“…The results showed that antibacterial activity of EOL and tea tree oil was much higher than that of other essential oils. A large number of studies have shown that tea tree oil has antibacterial activity (Pérez‐Rosés, Risco, Vila, Peñalver, & Cañigueral, ), but little is known on the antibacterial activity of EOL.…”

The purpose of this study was to investigate antibacterial activity of essential oil from Cinnamomum camphora var. linaloofera Fujita (EOL) at vapor phase and its mechanism of bactericidal action against Escherichia coli . Results showed that the vapor‐phase EOL had significant antibacterial activity with a minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) of 200 μl/L. Further analyses showed that treatment of E. coli with vapor‐phase EOL resulted in partial degradation of cell membrane, increased membrane permeability, leakage of cytoplasm materials, and prominent distortion and shrinkage of bacterial cells. FTIR showed that EOL altered bacterial protein secondary and tertiary structures. GC/MS analysis showed that the components of vapor‐phase EOL included linalool (69.94%), camphor (10.90%), nerolidol (10.92%), and safrole (8.24%), of which linalool had bactericidal activity. Quantum chemical analysis suggested that the antibacterial reactive center of linalool was oxygen atom (O 10 ) which transferred electrons during antibacterial action by the donation of electrons.

“…11,32–34 Furthermore, essential oils from various plants, including Artemisia spp., have been reported to exhibit various biological effects in vitro and in vivo . 2,35 In the present study, we defined the chemical profile of essential oils isolated from A. kotuchovii and evaluated their effects on phagocyte function.…”

“…1 For example, pharmacological evaluation of tarragon extracts demonstrated anti-inflammatory activity. 1,10 Although tarragon essential oil was inactive in modulating human neutrophil phagocytosis, 11 essential oils from other Artemisia spp. exhibited some immunomodulatory properties, such as inhibition of nuclear factor (NF)-κB transcriptional activity and stimulation of nitric oxide and prostaglandin E 2 production by macrophages.…”

Essential oils were obtained by hydrodistillation of the flowers+leaves and stems of Artemisia kotuchovii Kupr. (AKEOf+l and AKEOstm, respectively) and analyzed by gas chromatography (GC) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC/MS). The primary components of the oils were estragole, (E)- and (Z)-β-ocimenes, methyl eugenol, limonene, spathulenol, β-pinene, myrcene, and (E)-methyl cinnamate. Seventy four constituents were present at concentrations from 0.1 to 1.0%, and 34 compounds were identified in trace (<0.1%) amounts in one or both plant components. Screening of the essential oils for biological activity showed that AKEOstm, but not AKEOf+l, inhibited N-formyl-Met-Leu-Phe (fMLF)-stimulated Ca2+ flux and chemotaxis and phorbol-12-myristate-13-acetate (PMA)-induced reactive oxygen species (ROS) production in human neutrophils. Selected pure constituents, representing >96% of the AKEOstm composition, were also tested in human neutrophils and HL-60 cells transfected with N-formyl peptide receptor 1 (FPR1). We found that one component, 6-methyl-3,5-heptadien-2-one (MHDO), inhibited fMLF- and interleukin 8 (IL-8)-stimulated Ca2+ flux, fMLF-induced chemotaxis, and PMA-induced ROS production in human neutrophils. MHDO also inhibited fMLF-induced Ca2+ flux in FPR1-HL60 cells. These results suggest that MHDO may be effective in modulating some innate immune responses, possibly by an inhibition of neutrophil migration and ROS production.

“…Other health benefits of thymol are shown in Table 5, including anticarcinogenesis (Deb et al, 2011;Nikolić et al, 2014) and analgesic activities in vitro (Wagner & Wierer, 1986), as well as the modulation of the immune system in vitro and in vivo (Al-Kassie, 2009;Pérez-Rosés et al, 2015) by several mechanisms. Moreover, several researchers have revealed that thymol (alone or in combination with other herbal constituents) may improve animal (e.g., chickens) growth and performance in vivo together with other benefits (Al-Kassie, 2009; Hashemipour et al, 2013), but it seems to depend on the experimental conditions tested (Haselmeyer et al, 2015; Table 6).…”

Thymol is a naturally occurring phenol monoterpene derivative of cymene and isomer of carvacrol. Thymol (10-64%) is one of the major constituent of essential oils of thyme (Thymus vulgaris L., Lamiaceae), a medicinal plant with several therapeutic properties. This plant, native to Mediterranean regions, is commonly used as a culinary herb and also with a long history of use for different medicinal purposes. Nowadays, thymol and thyme present a wide range of functional possibilities in pharmacy, food, and cosmetic industry. The interest in the formulation of pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, and cosmeceuticals based on thymol is due to several studies that have evaluated the potential therapeutic uses of this compound for the treatment of disorders affecting the respiratory, nervous, and cardiovascular systems. Moreover, this compound also exhibits antimicrobial, antioxidant, anticarcinogenesis, anti-inflammatory, and antispasmodic activities, as well as a potential as a growth enhancer and immunomodulator. In the present review, these bioactivities have been covered because some of them can contribute to explain the ethnopharmacology of thymol and its main source, T. vulgaris. Other important aspects about thymol are discussed: its toxicity and bioavailability, metabolism, and distribution in animals and humans.
