Phytochemical and Biological Studies of Some Myrtus (Myrtus communis L.) Populations of South West Region of Zagros (Iran)

Abstract: Myrtus communis L. is one member of the Myrtaceae family. It is one of the important medicinal plants in the Zagros region of Iran. The Essential oils include a large percentage of compounds called terpenes. In this study, the chemical composition of essential oils of Myrtus (Myrtus communis L.) was identified by the GC-MS method. Results showed that essential oils of populations from different regions have a series of similar compounds, but different in quality and quantity. In fact, they have several organic… Show more

“…M. communis essential oils exhibited exceptional antimicrobial activities against Staphylococcus aureus , Escherichia coli , and Candida albicans. M. communis oils exposure showed the D-values (decimal reduction value) of (12.8, 2.8, and 8.6 min) S. aureus , E. coli , and C. albicans , respectively (Yadegarinia et al 2006 ; Beni et al 2017 ).…”

“…Plant-based antimicrobial compounds have countless potentials in the treatment of infectious diseases, and sometimes their concomitant use with antibiotics has reduced the side effects of antibiotics [ 8 ]. The plant with the scientific name Myrtus communis (in Persian: Myrtus) from the Myrtaceae family is an evergreen plant that has bitter leaves with antibacterial, antioxidant, and antifungal medicinal properties [ 9 , 10 ]. Some of its main active ingredients are quinoa, alpha-pinene, terpinol, and limonene, which are related to the antimicrobial properties of the plant.…”
