The aim of this study was to verify the existence of synergistic antibacterial effect between four essential oils (Aniba rosaeodora, Melaleuca alternifolia, Origanum vulgare, and Pelargonium graveolens) individually combined with the antibacterial drug Gentamicin. We investigated the effectiveness
The essential oil of Aniba hostmanniana (Nees) Mez, family Lauraceae, was obtained from fresh leaves by hydrodistillation. The chemical composition of the oil was assessed using gas chromatography with mass spectrometric detection (GC-MS). The antimicrobial activity of the essential oil was tested
Extracts and six isolated substances from Aniba (Lauraceae) Amazonian species A. parviflora, A. panurensis and A. rosaeodora were analysed in vitro to their antibacterial, antiparasitic and antiplasmodial activities. NMR and MS experiments led to the identification of three styrylpyrones
Essential oils (EOs) from leaves and branches of Aniba parviflora (Meisn.) Mez were obtained by hydrodistillation and their chemical compositions determined by gas chromatography - mass spectrometry. Oxygenated sesquiterpenoids were the most representative compound class in both EOs (~ 40%).
Essential oils are complex mixtures of odorous and volatile compounds derived from secondary plant metabolism. They can be isolated from many plants by mechanical pressing or hydro- and steam-distillation and are known to induce a wide range of biological effects through their antibacterial,
