in vitro inhibition of growth and virulence factors production in azole resistant strains of non albicans candida by cinnamomum verum Cymbopogon citratus Cymbopogon martini and syzygium aromaticum essential oils
Journal of biologically active products from nature, 2013Co-Authors: Mohd Sajjad Ahmad Khan, Iqbal AhmadAbstract:In the present study, oils of Cinnamomum verum, Cymbopogon citratus, Cymbopogon martini and Syzygium aromaticum and their major active compounds eugenol, cinnamaldehyde, citral and geraniol were studied for their efficacy in inhibiting growth and virulence factors (cell surface hydrophobicity, proteinase and haemolysin) production in the azole-resistant strains of non-albicans Candida. All the test oils exhibited significant antifungal activity; however, C. martini and cinnamaldehyde were most active (MIC range 45-200 μg/ml). Time-kill assays revealed relatively higher fungicidal activity by geraniol, eugenol, cinnamaldehyde and C. verum compared to other oils against C. tropicalis 01. At 0.5 × MIC, C. verum, C. citratus, C. martini, S. aromaticum, cinnamaldehyde and eugenol exhibited >70 % reduction in the production of proteinase in the test strains. Cinnamaldehyde at 50 μg/ml exhibited a reduction of 78.90 % in the production of haemolysin whereas % CSH was reduced from 60.97 to 26.89 in C. tropicalis ...

antifungal and biofilm inhibitory effect of Cymbopogon citratus lemongrass essential oil on biofilm forming by candida tropicalis isolates an in vitro study
Journal of Ethnopharmacology, 2020Co-Authors: Gulcan Sahal, Herman J Woerdenbag, Wouter L J Hinrichs, Anita Visser, Pieter G Tepper, Wim J Quax, Henny C Van Der Mei, Isil Seyis BilkayAbstract:Ethnopharmacological relevance Cymbopogon citratus (lemongrass) essential oil has been widely used as a traditional medicine and is well known for antimicrobial properties. Therefore, it might be a potent anti-infective and biofilm inhibitive against Candida tropicalis infections. Until now, no ideal coating or cleaning method based on an essential oil has been described to prevent biofilm formation of Candida strains on silicone rubber maxillofacial prostheses, voice prostheses and medical devices susceptible to C. tropicalis infections. Aim of the study To investigate the antifungal and biofilm inhibitory effects of Cymbopogon citratus oil. Clinical isolates of C. tropicalis biofilms on different biomaterials were used to study the inhibitory effect. Materials and methods The efficacy of Cymbopogon citratus, Cuminum cyminum, Citrus limon and Cinnamomum verum essential oils were compared on biofilm formation of three C. tropicalis isolates on 24 well polystyrene plates. C. citratus oil coated silicone rubber surfaces were prepared using hypromellose ointment as a vehicle. The antifungal tests to determine minimum inhibitory and minimum fungicidal concentrations were assessed by a microbroth dilution method and biofilm formation was determined by a crystal violet binding assay. Results C. tropicalis strains formed more biofilm on hydrophobic materials than on hydrophilic glass. C. citratus oil showed a high antifungal effect against all C. tropicalis strains. For comparison, C. limon oil and C. cyminum oil showed minor to no killing effect against the C. tropicalis strains. C. citratus oil had the lowest minimal inhibitory concentration of all essential oils tested and inhibited biofilm formation of all C. tropicalis strains. C. citratus oil coating on silicone rubber resulted in a 45-76% reduction in biofilm formation of all C. tropicalis strains. Conclusion Cymbopogon citratus oil has good potential to be used as an antifungal and antibiofilm agent on silicone rubber prostheses and medical devices on which C. tropicalis biofilms pose a serious risk for skin infections and may cause a shorter lifespan of the prosthesis.

influence of salt stress on essential oil yield and composition of lemon grass Cymbopogon schoenanthus l spreng ssp laniger hook maire et weil
Natural Product Research, 2011Co-Authors: Ayda Khadhri, Mohamed Neffati, Samira Smiti, J M F Nogueira, Maria Eduarda AraujoAbstract:Cymbopogon is an aromatic plant valued for its citrus scent aroma. In this article, the effect of saline irrigation water on yield and quality of Cymbopogon schoenanthus L. was evaluated. Compounds of essential oils were identified by gas chromatography–mass spectrometry and/or 13C-NMR spectroscopy. Results showed that the growth of the aerial part was not affected at a concentration of 50 mmol NaCl. Under salt stress, the content of major chemical compounds was affected differently by the treatment level.
