Keywords: | 1,8-cineole;Antimicrobial;Antioxidant activity;Essential oil;Salvia fruticosa | Issue Date: | 6-Feb-2013 | Journal: | Archives of Biological Sciences | Abstract: | The composition of essential oil isolated from Salvia fruticosa, wild growing in Libya, was analyzed by GC and GC-MS. Forty-five compounds could be identified. The essential oil contained 1,8-cineole (49.34%), camphor (7.53%), ß-pinene (7.38%), myrcene (7.38%), a-pinene (5.15%), ß-caryophyllene (4.13%) and a-terpineol (3.25). Antioxidant activity was analyzed using the DPPH free radical scavenging method and low antioxidant activity was found (IC50 = 15.53 mg/ml). The oil was also screened for its antimicrobial activity against eight bacteria (four Gram-negative and four Gram-positive) and eight fungi. The essential oil of S. fruticosa showed minimal inhibitory activity (MIC) at 0.125-1.5 mg/ml and bactericidal (MBC) at 0.5-2.0 mg/ml. In addition, it exhibited fungistatic (MIC) at 0.125-1.0 mg/ml and fungicidal effect (MFC) at 0.125-1.5 mg/ml. |
