BACKGROUND The current chemotherapy for cutaneous leishmaniosis (CL) has a series of drug limitations such as toxic side effects, long duration, high costs and drug resistance, which requires the development of new drugs or effective alternatives to the CL treatment. Essential oils (EOs) are complex mixtures of secondary metabolites from various plants. It has been shown that several EOs, or th...

The chemical composition, antioxidant and anticholinesterase activity of three essential oils (EOs) obtained from the oleogum resin of three endemic Sqotraen Boswellia species, Boswellia socotrana Balf. f, Boswellia ameero Balf. f, and Boswellia elongata Balf. f were determined. GC-MS technique was used for the analysis of the oils. Oils of B. socotrana and B. ameero were characterized by a hig...

Essential oils (EO) are a great antimicrobial resource against bacterial resistance in public health. Math models useful describing the growth, survival, and inactivation of microorganisms antimicrobials. We evaluated activity Melaleuca armillaris EO obtained from plants placed province Buenos Aires (Argentina) Staphylococcus aureus. The minimum inhibitory bactericidal concentrations were close...

Essential oils have been used since ancient times in traditional medicine and agri-food science to preserve food, combat human diseases. (EOs) from clove rosemary, obtained by hydro-distillation, were analyzed GC/MS evaluated for their antifungal activity against strains of Aspergillus tubingensis A. luchuensis effect on ochratoxin A (OTA) production these fungi. The major constituent EO was eu...

This study aimed to evaluate the activity of essential oils (EOs) against Streptococcus mutans biofilm by chemically characterizing their fractions responsible for biological and antiproliferative activity. Twenty EO were obtained by hydrodistillation and submitted to the antimicrobial assay (minimum inhibitory (MIC) and bactericidal (MBC) concentrations) against S. mutans UA159. Thin-layer chr...

Abstract Citrus aurantium var. dulce (sweet orange) belongs to one of the largest genera Rutaceae family. The species this genus are consumed worldwide fresh or in form beverages. They include well-known crops lemons, oranges, mandarins, grapefruits, and limes. Essential oils (EOs) obtained from have great economic value since they mainly produced peel crops, which considered waste during their...

Abstract Numerous studies have investigated the chemical composition and biological activities of essential oils from different Citrus species fruit peel, leaves flowers. This paper aims to investigate composition, larvicidal antileishmanial oil reticulata peel (CR-EO). CR-EO was obtained by hydrodistillation in a Clevenger-type apparatus its analyzed GC-MS GC-FID. Limonene (85.7%), ɣ-terpinene...

introduction: zhumeria majdae is an herbal plant which is only found in hormozgan province. the aim of this study was to compare the antimicrobial property and toxicity of essential oil (eo) and encapsulated form of the essential oil (efeo) of zhumeria majdae. materials and methods: first, the plant was dried, grinded, and its eo extracted by hydrodistallation. then, the eo was encapsulated by ...

OBJECTIVES The aim of this investigation was to evaluate whether the adenosine triphosphate (ATP) bioluminescence method is an appropriate tool to assess the efficacy of antiseptic mouthrinses in terms of quantitative reductions of total viable microbial counts in mixed biofilm populations in vitro. STUDY DESIGN Three mouthrinses, containing respectively, chlorhexidine and cetylpyridinium chl...
