The essential oils extracted from the young stems and leaves of Chamaecyparis lawsoniana(A.Murray) Parl. have been analysed by Gas Chromatography and Gas Chromatography coupled to Mass Spectrometry. A total of 66 compounds were identified representing around the 99% of the total oil. The oil was richer in monoterpenes than in sesquiterpenes. The only main component was limonene with a percentage composition of 77.7%. The rest of compounds that contribute to the fragrance had percentage composition lower that the 3.0%: p-cymen-7-ol (3.0%), myrcene (2.4%), camphor (2.1%), δ-elemene (1.6%), oplopanonyl acetate (1.6%), methyl perillate (1.3%), terpinen-4-ol (1.0%) and β-oplopenone 1.0%. The antibacterial and antifungal activity of this oil was also tested against different microorganisms. The only fungus tested, Candida albicans,was very sensitive to the treatment with an inhibition halos of 20mm. The oil was more effective with the Gram (+) than with Gram (-) bacteria. The inhibition halos were 12mm, 12-13mm and 12-13mm for Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus aureus and Micrococcus luteus respectively. We report new data of the antibacterial and antifungal activity of the essential oil of this species. The essential oil of C. lawsoniana could be considered as a good natural antibacterial and antifungal agent.

Essential oils were hydrodistilled from six Zieria species, including two previously not investigated: Z. floydii and Z. odorifera subsp. williamsii, and characterized using GC-MS. Additionally, solvent extracts of leaf material from five of these species were prepared using n-hexane, acetone and methanol as solvents, respectively. These solvent extracts were examined, along with essential oils, for antibacterial activity using micro titer plate broth dilution assays. Antifungal activity against pathogenic Trichophyton species responsible for dermal infections such as Tinea and Kangaroo Pox (uncommon), was examined using a similar method. Results of essential oil characterizations are relatively consistent with those previously reported. Interestingly, the essential oil composition of Z. floydii showed car-3-en-2-one at a concentration of 71%, similar to that observed in a previous study for Z. furfuracea and Z. granulata, thus complementing the observations of A.G. Floyd that Z. floydii is morphologically allied with these two species (CANB 598758). Antimicrobial assays demonstrated relatively high antibacterial and antifungal activity, using both essential oils and solvent extracts. This is particularly true for the n-hexane extract from Z. smithii. We therefore conclude that Zieria species may be a useful source for the development of antiseptic, cosmaceutical and/or topical nutraceutical products. In addition, they may well serve as a source of further novel, purified compounds providing scaffolds for pharmaceutical development in the future.

AbstractThe water-distilled essential oil the leaves of Coridothymus capitatus were analyzed by GC/MS and also analyzed by direct thermal desorption GC/MS. Comparison was made between two analyses techniques. The essential oil consisted mainly of monoterpenes 98.9%, while oxygenated hydrocarbons were identified as 55.6% and non-oxygenated hydrocarbons as 43.6%. As major components were found carvacrol (35.6%), p-cymene (21.0%), thymol (18.6%), γ-terpinene (12.3%), α-terpinene (3.2%), β-myrcene (3.0%) and α-thujene (1.3%) by hydrodistillation and by the GC/MS method. The direct thermal desorption GC/MS analysis also showed the same major components, namely carvacrol (51.6%), thymol (21.7%), pcymene (9.7%) γ-terpinene (8.2%), α-terpinene (1.64%). The essential oil of C. capitatus showed strong activity against S. aureus, P. vulgaris, P. aeruginosa, E. coli, K. pneumonia, B. subtilis, E. faecalis, S. epidermidis and C. albicans.

Hypericum Species

The in vitro antimicrobial activity of Hypericum annulatum and Hypericum elegans essential oils was evaluated against a panel of standardized bacteria and fungi using broth microdilution assay. Both essential oils showed antimicrobial activity against all the tested microorganisms. Hypericum annulatum essential oil showed better antibacterial than antifungal activity, being more effective against Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Escherichia coli while H. elegans essential oil showed no significant difference between antibacterial and antifungal activity. Antimicrobial testing of ?-pinene, ?-pinene and ?-myrcene compounds was also performed. All the compounds were active against all the tested microorganisms, however, based on the MIC, MBC and MFC values, none of these compounds could be thought of as the main bearer of the oils? antimicrobial activity. This is the first report regarding the antimicrobial activity of the essential oils of the two Hypericum species.
