Demodex folliculorum (Follicular or Demodicid mite) is a zoonotic obligatory parasite with clinical manifestations range from normal infestation to complicated ones. Treatment of human facial demodicidosis with freshly prepared camphor oil with or without glycerol dilutions gave complete cure with concentrations of 100%, 75%. and 50%. Incomplete cure but marked drop in infestation density was achieved with diluted camphor oil at concentrations of 25-20%. Camphor oil application proved to be safe with no side effects.

This study evaluates the antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anticancer activities of camphor, menthol and their equimolar combination. In silico toxicity analysis confirmed the absence of toxic effects for both compounds. Antioxidant activity, assessed by 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and 2,2'-azino-bis (3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS) assays, revealed a synergistic effect of the equimolar combination with IC50 values of 10.

Article Synopsis
- The study analyzes essential oil extracted from dry Eucalyptus globulus leaves, focusing on its chemical composition and potential health benefits.
- The oil consists of 20 identified compounds, primarily linalool, and exhibits antifungal properties against Fusarium roseum and antibacterial effects against Pseudomonas savastanoi.
- While it shows moderate antioxidant activity, it differs from typical eucalyptus oils by being a linalool chemotype rather than eucalyptol-dominant.
