“…The presence of thymol (62) could be responsible for the antibacterial activity. The activity of Z. tenuior essential oil was lower [426]. Similar results have been presented by Salehi et al [21], showing good activity of Z clinopodioides subsp.…”

“…The essential oils obtained from different Kazakh Ziziphora species are generally rich in oxygenated monoterpenes (see Table 3); their antibacterial effect can be attributed to the presence of these compounds; however, this effect is not the consequence of the presence of oxygenated monoterpenes only. Z. clinopodioides essential oils were found to be effective against both Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacterial species [184,426]. The presence of thymol (62) could be responsible for the antibacterial activity.…”

Ziziphora species represent the prototypical example of the Lamiaceae family. The phytochemicals present in Ziziphora include monoterpenic essential oils, triterpenes and phenolic substances belonging to the flavonoids. In Kazakh traditional medicine, Ziziphora species possess several medicinal uses. In particular, Z. bungeana Lam. and Z. clinopodioides Lam. are used for the treatment of illnesses related to the cardiovascular system or to combat different infections. Unfortunately, the majority of the information about the complex Ziziphora species is only available in Russian and Chinese language, therefore, we decided gather all available information on Kazakhstan Ziziphora, namely its content compounds, medicinal uses and published patents, to draw the attention of scientists to this very interesting plant with high medicinal potential.

“…According to the results recorded in Table 1, none of the isolates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa showed microbial sensitivity to any of the tested standard antibiotics and even essential oils of Ziziphora clinopodioides (17). Finally in reports on Ziziphora species and also many similar researches about the medicinal effects of many species of Lamiaceae family such as Ziziphora clinopodioides it has been shown that properties of this plants are associated with their phenolic substances,which can be dependent on the many factors such as geographic situation, weather conditions, season, kind of soil and drying and extracts methods (2,(24)(25)(26).…”

In general, WHO had calculated that 269 thousand people had died in 1999 due to the effect of wars and that loss of 8.44 million healthy years of life had occurred (2,3). Wars negatively affect the provision of health services.…”

Volatile constituent components from aerial parts of Ziziphora capitata L. were successfully separated using headspace solid-phase microextraction (HS-SPME) approach, and were subsequently analyzed by means of GC and GC-MS instruments. The major volatile compounds were found to be pulegone (23.8%), p-mentha-3,8-diene (17.0%), a-pinene (11.4%), b-pinene (11.3%) and p-menth-3-en-8-ol (8.3%) altogether involving more than 70% of the profile accounting for high frequency of monoterpene hydrocarbons. Moreover, the methanolic extracts of Z. capitata were evaluated for possible antioxidant and antibacterial activities. In this regard, antioxidant activity of the extracts was determined by monitoring the scavenging capability of the DPPH free radical. Antibacterial activity was evaluated against some of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria using disc diffusion and broth microdilution methods. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimal bactericidal concentration (MBC) values varied over the ranges 3.12-12.5 mg/ml and 6.25-25 mg/ml, respectively. Our study revealed that methanolic extracts of Z. capitata exhibit strong and promising broad-spectrum activities against all the test isolates. For clinical isolates, the minimal MIC and MBC values were related to B. cereus and L. monocytogenes strains, whereas for the standard strains, both P. aeruginosa and S. aureus showed the lowest MIC and MBC values under the same conditions.
