“…sinusitis, headache, inflammation of the respiratory tract, cough, flatulence, chest fullness, body and underarm odor, vaginal discharge, and nausea [9]. M. alba's utilization in traditional medicine is associated with its bioactivity and the content of secondary metabolites, particularly essential oils [10]. Essential oils are generated by all parts of M. alba, albeit with variations in types and concentrations.…”

Michelia alba is a multifunctional plant found in Indonesia and is also called magnolia. Michelia alba is a tree known for its essential oil, which has long been used as a fragrance ingredient in perfumes and cosmetics. The potential of M. alba is immense for use in the prevention and treatment of disease as well as the management of human health and wellness. To date, there have been few publications regarding the biological activities of M. alba, focusing on tyrosinase inhibitory, antibacterial, antidiabetic, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities. However, M. alba may have additional undiscovered biological activities associated with its bioactive compounds. The purpose of this literature review research is to find out the bioactive compounds and therapeutic potential of the M. alba plant through literature searches that can be a reference for further research. The literature review method is carried out by searching and collecting data from literature sources obtained from several national and international journals that review bioactive compounds and the therapeutic potential of M. alba plants. Based on the literature review, it was found that M. alba has bioactive compounds namely linalool (72.8 flower oil and 80.1% leaf oil), α-terpineol (6.04% flower oil), phenylethyl alcohol (2.58% flower oil), β-pinene (2.39% flower oil) and geraniol (1, 23%) which have therapeutic activities such as mental health disorders, anticancer, anti-inflammatory, antihypertensive, antidiabetic, antihyperlipidemia, antimaagic, antidiarrheal, anti-asthma, and antihyperpigmentation. In traditional medicine it is used to treat fever, syphilis, gonorrhea and malaria, bronchitis, prostatitis, cancer, headache, sinusitis, cough, inflammation of the respiratory tract, chest fullness, flatulence, nausea, body and underarm odor, and vaginal discharge.

The leaves of Magnoliaceae family plants contain abundant essential oils (EOs), and these species can be used in many fields due to their high industrial, medicinal, and ornamental values. This study aims to identify the main compounds of the EOs from the leaves of five common Magnoliaceae species (Michelia maudiae, Michelia hedyosperma, Michelia macclurei, Manglietia lucida, Manglietia conifer) using hydrodistillation, GC–MS analysis, and in vitro tests. Additionally, the antioxidant and antibacterial activities of the EOs were also evaluated. The results show that 151 compounds were identified across five species, with sesquiterpenes being dominant. Some key compounds (such as β-caryophyllene, δ-amorphene, β-guaiene, globulol, and β-acorenol) were common among all the species, highlighting their crucial roles in plant physiology and resilience. Other compounds (like valeranone and nerolidol in M. maudiae and β-elemene in M. macclurei) were specific, indicating different functions. Among the five species, the essential oil of M. macclurei contains β-elemene and nerolidyl acetate, and it has the weakest antioxidant activity (IC50 value: 2918.61~21,341.98 μg/mL) but the strongest antibacterial activity (inhibition zone diameter: 8.55 ± 0.93~22.92 ± 0.46 mm; LC50 value: 0.02~0.78 mg/mL). Meanwhile, the EO of M. maudiae demonstrated the best antioxidant activity (the IC50 value was 1283.58~6258.32 μg/mL) and the second-best antibacterial activity (the inhibition zone diameter ranged from 7.61 ± 0.02 to 26.92 ± 0.46 mm, and the LC50 value was 0.03~2.28 mg/mL). Overall, the EO of M. maudiae had the best comprehensive performance. Therefore, the EOs of M. macclurei and M. maudiae showed different performances in biological activity categories, and they could be developed and used in different fields, with the possibility of discovering new applications. This brings inspiration to the potential commercial and industrial uses of sesquiterpenes in Magnoliaceae.
