Description 112-118
Cyperus articulatus L. is widely distributed in various
geographical regions of the world, and it has been used as a folk
medicine for treating haemorrhoids, diarrhoea, and other diseases.
The present study aimed to analyze the chemical constituents and
antimicrobial activities of essential oil (EO) extracted from
C. articulatus grown in the Karnataka region to explore its
potential pharmaceutical usage. The EO from the rhizomes of
C. articulatus was extracted by hydro-distillation and was tested
for its antimicrobial activities against selected bacteria
(Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonella enterica serovar Abony, and
Escherichia coli) and fungi (Candida albicans, Aspergillus flavus,
and Aspergillus niger). The EO yield was 1.24 g/100 g of dried
rhizome powder. The EO recorded a significant inhibition against
S. aureus and A. flavus. The GC-MS analysis of EO showed the
predominance of important metabolites such as mustakone
(20.2%), longifolenaldehyde (14.9%), cedroxyde (8.7%),
α-copaene (4.7%), cyperene (2%), cyperotundone (2.6%),
khusinol (2.3%), and corymbolone (1.1%) along with several
other monoterpenoids and sesquiterpenoids. The study revealed
the EO of C. articulatus as a promising source of antibacterial and
antifungal metabolites which may lead to its application in
managing bacterial and fungal infections and storage mould.
