Common Names: bluegum eucalyptus, Tasmanian bluegum
Study tested antibacterial effects of 8 essential oils on P. multocida and M. haemolytica isolates. Lemongrass oil most potent. Different effects seen with agar diffusion and microdilution methods. Important for potential phytotherapeutic treatments.
Review of essential oils (EOs) for treating skin conditions. Tea tree oil shows efficacy for acne, kānuka oil and frankincense for psoriasis/eczema. More research needed for ajwain, eucalyptus, and cedarwood oils. Quality and safety of EOs inconsistent, further studies required.
Study compared intrauterine herbal product (EUC) to antibiotic (CEPH) for treating endometritis in dairy cows. Both had similar clinical cure rates, suggesting herbal product as non-inferior alternative to reduce antibiotic use.
Researchers evaluated isorhapontin from E. globulus leaves as a natural insecticide by inhibiting AChE. Isorhapontin acted as a competitive inhibitor and showed potential for insecticide development, binding to AChE's active site.
Study evaluated essential oils for antimicrobial activity against biofilms on dental acrylic resin. EOs of and showed higher action than standard treatments. EOs could be effective in reducing biofilm on dental acrylic resin.
Study examined plant extracts as textile coatings, showing varying antimicrobial effectiveness. Hexanoic extract was most potent against bacteria, methanolic extract showed antibacterial properties but reduced post-laundering. Findings inform use of plant extracts in textile antimicrobial coatings.
Researchers studied the chemical composition and anti-inflammatory properties of Eucalyptus globulus leaf essential oil from China. This plant is widely used in alternative medicine in developing countries.
Researchers developed eco-friendly insect-repellent paint coatings using plant-based materials like zinc nanoparticles of L. with antibacterial properties. These coatings effectively repelled insects, had lighter colors, and lasted longer against mosquitoes, providing safe and sustainable solutions for combating climate change.
Scientists synthesized silver nanoparticles (AgNP) using plant by-products as reducers and capping agents. AgNP showed antimicrobial properties against pathogenic bacteria and efficient photodegradation of a dye. The biosynthesis was found to have a competitive cost of 8.0-9.0 €/g.
This study analyzed eucalyptus residue and found 55 compounds, including triterpenoids with antitumor activity. Triterpenoids could be enhanced to 82% and showed inhibitory effects on breast, gastric, and cervical cancer cells. Potential for development as antitumor drugs.
Scientists extracted essential oil from Tasmanian blue gum and found it had strong antioxidant and antibacterial properties. The oil contained various compounds that showed potential for replacing chemical disinfectants. This could be important for developing new treatments for antibiotic-resistant bacterial diseases.
Hydrosols, by-products of essential oil extraction, were tested and found to have antimicrobial properties against Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, and Candida albicans. Aloysia citrodora hydrosol was the most effective, indicating potential applications in various industries.
This study evaluated the cytotoxic activity of plant and herbal essential oils (EOs) against lung and colon cancer cells. The most potent EOs were encapsulated into solid lipid nanoparticles (SLN) to enhance their anticancer activity. SLN/CnEO was found to be safe and significantly increased cancer cell death and inhibition of cell migration.
Essential oils (EOs) have been used for a long time in traditional medicine and aromatherapy to manage various diseases. Researchers worldwide have studied the neuroprotective and anti-aging potentials of EOs and their possible mechanisms of action. This review summarizes the current findings on EOs tested against neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's disease and dementia, as well as anxiety, depression, and cognitive dysfunction. EOs have been effective on several pathological targets and improved cognitive performance in animal models and humans. Therefore, EOs may be developed as multi-potent agents against neurological disorders with better efficacy, safety, and cost-effectiveness.
