ABSTRACT
This study was designed to examine the in vitro antioxidant and antimicrobial activities of essential oil and crude methanolic (MeOH) extract of Eleutherococcus senticosus (common name, Siberian ginseng) fruit and its partitioned fractions, including hexane, ethyl acetate (EtOAc), n-butanol (BuOH) and aqueous. 1,1-dephenyl-2-picryl-hydrazyl free radical scavenging and reducing power assay suggest that antioxidant activity of EtOAc and BuOH fractions is due to the reducing ability of the antioxidant against oxidative effects of reactive oxygen species. In addition, the essential oil of Siberian ginseng fruit showed remarkable antimicrobial activity against Kocuria rhizophila (MIC = 125 μg/ml), Micrococcus luteus (MIC = 500 μg/ml), and Escherichia coli (MIC = 63 μg/ml). The chemical compositions of the essential oil obtained by the simultaneous steam-distillation and extraction method were analyzed using GC-MS; trans-caryophyllene (21.7%), humulene (7.4%), bicyclogermacrene (6.0%), (+) spathulenol (4.5%), germacrene-D (3.2%), tau-muurolol (2.5%) and delta-cadinene (2.3%) were found as main constituents. Furthermore, HPLC analysis identified ursolic acid as one of the principal components in Siberian ginseng fruit extract. Although this study has been carried out by in vitro assay, these results suggest that Siberian ginseng fruit may be a good candidate as a source of antioxidant and antimicrobial ingredients.
