“…According to the reports presented in Table 3, some Satureja species have unusual chemical profiles. For example; piperitone, piperitenone, and piperitenone oxide are the main compounds of S. parvifolia and S. fruticosa Beguinot (Cabana et al, 2013;Coelho et al, 2007Coelho et al, , 2012Dambolena et al, 2009;Lima et al, 2011;Luna et al, 2008;Viturro et al, 2000). Additionally, camphor was determined as the major compound of S. visianii Silic (Bezic et al, 2009;Dunkic & Bezic, 2008;Vidic et al, 2009).…”

Context: Satureja (Lamiaceae) species are used as flavoring compounds in food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic industries because of its sweetness and simple cultivation characteristics. They have traditionally been used as muscle pain relievers, tonic, and carminative agents to treat stomach and intestinal disorders such as cramps, nausea, indigestion, and diarrhea, due to their considerable phytochemical characteristics. Objective: This review evaluates some information published since 1989 on Satureja genus from a systematic perspective in terms of its pharmacological and phytochemical characteristics. Materials and methods: Web of Science, PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar databases were searched up to March 2014. ''Satureja'' was used as a research term without narrowing or limiting research elements. After obtaining all reports from database (a total number is about 637), the papers were carefully analyzed in order to find data related to the topic of this review. Results: In this review, 453 reports were used which were published between 1989 and 2014. The study was compiled into two sections (Pharmacology and Phytochemistry). In the pharmacology section, more than 50 different activities were studied. In the second section, in addition to other compounds and inorganic substances, volatiles, phenolic acids, and flavonoids were discussed. Discussion and conclusion: According to our contemporary information, Satureja species have been evaluated for their wide range of biological activities. However, a small part of these studies have been carried out on the active principles. Therefore, in the future, more studies should be carried out to identify responsible phytochemicals for the various activities.

“…The major components were piperitone (34.9%), piperitenone (27.3%), cis-piperitenone epoxide (15.0%), and piperitenone oxide (6.0%) [11]. Zygadlo et al [14] reported piperitenone oxide (69.8%), piperitenone (5.6%), and pulegone (4.4%) as the main constituents of S. parvifolia EO collected from Central Argentina.…”

The antifungal, antibacterial, and insect-repellent activities of the essential oils (EOs) of Acantholippia seriphioides, Artemisia mendozana, Gymnophyton polycephalum, Satureja parvifolia, Tagetes mendocina, and Lippia integrifolia, collected in the Central Andes area, province of San Juan, Argentina, were investigated. The dermatophytes Microsporum gypseum, Trichophyton mentagrophytes, and T. rubrum were inhibited by the EOs of G. polycephalum, L. integrifolia, and S. parvifolia, with minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) between 31.2 and 1000 μg/ml. Moreover, all EOs presented moderate activity against the bacteria tested, and the L. integrifolia and G. polycephalum EOs showed excellent repellent properties against Triatoma infestans, the Chagas disease vector, with repellency values between 60 and 100%. The A. seriphioides, G. polycephalum, and L. integrifolia EOs, obtained by hydrodistillation, were characterized by GC-FID and GC/MS analyses. The highest number of components (40) was identified in L. integrifolia EO, which, along with that of A. seriphioides, contained important amounts of oxygenated monoterpenes (44.35 and 29.72%, resp.). Thymol (27.61%) and carvacrol (13.24%) were the main components of A. seriphioides EO, and borneol, lippifoli-1(6)-en-5-one, and terpinen-4-ol (>8.5%) were the principal compounds of L. integrifolia EO. These results support the idea that oxygenated monoterpenes are the bioactive fractions of the EOs. Finally, the study shows that these Andean species might be used to treat superficial fungal infections and to improve the local Chagas disease situation by vector-control.

“…Eugenol has also shown synergistic effects with conventional antimicrobials [29]. Documented investigations have demonstrated antibacterial activities of EOs rich in piperitenone oxide and piperitone (major constituents of the P. epithilicus and S. robusta oils obtained in the present work) [30]. The presence of these compounds may account for the recorded activities.…”

Essential oils (EOs) have aroused attention among the naturally-occurring therapeutic compounds with antiinfective properties. This study examined the chemical composition and the antibacterial potential of EOs from three Lamiaceae species including Ocimum gratissimum (leaves), Plecthrantus epilithicus (leaves), and Satureja robusta (leaves and flowers). EOs were obtained by hydrodistillation using a Clevenger-type apparatus, followed by characterization by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and flame ionization detector (GC/FID). The antibacterial efficacy of EOs was screened using the microdilution method, against a panel of eight foodborne bacteria isolates namely Enterobacter cloacae, Yersinia enterocolotica, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Salmonella typhi, Escherichia coli, Citrobacter freundii, Shigella flexneri, and Enterococcus faecalis. GC-MS and GC/FID analysis led to the identification of 53 components from EOs of P. epilithicus, while around forty compounds have been characterized from the EOs of O. gratissimum (43), leaves of Satureja robusta (43), and flowers of S. robusta (44). The nature of identified compounds varied according to the species. The most prevalent volatile compounds identified in the EOs of P. epilithicus were piperitenone oxide (23.65%) and two isomers piperitone oxide 2/2 (16.15%) and piperitone oxide 1/2 (7.24%). The major constituents in the EOs of leaves of O. gratissimum were elemicin (33.474%) and eugenol (30.258%). Piperitone oxide, piperitone, and germacrene D were identified as major constituents in both the EOs of leaves of S. robusta (28.3%, 15.14%, and 9.42% respectively) and flowers (45.6%, 11.55%, and 3.94% respectively). The oils displayed selective antibacterial potential, with the recorded minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) values ranging from 0.0156 to 1% (v/v). EOs of P. epilithicus as well as that of the leaves and flowers of S. robusta acted against all studied bacteria. Most of the MIC values were below 0.25% (v/v), indicating a strong inhibitory potential of studied EOs. The present study provides a strong baseline for consideration of the EOs from O. gratissimum, S. robusta, and P. epilithicus in the control of bacterial foodborne infections.
