uses. The essential oils (EOs) of Lavandula stoechas subsp. luisieri are characterized by the presence of trans-α-necrodyl acetate and trans-necrodol. These EOs are able to prevent the generation and deposition of neurotoxic β-amyloid peptide in Alzheimer’s disease. The EOs also present antibacterial, anti-fungal, anti-Leishmania, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and antifeedant effects. In the case of hydrodistillation, the predominant compound of Lavandula viridis EO was 1,8-cineole, nevertheless in the case of supercritical fluid extraction, the main constituent was camphor. In in vitro shoots EOs, 1,8-cineole and α-pinene were the most important compounds. The EOs presented anti-fungal activity particularly against Cryptococcus neoformans and dermatophytes. The antioxidant and anti-protozoal activities of L. viridis EOs were lower than L. stoechas subsp. luisieri EOs, with hydrodistillation being the best method for obtaining samples with higher antioxidant and anti-acetylcholinesterase activities. The presence of fenchone, 1,8-cineole and camphor was a common trace of the Lavandula pedunculata subsp. pedunculata EOs and in in vitro axillary shoots EOs. Lavandula pedunculata subsp. lusitanica EOs were predominantly constituted of fenchone and camphor. The antioxidant activity of L. pedunculata subsp. lusitanica EOs was poorer than other Lavandula EOs from Portugal.

“…Other Lavandula species were studied for their chemical compositions and biological activities in the literature and results showed either differences or similarities with major compound compositions of L. angustifolia. For example, the EO of hydrodistilled L. multifida from Algeria at three developmental stages showed that the main components were carvacrol (from 27.5 to 57.0%), β-bisabolene (from 25.2 to 38.4%) and caryophyllene oxide (from 3.5 to 7.5%) [65].…”

The Lavandula genus, belonging to the Lamiaceae, includes 39 species, with nearly 400 registered cultivars. Lavandula are worldwide plants that occur over the Mediterranean, Europe, North Africa, southwest Asia to southeast India. Lavandula plants have been used since ancient time to flavor and preserved food, to treat diseases including wound healing, sedative, antispasmodic, microbial and viral infections. Numerous researches have described the chemical composition and the primary components of lavender oils are the monoterpenoids (linalool, linalyl acetate, 1,8-cineole, β-ocimene, terpinen-4-ol, and camphor), sesquiterpenoids (β-caryophyllene and nerolidol) and other terpenoid compounds (e.g., perillyl alcohol). The high concentrations of linalyl acetate make them attractive in perfumery, flavoring, cosmetics and soap industries. Currently, data on the antimicrobial activity of lavender plants have been scientifically confirmed. Indeed, lavender essential oils possess wide spectra of biological activities such as antispasmodic, carminative, analgesic, sedative, hypotensive, antiseptic, antimicrobial, antifungal, antidiuretic and general tonic action. In addition, clinical studies support their uses as treatment of health conditions. However, further clinical studies are necessary to define the magnitude of the efficacy, mechanisms of action, optimal doses, long-term safety, and, potential side effects of lavender plants.
