Highlights• Antibacterial and antioxidant activities of 8 aromatic plants from the Balkan Peninsula were studied.• Minimal inhibitory concentration metanoic extracts ranged 6.3 to 100 mg mL-1.• bactericidal 12.5 Polyphenol content in methanol correlated with their properties.• Sequence activity was: A crithmifolia > grandifolia H officinalis absinthium T parthenium.
Abstract Essential oil of Satureja hortensis L. was analyzed by GC and GC/MS tested a broth micro-well dilution method for activity against multiresistant clinical isolates pathogenic bacteria from 10 different genera: Klebsiella, Escherichia, Proteus, Staphylococcus, Streptococcus, Pseudomonas, Enterococcus, Enterobacter, Citrobacter Acinetobacter. The main compounds in the were carvacrol (67%), γ-terpinene (15.3%) p-cymene (6.73%). showed all strains. MIC/MBC values range 0.78-25 μl/ml,...
In this paper, the chemical composition and biological activity of essential oil <i>Artemisia absinthium</i> was studied. The aim study to investigate potential ethnopharmacological uses plant species in treatment gastrointestinal diseases wounds, as an insect repellent. aerial part hydrodistilled, analyzed by gas chromatography chromatography/mass spectrometry. Forty-seven compounds, corresponding 94.65 % total oil, were identified, with main constituents being sabinene (24.49 %), sabinyl...
A hydro-distilled oil of Satureja hortensis L. was investigated for its antimicrobial activity against a panel 11 bacterial and three fungal strains. The determined using the disk-diffusion broth microdilution methods. essential S. showed significant wide spectrum Gram (-) bacteria (MIC/MBC=0.025-0.78/0.05-0.78 ?l/ml) (+) (MIC/MBC=0.05-0.39/0.05-0.78 ?l/ml), as well strains (MIC/MBC=0.20/0.78 ?l/ml). results indicate that this can be used in food conservation, treatment different diseases...
Chemical compositions of needle essential oils 27 taxa from the section Pinus, including 20 and 7 subsections Pinus Pinaster, respectively, were compared in order to determine chemotaxonomic significance terpenes at infrageneric level. According analysis variance, six out 31 studied terpene characters characterized by a high level significance, indicating statistically significant difference between examined subsections. Agglomerative hierarchical cluster has shown separation eight groups,...
The flora of rock outcrops in the Stara Planina Mountains (Serbia) was analyzed to assess its diversity, as well biological and chorological spectra. A total 125 vascular plant species, representing 75 genera 35 families, were identified. dominant families Poaceae, Caryophyllaceae, Asteraceae, while Asplenium Sedum most species-rich genera. Hemicryptophytes (48.8%) chamaephytes (31.2%) predominant life forms, well-adapted harsh rocky environments. dominance taxa from Eurasian Mountain (32%)...
BACKGROUND: Allium sphaerocephalon is a wild-growing plant commonly used as an onion substitute. In this study the essential oil obtained from A. subsp. inflorescences was analysed by gas chromatography and chromatography/mass spectrometry also evaluated for in vitro antioxidant antimicrobial activities. The results are reported first time discussed with respect to sulfur compounds detected oil. RESULTS: Ninty-one were identified, representing 91.6% (w/w) of total Major constituents sample...
Abstract The present study investigates the chemical compositions of three Satureja montana L. ssp essential oils and correlates variability with biological activities. GC/MS analysis showed that an increase in altitude (100–500–800 m), a higher content linalool, terpinen-4-ol cis-sabinene hydrate was found, while percentage phenolic compounds, thymol carvacrol decreased. Antimicrobial activity tested against 7 fungal 23 bacterial strains. oil characterized by highest phenols alcohols...
This study focused on the essential oils (EOs) isolated from needles with twigs of three indigenous Balkan Abies species (A. alba, A. × borisii-regis and cephalonica) regarding their chemical composition, antimicrobial activity toxicity toward crustaceans insects. Even though distinct phytochemical profiles dominant volatiles were revealed for each species, β-pinene α-pinene represented first two major in all EOs. Antimicrobial EOs has shown inhibitory effect against 17 studied strains (ATCC...
The present study reports the chemical composition of headspace volatiles (HS) and essential oils obtained from fresh Chaerophyllum aromaticum root aerial parts in full vegetative phase, as well biological activities their MeOH extracts. In HS samples, most dominant components were monoterpene hydrocarbons. On other hand, consisted mainly sesquiterpenoids, representing 73.4% 63.4% oil. results antibacterial assay showed that oil extract have no activity, while some activity. Both tested...
The present review describes and discusses the chemistry chemotaxonomic implications, as well hypothetical biogenetic considerations, of essential oils isolated from 23 taxa Balkan Achillea using multivariate statistical analysis.
ABSTRACTA hydrodistilled oil of Satureja hortensis L. was investigated for its antimicrobial activity against a panel 11 bacterial and three fungal strains. The determined using disk-diffusion method broth microdilution method. Essential S. showed significant wide spectrum Gram (-) bacteria (MIC/MBC=0.025–0.78/0.05–0.78 μl/ml) (+) (MIC/MBC=0.05–0.39/0.05–0.78 μl/ml), as well strains (MIC/MBC=0.20/0.78 μl/ml). Therefore, the present results indicate that this can be used in food conservation,...
Tansy, Tanacetum macrophyllum (Waldst. & Kit.) Sch. Bip., is often misidentified by herb collectors as yarrow, Achillea grandifolia Friv. With the former, cases of poisoning induced its ingestion are well documented, but latter widely used for ethnopharmacological purposes. The aim this study was to estimate, based on volatile metabolite profiles two species, potential health risk connected with their misidentification. GC and GC-MS analysis essential oils hydrodistilled using a...
Abstract Characterization by GC‐FID and GC/MS analyses of the Stachys officinalis (L.) Trevis . essential oil obtained hydrodistillation aerial parts allowed identification 190 components that represented 97.9% total content. The main constituents identified were germacrene D (19.9%), β ‐caryophyllene (14.1%), α ‐humulene (7.5%). Terpenoids far predominant (89.4%), with sesquiterpene hydrocarbons (69.1%) oxygenated sesquiterpenes (14.8%) being most abundant compounds detected in oil. Based...
The present paper investigated the quantities of total polyphenols, tannins, flavonoids, hydroxycinnamic derivatives, rosmarinic acid and thujone, as well antioxidant antimicrobial activities in 12 Salvia verbenaca L. extracts. sample, prepared with 80% methanol using ultrasound extraction (UE) contained highest levels polyphenols (236.44 ± 12.80 mg catechin equivalents (CE)/g, 190.27 9.89 gallic equivalent (GAE)/g), tannins (187.81 12.93 CE/g, 148.95 10.00 GAE/g) derivatives (13.52 0.24%),...
