“…Ruta samples collected even in a single country, but from different locations, showed noticeable differences in yields and composition of the essential oils. For example, the essential oils of Ruta samples collected from different locations in Tunisia demonstrated considerable differences both in % yield and chemical composition [ 9 , 36 , 37 , 38 , 39 , 40 , 61 , 62 ] ( Table 1 ), and a similar observation could be made for the R. montana samples collected from various sparts of Algeria [ 67 ]. Considerable variations in the essential oil yields (%) and chemical profiles have also been observed between cultivated and wild-growing plant materials from Ruta species [ 44 ].…”

“…From the studies on the composition of the essential oils of Ruta species, it appears that these essential oils, unlike many other plant essential oils, generally lack terpene components, but predominantly possess aliphatic ketones and some minor aliphatic alcohols. Based on the studies conducted on the dried or fresh plant materials of Ruta species ( Table 1 ) [ 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 , 21 , 22 , 23 , 24 , 25 , 26 , 27 , 28 , 29 , 30 , 31 , 32 , 33 , 34 , 35 , 36 , 37 , 38 , 39 , 40 , 41 , 42 , 43 , 44 , 45 , 46 , 47 , 48 , 49 , 50 , 51 , 52 , 53 , 54 , 55 , 56 , 57 ,…”

“…Even free-living protozoa, when they enter the cells or tissues of living beings, become parasitic. Antiprotozoal activity of chalepensin (Figure 5), a 3-prenylated furanocoumarin, isolated from the methanolic extract of the aerial parts of R. chalepensis, but also present in small amounts in some of its essential oils [36] (Table 1), was established against the parasite Entamoeba histolytica, which is the major cause of amoebiasis in humans [100]; 84.66% growth inhibition was observed against E. histolytica at a concentration of 150 µg/mL of chalepensin. Leishmaniasis is a vector-borne parasitic disease caused by the obligate intracellular protozoic parasites of the genus Leishmania, which mainly affects people living in the tropics, subtropics, and southern Europe.…”

Ruta Essential Oils: Composition and Bioactivities

Ruta L. is a typical genus of the citrus family, Rutaceae Juss. and comprises ca. 40 different species, mainly distributed in the Mediterranean region. Ruta species have long been used in traditional medicines as an abortifacient and emmenagogue and for the treatment of lung diseases and microbial infections. The genus Ruta is rich in essential oils, which predominantly contain aliphatic ketones, e.g., 2-undecanone and 2-nonanone, but lack any significant amounts of terpenes. Three Ruta species, Ruta chalepensis L., Ruta graveolens L., and Ruta montana L., have been extensively studied for the composition of their essential oils and several bioactivities, revealing their potential medicinal and agrochemical applications. This review provides a systematic evaluation and critical appraisal of publications available in the literature on the composition and bioactivities of the essential oils obtained from Ruta species and includes a brief outlook of the potential applications of nanotechnology and chitosan-based products of Ruta essential oils.

“…The methanol and petroleum ether extracts of R. chalepensis in the current study showed a higher zone of inhibition (21.67 ± 0.5) at 100 mg/mL concentration, which is contrary to the report of Seid and Ayisha 51 that states the leaf extract of R. chalepensis showed the least zone of inhibition (2.49 mm). This is because a higher amount of secondary metabolites is found in the fruit than in the leaf of the indicated plant Krayni et al; 52 in this study, the fruit part was used but in the previous study it was the leaf.…”

Background: Although traditional healers in Ethiopia have a long history of using medicinal plants to treat diseases in animals and humans, studies on the antibacterial activities and potential bioactive ingredients of most medicinal plants have been insufficient. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the in-vitro antibacterial activities and to screen phytochemical constituents of selected medicinal plants against reference bacterial strains. Methods: The fresh and healthy roots of Echinops amplexicaulis, fruits of Ruta chalepensis, and leaves of Salix subserrata were collected from West Shewa Zone, Ethiopia. Agar well diffusion and agar dilution methods were used to evaluate antibacterial activities and minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC). All the crude plant extracts were tested against Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pneumoniae, Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa at concentrations of 100, 50, and 25 mg/mL in each triplet (3x). MIC of crude extracts ranging from 1.5625 to 12.50 mg/mL was applied to all bacterial strains. The positive control was ciprofloxacin disk (5 μg) and the negative control was 5% dimethyl sulfoxide. The presence of secondary metabolites of each crude extract was screened. The group means comparisons were done using one-way ANOVA and results were presented as mean ± standard deviation. Results: Although all selected plant extracts had shown antibacterial activities, methanol extracts had a greater zone of inhibition against all reference bacterial strains when compared to petroleum ether extracts. The growth of P. aeruginosa was inhibited at a minimum concentration of both methanol and petroleum extracts (1.5625 mg/mL) when compared to the remaining bacterial strains. Phytochemical screening showed that saponins and alkaloids were found in all crude plant extracts, while phytosterol was meager. Conclusion:This study revealed that all tested plants had significant secondary metabolites and antibacterial activities against reference bacterial strains.
