Article Synopsis
- Minthostachys verticillata essential oil (EO) shows immunomodulatory and anti-inflammatory properties and could be an alternative treatment for bovine mastitis, a disease caused by bacteria like Enterococcus faecium.
- The study found that EO enhances macrophage phagocytosis and modifies the immune response in mice, leading to reduced inflammation and bacterial counts without activating adaptive immunity.
- These findings suggest that EO might help in early infection resolution in bovine mastitis, potentially offering a natural solution to reduce reliance on antibiotics that can contaminate milk.
Minthostachys verticillata (Lamiaceae), popularly known as peperina is largely used in popular medicine for its digestive, carminative, antispasmodic and antirheumatic properties. There are no reports of repeated exposure toxicity to guarantee their safety. The present study investigated the chemical composition, analyzed by GC-FID, and the 90-day toxicity and genotoxicity effect of M.
