“…Furthermore, the antioxidant potential of the oil is higher than observed for the essential oil of other vegetable species, which was believed to be directly proportional to the higher CT concentration. The mechanism whereby CT protects the cellular lipid and protein structures from oxidative action of ROS occurs through abstraction of one hydrogen atom or addiction of radical OH to the double carbon-carbon bond of CT (Harrison et al, 2007), thus preventing lipoperoxidation and protein oxidation (Lertsatitthanakorn et al, 2006). The results of the present study support the hypothesis that CT possesses antiinfl ammatory and redox protective activities.…”

The anti-infl ammatory and redox protective effects of the citronellal (CT) were evaluated using in vivo and in vitro tests. Intraperitoneal (i.p.) administration of CT (50, 100, and 200 mg/kg) inhibited (p < 0.05) the carrageenan-induced leukocyte migration to the peritoneal cavity. Additionally, the carrageenan-and arachidonic acid-induced rat hind paw edema was signifi cantly inhibited (p < 0.05) by i.p. administration of 100 and 200 mg/kg of the compound. When the redox activity was evaluated, CT (200 mg/kg) signifi cantly reduced hepatic lipoperoxidation (p < 0.001), as well as oxidation of plasmatic (p < 0.05) and hepatic (p < 0.01) proteins. The results of the present study support the hypothesis that CT possesses anti-infl ammatory and redox protective activities. It is suggested that its effects are associated with the inhibition of the enzymes in the arachidonic acid pathway, which prevent cell migration by inhibiting leukotriene production, edema formation and the increase of reactive oxygen species in tissues. Therefore, CT is of potential benefi t to manage infl ammatory disorders and correlated damages caused by oxidant agents.

“…Several compounds that we found to be present in L. stoechas EOs are known to possess antioxidant activities. These include eugenol, carvacrol, thymol, terpinolene, aterpinene, g-terpinene [30], and terpinen-4-ol [31]. To determine whether some EO components play an important role in the antioxidant activity of Algerian L. stoechas EO, we calculated the Pearsons correlation coefficient between the contents of the 93 most abundant EO components and the DPPH-and b-carotene/linoleic acid-based antioxidant activities of the eleven oils.…”

In an effort to develop local productions of aromatic and medicinal plants, a comprehensive assessment of the composition and biological activities of the essential oils (EOs) extracted from the aerial flowering parts of wild growing Lavandula stoechas L. collected from eleven different locations in northern Algeria was performed. The oils were characterized by GC-FID and GC/MS analyses, and 121 compounds were identified, accounting for 69.88-91.2% of the total oil compositions. The eleven oils greatly differed in their compositions, since only 66 compounds were common to all oils. Major EO components were fenchone (2; 11.27-37.48%), camphor (3, 1.94-21.8%), 1,8-cineole (1; 0.16-8.71%), and viridiflorol (10; 2.89-7.38%). The assessed in vitro biological properties demonstrated that the DPPH-based radical-scavenging activities and the inhibition of the β-carotene/linoleic acid-based lipid oxidation differed by an eight-fold factor between the most and the least active oils and were linked to different sets of molecules in the different EOs. The eleven EOs exhibited good antimicrobial activities against most of the 16 tested strains of bacteria, filamentous fungi, and yeasts, with minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) ranging from 0.16 to 11.90 mg/ml.

“…Oils extracted from the rind are used in cosmetics and beauty products [7]. Previous studies on the kaffir lime oil reported antioxidant [8], repellent [9], and antiviral [10] activities. The present study examined the chemical composition and antimicrobial activity of the essential oils from the leaves of C. macroptera and C. hystrix growing in New Caledonia.…”

The essential oils from the leaves of Citrus macroptera and C. hystrix, collected in New Caledonia, have been analyzed by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) and evaluated for their antimicrobial activity. A total of 35 and 38 constituents were identified, representing 99.1 and 89.0% of the essential oils, respectively. Both essential oils were rich in monoterpenes (96.1 and 87.0%, resp.), with beta-pinene as major component (33.3 and 10.9%, resp.), and poor in limonene (2.4 and 4.7%, resp.). Other main components of C. macroptera oil were alpha-pinene (25.3%), p-cimene (17.6%), (E)-beta-ocimene (6.7%), and sabinene (4.8%). The essential oil of C. hystrix was characterized by high contents of terpinen-4-ol (13.0%), alpha-terpineol (7.6%), 1,8-cineole (6.4%), and citronellol (6.0%). The antimicrobial activity was evaluated against five bacteria and five fungi strains. Both oils were inactive against bacteria. However, the C. macroptera leaf oil exhibited a pronounced activity against Trichophyton mentagrophytes var. interdigitale, with a minimal-inhibitory concentration (MIC) of 12.5 microg/ml.
