| description | Introduction: The members of the genus Tanacetum are important medicinal
plants. This study investigated the chemical composition and antibacterial
activity of Tanacetum lingulatum and Tanacetum polycephalum essential oils
on human infectious bacteria. Methods: The aerial part of two plants were
collected from Urmia Province, Iran. The essential oils were extracted using a
Clevenger device. The antibacterial effect of essential oils was determined using
the disc diffusion assay, minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC), and
minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) by serial dilution method. Also,
free radical scavenging activity by 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) was
examined. Chemical composition was measured using the Gas
Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GCMS). Results: The major constituents
in T. polycephalum and T. lingulatum essential oils were 1,8- cineole and
camphor, respectively. The highest sensitivity (MIC of 0.312 μg mL- ( was
observed with T. polycephalum against Bacillus subtilis. The lowest IC50 (most
potent radical scavenging activity) belonged to T. lingulatum essential oil.
Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Streptococcus pyogenes showed resistance to T.
lingulatum essential oil. Conclusion: The essential oil of T. polycephalum and
T. lingulatum are potential natural antibacterials to treat human pathogenic
bacteria and can be used as alternatives to produce antimicrobial agents. |
