RESUMEN

Aims:Theaim of this study is to prepare herbal gargle preformulations making use of essential oil of aerial parts of Thymus capitatusgrowing wild in Northern Cyprus and comparing antimicrobial efficacy between these formulationswith pure essential oil.Place and Duration of Study: Department of Pharmaceutical Technology, Faculty of Pharmacy, Near East University, Nicosia, TRNC and Department of Pharmaceutical Microbiology, Faculty of Pharmacy, Ankara University, Ankara, Turkey, between January 2017 and June 2017.Methodology: Preformulations with three different concentrations of Thymus capitatusessential oil were prepared by using simple preparation method.Preformulation studies were done in lab with less than 500ml. There is not specific process parameters. Manufacturing process and process parameters will be clarified with further studies.These compositions and the essential oil were tested in-vitrofor antimicrobial activity studies by using broth microdilution method. Staphylococcus aureusATCC 43300, Staphylococcus aureusATCC 25923, Staphylococcus epidermidisATCC 12228, Bacillus subtilisATCC 6633, Escherichia coliATCC 25922, Enterococcus faecalisATCC 29212, KlebsiellapneumoniaeRSKK 574, Salmonella paratyphiC, Pseudomonas aeruginosaATCC 9027, Pseudomonas aeruginosaATCC 27853 as bacteria and Candida albicansATCC 10231, Candida parapsilosisATCC 22019 as yeasts were used for antimicrobial activity tests. Results: All trialswere found to be more effective than EO, and a significant effect was observed when compared to the values of standard antimicrobial agents.Conclusion:TheThymus capitatusgrowing in Northern Cyprus could be used as a herbal raw material, essential oil source in developing herbal gargle preformulationsto reduce fungal and bacterialinfections in mouth

RESUMEN

Aims: This study was designed to evaluate the antimicrobial activity of five essential oils (EOs) extracted from the aerial parts (leaves and flowering tops) of three species growing in the north of Morocco: Origanum elongatum, Thymus capitatus and Mentha suaveolens. Study Design: Chemical analysis of EOs, antibacterial and antiviral activities of EOs. Place and Duration of Study: Department of Biology (Faculty of Sciences), Institute of Agrochemistry and Food Technology (IATA), between September 2009 and December 2009. Methodology: The EO constituents were extracted by hydrodistillation and analysed by GC-MS. The antibacterial activity of EOs was tested against three reference strains, Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica CECT 915T, Listeria monocytogenes CECT 4031T, and Escherichia coli O157:H7 CECT 4267, and two food isolated strains Salmonella sp. S64 and Listeria monocytogenes L23, using the diffusion method and the microtitration assays. The antiviral effect of EOs was evaluated for the inactivation of murine norovirus (MNV-1), a human norovirus surrogate. Results: GC and GC/MS analyses revealed that thyme EO predominantly contains carvacrol (58.77-68.63%), p-cymene (4.84-5.63%), γ-terpinene (2.78-3.75%) and β- caryophyllene (2.62-2.91%). Oregano EO was mainly constituted by carvacrol (19.21- 40.12%), thymol (3.57-14.24%), p-cymene (16.08-16.19%) and γ-terpinene (7.27- 13.48%). While, mint EO was characterized by piperitenone oxide (41.84%), (-)-isopulegol (11.95%) and limonene (7.35%). All extracts exhibited an antibacterial activity at different levels against strains reported as the causal agents of foodborne diseases, but a low antiviral activity (0.87-0.50 log10 TCID50/ml reduction) was observed. Conclusion: Results suggest the potential use of tested EOs as bio-preservatives in the food industry. However, their antiviral activity needs to be further investigated.

RESUMEN

The paper reports the qualitative and quantitative composition and its antifungal activities of Thymus capitatus (L.) Hoffmanns. & Link, Lamiaceae, essential oils isolated by hydrodistillation from the aerial parts of plants collected in Calabria, Southern Italy. The essential oils of 22 samples were analysed by GC-Flame ionization detection and GC/MS. A total of sixty five compounds were identified. Phenols were present in highest percentage (average: 79,03%). Carvacrol was the main component (81,52%-78,40%) in all samples, confirming that T. capitatus is a carvacrol chemotype, according to literature data for this species. This essential oil was also characterized by high level of biogenetic precursor of the phenols: p-cimene (4,98%), γ-terpinene (3,13%) and by β-cariophyllene, were the most abundant sesquiterpene hydrocarbons. Antifungal activity against Sclerotium cepivorum Berk., a soil born fungus, was tested. At the concentration of 250 ppm there was no development of fungal mycelium. To our knowledge, studies have never been conducted on Calabria wild populations of T. capitatus essential oil nor were conducted studies on parasitic fungi of specific interest for crops such as Sclerotium cepivorum.

RESUMEN

Steam distillation of essential oils of aerial parts of Thymus capitatus and Marrubium vulgare L. collected at North cost of Egypt yielded 0.5% and 0.2%, respectively. Results of Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry analyses of the two samples identified 96.27% and 90.19% of the total oil composition for T. capitatus and M. vulgare, respectively. The two oil samples appeared dominated by the oxygenated constituents (88.22% for T. capitatus and 57.50% for M. vulgare), composed of phenols, mainly carvacrol (32.98%) and thymol (32.82%) in essential oil of T. capitatus, and thymol (34.55%) in essential oil of M. vulgare. It was evaluated the molluscicidal activity of T. capitatus and M. vulgare essential oils on adult and eggs of Biomphalaria alexandrina as well as their mosquitocidal activity on Culex pipiens. The LC50 and LC90 of T. capitatus essential oil against adult snails was 200 and 400 ppm/3hrs, respectively, while for M. vulgare it was 50 and 100 ppm/3hrs, respectively. Moreover, M. vulgare showed LC100 ovicidal activity at 200 ppm/24 hrs while T. capitatus oil showed no ovicidal activity. It was verified mosquitocidal activity, with LC50 and LC90 of 100 and 200 ppm/12hrs respectively for larvae, and 200 and 400 ppm/12hrs respectively for pupae of C. pipiens.


A destilação por arraste a vapor dos óleos essenciais de partes aéreas de Thymus capitatus Hoff. et Link. e de Marrubium vulgare L. coletadas na costa norte do Egito resultaram em rendimento de 0,5% e 0,2%, respectivamente. Resultados de análises por cromatografia gasosa acoplada à espectrometria de massas de ambas as amostras possibilitaram a identificação de 96,27% e 90,19% dos constituintes químicos respectivamente de T. capitatus e M. vulgare. Verificou-se predomínio de constituintes oxigenados (88,22% para T. capitatus e 57,50% para M. vulgare, principalmente fenóis, como carvacrol (32,98%) e timol (32,82%) no óleo essencial de T. capitatus, e timol (34,55%) no óleo essencial de M. vulgare. Avaliou-se a atividade dos óleos essenciais obtidos contra adultos e ovos de Biomphalaria alexandrina, bem como em larvas e pupas de Culex pipiens. A CL50 e CL90 do óleo essencial de T. capitatus em moluscos adultos foi respectivamente 200 e 400 ppm/3hrs, enquanto para o óles essencial de M. vulgare verificou-se CL50 e CL90 de 50 e 100 ppm/3hrs, respectivamente. Além disso, M. vulgare apresentou atividade ovicida, com CL 100 de 200 ppm/24 horas, enquanto o óleo essencial de T. capitatus não demonstrou atividade ovicida. Verificou-se ainda atividade mosquitocida, com CL50 e CL90 de 100 e 200 ppm/12hrs respectivamente para larvas, e 200 e 400 ppm/12hrs contra pupas de C. pipiens.
