Abstract

Introduction

Throughout history, medicinal plants have been used as essential for humans treatment. The antibacterial applications of tarragon (Artemisia dracunculus) in phytotherapy will be covered in this review study. Despite the advancements in pharmaceuticals, herbal remedies continue to be vital, especially in areas where access to modern therapy is limited. In addition, the antibacterial qualities of Tarragon plant extracts and their innovative extraction techniques are described in this review article.

Methods

A thorough examination of the literature looked at the chemical composition, historical uses, and modern extraction techniques of tarragon (A. dracunculus). The extraction techniques, such as the in-syringe reversed dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction (IS-R-DLLME), ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE), deep eutectic solvents (DES), and pressurised liquid extraction (PLE), and the methods of review analysis the antibacterial properties of tarragon (A. dracunculus) extracts against dangerous microbes.

Results

Both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria can be effectively resistant by tarragon (A. dracunculus) essential oils and extracts. Also the primary bioactive components were limonene, methyl eugenol, and estragole. The yield and purity of bioactive components were enhanced by novel extraction techniques such as IS-R-DLLME and UAE. At minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC). Therefore, the essential oils demonstrated strong antibacterial action against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus.

Discussion/Conclusions

The tarragon (A. dracunculus) plant may be regarded as a potent natural antibacterial agent, especially for antibiotic-resistant illnesses. By combining traditional botanical knowledge with contemporary extraction methods, new medicinal compounds can be created. This study highlighted the need to explore the synergistic effects of tarragon's bioactive components and improve extraction methods in order to optimise therapeutic advantages. Ultimately, tarragon (A. dracunculus) may help antibiotic resistance and microbial illnesses.
