Chemical Composition and Evaluation of the Antimicrobial Activity of the Essential Oils from Fruits of Morinda lucida
JOURNAL OF ESSENTIAL OIL BEARING PLANTS(2018)
摘要
The essential oils (EOs) obtained by hydro-distillation of fruits of Morinda lucida (Rubiaceae) growing in Cote d'Ivoire were investigated. The oil was analyzed and characterized by GC and GC-MS. Analyses of the EOs led to the identification and quantification of 45 constituents. Characterization of the EOs revealed the predominance of (E)-phytol (14.80 %) and n-octanol (6.19 %) followed by beta-caryophyllene (5.54 %) and 6,10,14-trimethyl pentandecan-2-one (5.48 %). The antibacterial activity of EOs from M.lucida was tested against three bacteria Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa using a disc-diffusion method and the minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) values determined. The inhibition zones and MIC values were in the range of 11.6 to 24.3 mm and 32 to 256 mu g/mL, respectively. The EOs showed good antibacterial activity against S. aureus and P. aeruginosa. The volatile oils extracted from M lucida exhibited a higher activity than the antibiotics tested on P aeruginosa.
