Litsea cubeba leaf essential oil from Vietnam: chemical diversity and its impacts on antibacterial activity

Abstract: This study aimed to characterize the chemical diversity of Litsea cubeba leaf essential oil (EO) and its impacts on its antibacterial activity. Two major chemotypes (1,8-cineole or linalool rich) were identified in North Vietnam and both were bactericidal against several pathogenic bacteria. A distinct inhibitory effect of EO samples on Escherichia coli was observed. 1,8-cineole-rich sample (LC19) affected cell membrane, led to cell filamentation and perturbation of cell width, while the linalool-rich one (BV2… Show more

“…Here, we examined the antimicrobial activity of the total EO constituents to explore potential synergistic effects. Nevertheless, in concordance with a previous study [9,19], the L. cubeba EO showed low MICs (≥ 700 µg/mL) against the tested microbes (Table 3) [17].…”

“…This combination showed broad-spectrum inhibitory effects against various microbial species tested. In fact, citral, carveol, and limonene are phenolic substances with polarity characteristics that might act on the bacterial cell membrane, inactivate cell adhesions, and/or interact with the outer and inner membrane proteins [19,29,33,34]. Consequently, the EO treatment might result in the weakening of cell structure and inhibition of cell growth by creating holes on the cell wall and increasing the cell permeability [29].…”

“…The second investigated species from the Lauraceae family ( Litsea cubeba Li.cu EO) showed geranial (36.4 %), neral (32.5 %) and limonene (16.3 %) as the main compounds. Our results were different from the same species collected in Vietnam where 1,8‐cineole and sabinene were presented in the highest percentage …”
