Chemical composition, antimicrobial, antioxidant, and cytotoxic properties of essential oil from Actinidiatg arguta (AEO) were evaluated. Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry analysis identified 56 chemical compounds, with the most abundant being Squalene (23.08%), γ-sitrostorol (8.10%), and β-Tocopherol (7.01%). Whereas the AEO had significant antimicrobial activity against Staphylococcus aureus and Saccharomyces cerevisiae, it showed mild efficacy against Bacillus subtilis and Microsporum canis . On the contrary, the Gram-negative bacteria, Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, were not susceptible to the AEO pressure. On the other hand, the AEO exhibited strong antioxidant activity against DPPH, β-carotene, and hydroxyl radicals, having an IC 50 values of 117.60, 73.60 and 35.15 μg/mL, respectively. Additionally, compared to the PC-3 or HT-29 cell lines, the A549 cells were more susceptible to the AEO (IC 50 ; 6.067 mg/mL). Besides, the confocal laser scanning microscopy imaging showed that 16 mg/mL of the AEO induced apoptosis in the A549 cell lines. Our data indicate that the AEO might be useful in the food and pharmaceutical industry.
