Abstract
Introduction
Plant based natural products are well known for their therapeutic potential as they are used to treat many diseases, but these plants need to be validated through the scientific study. Therefore, the present investigation was carried out to evaluate the usefulness of the bioactive compounds present in the essential oils of the Cleome coluteoides.
Methods
Different parts of the plant, including leaves, flowers, fruits, stems and roots, were used to extract the essential oils. The chemical composition of essential oils was analysed by gas-chromatography mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Their antimicrobial properties were evaluated against several human pathogens (three fungi and four bacteria). The enzyme inhibition activity (α-amylase, tyrosinase, butyrylcholinesterase, acetylcholinesterase inhibitory tests) of the essential oils was evaluated, along with, their antioxidant activity (DPPH, 2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) tests), xanthine oxidase inhibitory activity, antiproliferative activity (against MCF-7 and Hep-G2), anti-arthritic activity (protein denature assay), and anti-inflammatory activity.
Results
Phytol, sclareol, 7-α-hydroxy manool, and piperitone were found to be the main compounds of the studied essential oils. Notable antibacterial, antifungal, enzyme inhibition, antioxidant, xanthine oxidase inhibitory, antiproliferative, anti-arthritic, and inflammatory activities were found form the essential oils. The best activity was found in the case of the essential oils made from leaves.
Discussion/Conclusions
These potential biological activities along with the chemical constitutes present in the essential oils of C. coluteoides can make them potentially utilisable in different biomedical and therapeutic applications in the future. Additionally, the studied plant and their essential oils can serve as a natural remedy for a variety of lifestyle diseases.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Herbal Medicine, the official journal of the National Institute of Medical Herbalists, is a peer reviewed journal which aims to serve its readers as an authoritative resource on the profession and practice of herbal medicine. The content areas of the journal reflect the interests of Medical Herbalists and other health professionals interested in the clinical and professional application of botanical medicines. The objective is to strengthen the research and educational base of herbal medicine with research papers in the form of case studies, original research articles and reviews, monographs, clinical trials and relevant in vitro studies. It also publishes policy statements, opinion pieces, book reviews, conference proceedings and profession related information such as pharmacovigilance reports providing an information source for not only the Herbal Practitioner but any Health professional with an interest in phytotherapy.
