In 2022,Verdi, Camila Marina; Machado, Vanessa Schopf; Machado, Alencar Kolinsk; Klein, Bruna; Bonez, Pauline Cordenonsi; de Andrade, Eduardo Nascimento Correa; Rossi, Grazielle; Campos, Marli Matiko; Wagner, Roger; Sagrillo, Michele Rorato; Santos, Roberto Christ Vianna published an article in Natural Product Research. The title of the article was 《Phytochemical characterization, genotoxicity, cytotoxicity, and antimicrobial activity of Gautheria procumbens essential oil》.Category: esters-buliding-blocks The author mentioned the following in the article:
This study investigated the chem. constituents of Gaultheria procumbens essential oil and is the first to relate cytogenotoxicity with oxidative metabolism and antimicrobial activity. Chromatog. anal. of the essential oil showed Me salicylate (99.96%) and linalool (0.04%) as the major compounds The essential oil showed no signs of cytogenotoxicity at different concentrations (1.82 to 58.34 mg mL-1). Furthermore, G. procumbens essential oil and Me salicylate were used to evaluate the minimal inhibitory concentrations (MIC) and minimal microbicidal concentrations (MMC). The results showed efficacy against several microorganisms, including Aeromonas caviae, Candida albicans, and Mycobacterium fortuitum with MIC values ranging from 1.82 to 3.64 mg mL-1 and MMC values ranging from 3.64 to 12.67 mg mL-1, which were confirmed by time-kill kinetics. Based on our results, the essential oil is a promising alternative to developing future formulations to treat infections caused by microorganisms. In the experimental materials used by the author, we found Methyl Salicylate(cas: 119-36-8Category: esters-buliding-blocks)
Methyl Salicylate(cas: 119-36-8) has been used: as a component of clarifying solution for treating Mongolian gerbil cochlea intact for immunofluorescence analysis, as a plant elicitor to test its effect on reducing the whitefly population from tomato plants.Category: esters-buliding-blocks
