Essential oils of the leaf and stem of Polyalthia Viridis Craib and their biologial activities
The stem oils also successfully suppressed the growth of the filamentous fungus Aspergillus niger and the yeast Candida albicans with minimum inhibitory concentration values of 50 μg/mL. P. viridis oils suppressed NO production in lipopolysaccharide-stimulated BV2 microglial cells, with IC50 values of 57.6 to 76.7 μg/mL.
The work is the result of the project: "Screening the anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer effects of some Vietnamese medicinal plants and studying the phytochemistry of selected species", code: QTRU02.04/20- 21, under the cooperation of: Institute of Chemistry, Mien Trung Institute for Scientific Research-VNMN, Institute of Natural Products Chemistry University of Education, Hue University and Faculty of Chemical Technology, Hanoi University of Industry.
