The essential oil from Tithonia rotundifolia leaf growing wild in Osun State, Nigeria obtained by hydro-distillation has been characterised for the first time by combined GC and GC-MS analyses. Forty-six components representing 93.8% of the total oil have been fully identified. The oil is characterised largely by sesquiterpene hydrocarbons (78.1%), represented chiefly by germacrene D (33%) and β-caryophyllene (25.8%). The less important classes of components are monoterpene hydrocarbons (5.1%), oxygenated monoterpenes (0.3%), oxygenated sesquiterpenes (3.1%) and non-terpenes (7.2%).

Piper betle L. (Piperaceae) is used in traditional medicinal diseases. Our study was planned to isolate chemical constituents from the leaves of P. betle variety desi and to characterized their structures. Phytochemical investigation of the methanolic extract of the leaves of P. betle variety desi led to isolate n-nonyl benzene (1-phenylnonane, 1), 4′-phenyl butanoxy n-hexanoate (4′-phenyl butanoxy caproate, 2), caffeic acid (3),1′-phenoloxy 5′α-hydroxyltetradecane (4) and 5-prop-2a-enyl-4,4′-(2′′α-arachidyloxy-3′′α-hydroxypropyl)-bispyrocatechol (1′′, 2′′-dihydro-2′′α-arachidyloxy-3′′α-hydroxybischavicol, 5). The structures of these phytoconstituents, isolated from this variety of P. betle for the first time, were established by spectroscopic methods and chemical constituents. The leaf essential oil was characterized by high percentage of farnesol (41.13%), acetyl eugenol (26.40%), valencene (6.34%), α - amorphene (3.43%), γ - cadinene (3.56%), isovanillin (2.27%), eugenol (1.21%), cadina-1,4-dione (1.77%) and α - bisabolene (1.15%).

Rhynchanthus beesianus is a medicinal, ornamental, and edible plant, and its essential oil has been used as an aromatic stomachic in China. In this study, the chemical constituents, antibacterial, and anti-inflammatory properties of flower essential oil (F-EO), leaf essential oil (L-EO), and stem essential oil (S-EO) of R. beesianus were investigated for the first time. According to the GC-FID/MS assay, the F-EO was mainly composed of bornyl formate (21.7%), 1,8-cineole (21.6%), borneol (9.7%), methyleugenol (7.7%), β-myrcene (5.4%), limonene (4.7%), camphene (4.5%), linalool (3.4%), and α-pinene (3.1%). The predominant components of L-EO were bornyl formate (33.9%), borneol (13.2%), 1,8-cineole (12.1%), methyleugenol (8.0%), camphene (7.8%), bornyl acetate (6.2%), and α-pinene (4.3%). The main components of S-EO were borneol (22.5%), 1,8-cineole (21.3%), methyleugenol (14.6%), bornyl formate (11.6%), and bornyl acetate (3.9%). For the bioactivities, the F-EO, L-EO, and S-EO exhibited significant antibacterial property against Bacillus subtilis, Enterococcus faecalis, Staphylococcus aureus, Proteus vulgaris, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Escherichia coli with the inhibition zones (7.28–9.69 mm), MIC (3.13–12.50 mg/mL), and MBC (6.25–12.50 mg/mL). Besides, the F-EO, L-EO, and S-EO significantly inhibited the production of proinflammatory mediator nitric oxide (NO) (93.15–94.72%) and cytokines interleukin-6 (IL-6) (23.99–77.81%) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) (17.69–24.93%) in LPS-stimulated RAW264.7 cells at the dose of 128 μg/mL in the absence of cytotoxicity. Hence, the essential oils of R. beesianus flower, leaf, and stem could be used as natural antibacterial and anti-inflammatory agents with a high application potential in the pharmaceutical and cosmetic fields.

This paper described the chemical compositions and antimicrobial activity of the essential oils from the leaves and stem of Amomum rubidumLamxay & N. S. Lý, collected from Bidoup Nui Ba National Park, Lam Dong, Vietnam. The essential oils were obtained by hydrodisitllation method while antimicrobial activity was evaluetd by microdilution broth susceptibility assay. The main constituents of the leaf essential oil were identified as 1,8-cineole (37.7%), -3-carene (19.5%) and limonene (16.3%) while -3-carene (21.9%), limonene (17.8%) and β-phellandrene (14.6%) dominated in the stem essentialoil. The leaf and stem essential oils displayed stronger inhibition of Pseudomonas aeruginosawith MIC of 25 μg/mLand 50 μg/mLrespectively. The stem essential oil was active against Candida albicans(MIC, 50 μg/mL) while both essential oils inhibited the growth of Fusarium oxysporum(MIC 50 μg/mL). This is the first report on chemical constituents and antimicrobial activity of the essential oils of A. rubidum.
