“…Table 3 provides all studies that examined the antifungal potential of M. spicata extracts, showing the type of extract, plant part used, used method, tested strains, and key results. Using the disc diffusion method, Alaklabi et al [ 62 ] assessed the antifungal activity of hexane, chloroform, ethyl acetate, methanol, ethanol, toluene, n-butanol, n-propanol, isopropanol, and water extracts from the root of M. spicata against Aspergillus niger, Candida albicans, Cryptococcus neoformans , and Microsporum audouinii . Water extract showed the highest activity against M. audouinii (MIC: 16 μ g/mL).…”

“…Moreover, C. albicans was significantly inhibited by toluene and n-butanol extracts (MIC = 64 μ g/mL), whereas the fungal activity of A. niger was highly reduced by using methanol and ethanol extracts (MIC = 64 μ g/mL). Using the same method to screen the antifungal activity of M. spicata root extracts, isopropanol extract was found to be less active for the four fungal strains evaluated [ 62 ].…”

Mentha spicata, also called Mentha viridis, is a medicinal plant of the Lamiaceae family characterized by its potency to synthesize and secret secondary metabolites, essentially essential oils. Different populations use the aerial parts of this plant for tea preparation, and this tisane has shown several effects, according to ethnopharmacological surveys carried out in different areas around the world. These effects are attributed to different compounds of M. spicata, in which their biological effects were recently proved experimentally. Pharmacological properties of M. spicata extracts and essential oils were investigated for different health benefits such as antioxidant, anticancer, antiparasitic, antimicrobial, and antidiabetic effects. In vitro and in vivo studies showed positives effects that could be certainly related to different bioactive compounds identified in M. spicata. Indeed, volatile compounds seem to be efficient in inhibiting different microbial agents such as bacteria, fungi, and parasites through several mechanisms. Moreover, M. spicata exhibited, according to some studies, promising antioxidant, antidiabetic, anti-inflammatory, and anticancer effects, which show its potential to be used as a source for identifying natural drugs against cellular oxidative stress and its related diseases. Importantly, toxicological investigations of M. spicata show the safety of this species at different doses and several periods of use which justify its use in traditional medicines as tisane with tea. Here, we report, explore, and highlight the data published on M. spicata concerning its botanical description and geographical distribution, its phytochemical compounds, its pharmacological properties, and its toxicological investigations of M. spicata.

“…They found similar results to our found, as the dose increase, the antifidant index increased. Alaklabi et al [17] investigated the antifungal, nematicidal, larvicidal and antifeedant properties of the Mentha spicata root extracts. They used to determine the antifungal properties, four differentiated fungi species (Spergillus niger, Candida albicans, Cryptococcus neoformans and Microsporum audouinii), the root ur nematode (Meloidogyne javanica) to determine the nematicidal effect, Oreochromis mossambicus to determine the antifeedant effect and the home mosquito (Culex quinquefasciatus) to determine the larvicidal effect.…”

Antifeedant activity of essential oils obtained from Mentha longifolia subsp. longifolia L. HUDSON (Lamiaceae) against S. vigintiquatuorpunctata (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) adults that are collected from Ordu were tested in Turkey. In general, protection of plants against pests is performed using chemical insecticides, However the use of chemical insecticides on control of the insects creates serious risks on the ecosystem. Lately, scientists are focused on studies about using essential oils obtained from plants (phytochemicals) as alternatives to chemicals insecticides for pest control. Similarly essential oils obtained from M. longifolia subsp. longifolia L. was prepared in 5 different doses (312.5, 625, 1250, 2500 and 5000 ppm). As a result, essential oils obtained from M. longifolia subsp. longifolia L. were seen to have strong antifeedant effects. It were determined positive correlation (r = 0.733, P < 0.005) between increasing concentrations of the essential oils obtained from Mentha longifolia L. and AFI indices. The AFI value reached a maximum at 5000 ppm. The AFI value for 5000 ppm is 71.88 ± 6.4. Additionally, chemical composition of essential oil of M. longifolia subsp. longifolia leaves were determined by GC-MS analysis. The main component of essential oil of M. longifolia subsp. longifolia was 2-Cyclohexen-1-one (39.58) and second one was p-Menthone (16.97%).

“…Fingerlings (1.5-2.0 cm) of Oreochromis mossambicus were used as a bio-model as it has been used for many toxicological studies of plant extracts. 21,22 Five fingerlings were introduced in each experimental and control glass bowls containing 200 mL water dissolved with chosen concentration (20-160 μg/mL) of the oil. Immediate reflex changes and mortality were observed continuously for 6 hours and at 1-hour intervals for the next 12 hours.…”

Background: Mortality and morbidity associated with vector-borne diseases, particularly those caused by mosquitoes, are increasing and new means of controlling them, including bio-larvicides, are needed. Malaria is a serious threat in many countries of Africa and Asia, and eco-friendly vector preventing measures are very much essential. Plant-derived larvicides are of great importance in this context. Hyptis capitata is an aromatic medicinal plant which is widely distributed in tropical countries. The aim of the present study is to examine the chemical composition, antioxidant and mosquito larvicidal effects of essential oils of this plant, extracted by hydrodistillation. Methods: Chemical compositions of essential oils were analyzed using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Antioxidant activity was tested by the 2,2-diphenyl-1-(2,4,6-trinitrophenyl) hydrazyl (DPPH) assay and the mosquito larvicidal activity was checked against the fourth instar larvae of the malarial vector Anopheles stephensi. Fingerlings of Oreochromis mossambicus were used as a bio-model for toxicity studies. Results: A total of 48 constituents, inclusive of 44 (94.67%) from inflorescence and 19 (97.09%) from leaf oil were identified; δcadinene (14.68%) and linalool (6.99%) were the major constituents of the inflorescence oil, while leaf oil contained 1-octen-3-ol (34.08%), methyl linoleate (17.2%), and germacrene D (11.16%). Antioxidant analysis showed an effective concentration (EC 50 ) value of 22.76 μg/mL for leaf oil and 26.18 μg/mL for the inflorescence oil, corresponding to 17.57 μg/mL of ascorbic acid. Both oils showed a respectable larvicidal effect and the lethal concentrations (LC 50 ) are 39.08 μg/mL and 33.19 μg/mL for the inflorescence and leaf oil, respectively. Notably, both the inflorescence and leaf oils are not very toxic to fish with respect to the concentrations tested. Conclusion:This study showed that the essential oils extracted from the leaves and inflorescences of H. capitata are effective antioxidants and can act as inexpensive mosquito larvicidal agents.
