This study evaluated the in vitro antibacterial activity of essential oils from Lippia graveolens (Mexican oregano), Origanum vulgaris (oregano), Thymus vulgaris (thyme), Rosmarinus officinalis (rosemary), Cymbopogon nardus (citronella), Cymbopogon citratus (lemongrass), and Eucalyptus citriodora (eucalyptus) against Escherichia coli (n = 22) strains isolated from Alouatta spp. feces. Minimum i...

background and objectives: this paper describes chemical composition and antimicrobial activity of cymbopogon nardus citronella essential oil against edwardsiella spp. (n = 21), vibrio spp. (n = 6), aeromonas spp. (n = 2), escherichia coli (n = 2), salmonella spp. (n = 2), flavobacterium spp. (n = 1), pseudomonas spp. (n = 1) and streptococcus spp. (n = 1) isolated from internal organs of aquat...

The essential oils of Cananga odorata (ylang ylang), Citrus sinensis (orange), Cymbopogon citratus (lemongrass), Cymbopogon nardus (citronella grass), Eucalyptus citriodora (eucalyptus), Ocimum basilicum (sweet basil) and Syzygium aromaticum (clove), were tested for their insecticide activity against Aedes aegypti, Culex quinquefasciatus and Anopheles dirus using the WHO standard susceptibility...

The effectiveness of aqueous extract of seven locally available medicinal plants i.e. Trachyspermum ammi (seeds), Zingiber officinale (rhizome), Tinospora cordifolia (leaves), Cymbopogon citratus (leaves), Moringa oleifera (bark) were evaluated against the plant pathogenic fungus i.e. Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lini (causing wilt in linseed). The plant extracts were screened for their antagonist...

The hexane and methanol extracts of the roots of Cymbopogon martinii var. motia have been investigated to afford mainly fatty acids and common sterols. A new hydroxy unsaturated fatty acid, namely, 16-hydroxypentacos-14(z)-enoic acid, has also been isolated.

The study aims at synthesizing silver nanoparticles using leaf extract of Cymbopogon citratus along with the evaluation of its antioxidant, free radicals scavenging, and reducing power properties. Biosynthesized silver nanoparticles were characterized X-Ray diffractometry, Scanning Electron Microscopy, Transmission Electron Microscopy, Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy and Energy Dispersi...

ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE Aqueous extracts of Cymbopogon citratus (Cy) leaves are used in traditional medicine for the treatment of inflammatory conditions, however, little is known about their mechanism of action. AIM OF THE STUDY The aim of this study is to explore the anti-inflammatory properties of Cymbopogon citratus leaves and their polyphenol-rich fractions (PFs), as well its mech...

Dermatophytosis is a common zoonosis in urban centers. Dogs and cats have played an important role as its disseminators. Environmental decontamination is essential for the prevention of its propagation to humans and animals. However, sanitizers or disinfectants with antifungal activity, currently available, have high toxicity. The present study evaluated the in vitro effects of an extract of ci...
