The South African medicinal plant (L.) Källersjö is an important remedy used to treat chronic, respiratory, and skin ailments. From the essential oil (EO) extracted by the hydrodistillation, sixteen constituent components were identified with oxygenated monoterpenes: camphor (31.21%), filifolone (13.98%), chrysanthenone (8.72%), 1,8-cineole (7.85%), and terpinen-4-ol (7.39%) as predominant constituents. In the antibacterial activity study, the EO was found most susceptible against with an MIC of 6.4 mg/mL; however, it showed the same activity against and with an MIC value of 12.8 mg/mL. The sun protecting factor (SPF) of the EO was found to be 2.299 and thus establishing it as a potentially important cosmeceutical for sunscreen applications. This is the first report investigating the essential oil of for its chemical composition and skin-related in vitro biological activities viz antibacterial, antioxidant capacity, antityrosinase, and sun protection factor.
南非药用植物(L.)Källersjö是一种用于治疗慢性、呼吸道和皮肤疾病的重要药物。通过水蒸馏提取的精油(EO)中,鉴定出16种成分,其中氧化单萜类化合物:樟脑(31.21%)、丝状叶酮(13.98%)、菊酮(8.72%)、1,8-桉叶素(7.85%)和萜品-4-醇(7.39%)为主要成分。在抗菌活性研究中,发现该精油对[具体菌种1]最敏感,最低抑菌浓度(MIC)为6.4mg/mL;然而,它对[具体菌种2]和[具体菌种3]的MIC值为12.8mg/mL时表现出相同的活性。该精油的防晒系数(SPF)为2.299,因此确定其为防晒应用中潜在的重要药妆品。这是第一份研究[植物名称]精油的化学成分及其与皮肤相关的体外生物活性,即抗菌、抗氧化能力、抗酪氨酸酶和防晒系数的报告。
