Star anise (Illicium verum Hook. f.) essential oil: Antioxidant properties and antibacterial activity against Acinetobacter baumannii

Abstract: The increased resistance of pathogenic bacteria to multiple antimicrobial agents is becoming a significant public health threat. For many pathogenic bacteria there are already limited or no effective antimicrobials available to treat the infections caused by them. Acinetobacter baumannii is a Gram‐negative, biofilm‐forming, nonmotile coccobacillus and a major human pathogen causing hospital‐acquired infections, such as ventilator‐associated pneumonia, bacteraemia, meningitis, and urinary tract and wound infect… Show more

“…Among all of them, the anethole compounds are responsible for its characteristic taste. Besides, compounds like α-pinene, β-pinene, myrcene, α-phellandrene limonene, γ-terpineol, linalool, α-terpineol, estragole, trans-anethole, α-cubebene carryophyllene oxide, and α-humulene present in the essential oil of SA are also reported to have contained a number of biological activities (Aly, Sabry, Shaheen, & Hathout, 2016;Luís et al, 2019;Wang, Hu, Huang, & Qin, 2011). In addition, a number of procedures have been established for the extraction of the bioactive compounds from this plant species, and, among which, the hydro-distillation, steam distillation, solvent extraction, supercritical fluid CO 2 extraction, hydro-distillationheadspace solvent microextraction, and microwave-assisted extraction process are the most common ones (Rocha & Candido Tietbohl, 2016).…”

“…The anti-inflammatory activity was determined by evaluating the capacity of the samples to inhibit protein denaturation [17]. Initially, a solution of bovine serum albumin (BSA) (Sigma-Aldrich, USA) at 1% (w/v) in phosphate buffer saline (PBS) solution was prepared.…”

“…Finally, measurements of the absorbances were performed using a spectrophotometer (Helios-Omega, Thermo Scientific, USA) at 620 nm. The percentage of inhibition of protein denaturation (%Inhibition) was determined applying the following equation, %Inhibition = 100 − [(Abs sample × 100)/Abs control ], where Abs control corresponds to the absorbance of the control and Abs sample is the absorbance of each sample [17]. The results were expressed as %Inhibition/100 g sample (honey, propolis, and mixtures of honey with propolis).…”

“…Finally, measurements of the absorbances were performed using a microplate reader (BIO-RAD, Hercules, CA, USA) at 620 nm. The percentage of inhibition of protein denaturation was calculated using the following equation: %I = 100 − [(Abs sample × 100)/Abs control ), where Abs control is the absorbance of the control and Abs sample is the absorbance of each sample [45].…”
