چکیده

objective: the immunomodulatory effect of geranial, geranial acetate, gingerol, and eugenol essential oils were evaluated by studying humoral and cell-mediated immune responses. materials and method: the essential oils were evaluated for immunomodulatory activity in in vivo studies, using rats as the animal model. the essential oils were tested for hypersensitivity and hemagglutination reactions, using sheep red blood cells (srbc) as the antigen while sodium carboxy methyl cellulose (scmc) served as the control in all the tests. result: orally administrated essential oils showed a significant increase of test parameters, viz., haemagglutinating antibody titre (hat) and delayed type hypersensitivity (dth) response. in rats immunized with sheep rbc, essential oils enhanced the humoral antibody response to the antigen and significantly potentiated the cellular immunity by facilitating the foot pad thickness response to sheep rbc in sensitized rats with doses of 50-800 mg/ml. haemagglutination titre of geraniol showed the highest increase of 139.3±6.38 and with 5.9±0.7 dth, respectively. for geranial acetate, the haemagglutination titre showed a moderate increase of 87.5±5.9 and highest increase in dth with 5.9±0.8, respectively. using gingerol, the haemagglutination titre showed a moderate increase with 88.2±6.306 and dth 3.5±0.5, respectively and for eugenol, the haemaggulation titre showed a moderate increase with 112.06±6.169 and dth 4.4±0.6, respectively. these differences were statistically significant. conclusion: the essential oils were found to have a significant immunostimulant activity on both the specific and non-specific immune mechanisms.

Essential Oils and Antifungal Activity

Since ancient times, folk medicine and agro-food science have benefitted from the use of plant derivatives, such as essential oils, to combat different diseases, as well as to preserve food. In Nature, essential oils play a fundamental role in protecting the plant from biotic and abiotic attacks to which it may be subjected. Many researchers have analyzed in detail the modes of action of essent...

Nematicidal Activity of Plant Essential Oils and Components From Ajowan (Trachyspermum ammi), Allspice (Pimenta dioica) and Litsea (Litsea cubeba) Essential Oils Against Pine Wood Nematode (Bursaphelenchus Xylophilus).

Commercial plant essential oils from 26 plant species were tested for their nematicidal activities against the pinewood nematode, Bursaphelenchus xylophilus. Good nematicidal activity against B. xylophilus was achieved with essential oils of ajowan (Trachyspermum ammi), allspice (Pimenta dioica) and litsea (Litsea cubeba). Analysis by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry led to identification o...
