GC-MS of whole diethyl ether extract (EE) from aerial parts allowed to identify 14 volatile terpenoids such as sesquiterpenes: α-bisabolol (3.4 %), polygodial and isotadeonal (34.0%); various methylated phenol like α-tocopherol or vitamin E (3.6 %), and phytosterols: stigmasterol (2.1%) and β-sitosterol (29.9 %). Thus, water pepper is a promising source of drimane sesquiterpenes and phytoestrogens with important bioactivities. Following a taste- guided fractionation by CC and HPLC, drimane-type sesquiterpenes, polygodial (1) and its stereoisomer isotadeonal (2) were isolated as main compounds from the EE. The antipathogenic effects on the bacterial growth, biofilm formation, and elastase activity of both pure compounds and EE were evaluated against two S...

El presente estudio se centró en la determinación de las capacidades antibiofilm de extractos de orujo procedentes de diferentes varietales de diferentes polaridades, procedentes de Cafayate, Argentina, frente a dos cepas de S. aureus. Se utilizaron orujos de tres varietales regionales (Bonarda, Tannat y Malbec) para inhibir la formación de biofilm (BF) o tratar una biopelícula formada. Se realizaron extracciones con solventes de polaridad creciente (cloroformo, acetato de etilo y etanol) y se enfrentaron 10 y 100 µg/mL de extractos a las cepas de S. aureus ATCC 6538 y LVP63. Los extractos acetato de etilo y etanólicos de orujo del varietal Tannat fueron los más efectivos para disminuir la formación de BF en S. aureus sin afectar el crecimiento planctónico.

Osbeck) essential oils obtained using the cold-press method (EOP) and the cold-press method followed by steam distillation (EOPD). The chemical compositions of the volatilizable fractions, determined by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, were similar in both samples. A relatively large amount of γ-terpinene was found in the EOPD (1.75%) as compared to the EOP (0.84%). Monoterpene hydrocarbons with limonene (90.4–89.8%) followed by myrcene (3.2–3.1%) as the main compounds comprised the principal phytochemical group. The non-volatile phenolics were eight times higher in the EOP than in the EOPD. Several assays with different specificity levels were used to study the antioxidant activity. Although both essential oils presented similar reducing capacities, the radical elimination ability was higher for the EOP. Regarding the antipathogenic pro...

The main compound, limonene, was also tested in biological assays. Eighty-four compounds, accounting for a relative peak area of 99.23%, 98.58% and 99.64%, were identified by GC/MS. Limonene (59–60%), γ-terpinene (10–11%) and β-pinene (7–15%) were the main compounds. All lemon oils inhibited specific biofilm production and bacterial metabolic activities into biofilm in a dose-dependent manner (20–65%, in the range of 0.1–4 mg mL−1) of both strains. Besides, all samples inhibited about 50% of the elastase activity at 0.1 mg mL−1. Pyocyanin biosynthesis decreases until 64% (0.1–4 mg mL−1) for both strains. Swarming motility of P. aeruginosa ATCC 27853 was completely inhibit...

Research paper thumbnail of Potential use of Citrus essential oils against acute respiratory syndrome caused by coronavirus

Journal of Essential Oil Research, 2021

ABSTRACT The treatments being investigated for the pandemic associated with a severe acute respir... more ABSTRACT The treatments being investigated for the pandemic associated with a severe acute respiratory syndrome caused by the new coronavirus (SARS-CoV2) aim to inhibit viral replication or inhibit enzymatic elastase in the lung, responsible for the SARS-CoV cell entry mechanism and the pathogenesis of severe pneumonia caused by infection. There is also a need to improve alveolar surfactant capacity and inhibition of the exacerbated inflammatory response. Current knowledge allows us to infer that Citrus essential oils could be considered an individual or a complementary highly valuable alternative for the viral infection caused by SARS-CoV due to its antiviral activity, particularly against coronavirus, anti-elastase, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial and antibiofilm properties. Furthermore, its proven capacity of biosurfactants, antioxidants, and pain inhibitors would help to treat acute respiratory syndrome. This review aims to encourage the development of more detailed studies on Citrus essential oils as a new multi-objective strategy to treat SARS-CoV2 infection.

The citrus essential oils have been granted as GRAS and could be used as antimicrobial additives to control bacterial quorum sensing from potential food bacterial pathogens. The chemical composition and inhibitory activity of Citrus paradisi (grapefruit) essential oils obtained by cold-pressed method (EOP) and cold-pressed method followed by steam distillation, against Pseudomonas aeruginosa were determined . The GC-MS analyses of the oil indicated the amount of the essential oil components was highest with D-limonene in both cases. However, the extraction method modified the chemical composition. EOP had higher amount of coumarins and flavonoid as well as less oxygenated terpenoids. At 0.1 mg/mL essential oils were not able to modify the bacterial development but inhibited the P. aeruginosa biofilm production between 52% and 55%, sessile viability between 45% and 48%, autoinducer production and elastase activity be...

Seed flour and PEE obtained from Argentinian P. alba cultivars were chemically characterized. The antioxidant capacity was also determined. The results showed variability in macronutrient composition of seed flour obtained from different clones. Among them, seed flour obtained from P4, P5, P6, P10, P12, and P13 clones showed a higher protein and fiber content than the other clones. On the other hand, PEE obtained from P6, P7, and P10 clones showed the highest content of phenolic component (7.32–8.58 mg GAE/g flour). The extracts obtained from them also showed high antioxidant activity (scavenging activity on ABTS•+, HO•, and H2O2). C-glycosyl flavones, including vicenin II, isoschaftoside, schaftoside, vitexin, and isovitex...

The extraction of secondary metabolites was carried out by using two solvent systems for the biomass (ethyl acetate and methanol), while secondary metabolites present in the supernatant were extracted by using ethyl acetate as extraction solvent. These extracts were evaluated for their inhibitory effect on the growth, biofilm formation, and motility of three Xanthomonas citri subsp. citri strains (Xcc20, Xcc29, and Xcc42). The in vivo effect of these extracts to prevent the development of cankers on grapefruit leaves was also evaluated. M. rileyi biomass ethyl acetate extracts in the presence and absence of its host had a strong inhibitory effect on Xcc strains growth.

In the present study, the antioxidant effect (free radicals scavenging capacity) and anti-inflammatory capacity (inhibitory effect on lipoxygenase enzyme) of regional fruits (Psychotria carthagenensis, Prosopis alba, Prosopis nigra, Ziziphus mistol, Cereus forbesii, Myrcianthes pungens, Morus nigra and Eugenia uniflora), were assayed. The results indicated that all fruits have DPPH radical scavenging activity in the following order: E. uniflora > C. forbesii > M. pungens > P.carthagenensis > Z. mistol >M. nigra > P. nigra > P. alba. The order of anti-inflammatory activity was: E. uniflora > P. carthagenensis > Z. mistol > M. pungens > C. forbesii > M. nigra > P. nigra > P. alba.
