AI Article Synopsis
- * This study investigates the nematicidal properties of essential oils from two varieties of *L.* (subsp. *SMM* and *SMV*), known for their therapeutic benefits in traditional medicine.
- * In laboratory tests, both essential oils effectively killed anisakis larvae within 24 hours and inhibited acetylcholinesterase activity, suggesting their potential use in medical and food-related applications.
Article Abstract
The increasing presence of spp. in fish is having significant implications for public health due to a rise in cases of anisakiasis. Given this situation, there is a critical need to develop new strategies to fight this parasite. L., commonly known as savory, is a plant recognized in folk medicine for its therapeutic activity, such as being antispasmodic and digestive, among other properties. The aim of this study was to assess the nematicide activity against larvae of the essential oil from two varieties of (subsp. (SMM) and (SMV)). The essential oils were obtained via hydro-distillation of the flowering aerial parts. In vitro assays demonstrated the complete inactivation of anisakis larvae after 24 h when exposed to both essential oils, along with a significant reduction in their penetration capacity. Moreover, both essential oils showed an inhibitory effect on acetylcholinesterase (AChE). No differences between the subspecies were observed in any of the assays. Hence, the nematicidal activity of essential oils could be attributed to their capacity to inhibit AChE. These findings suggest the potential of essential oil for therapeutic and food industry applications.

Bacterial resistance, a global public health concern prioritized by the World Health Organization, is particularly alarming in Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli. Urgently addressing this, the search for new antibiotics has turned to plant essential oils. Our study focused essential oils derived from Colombian plants Croton killipianus, Croton smithianus, Croton leptostachyus, Croton hondensis, and Croton gossypiifolius.

Monoterpenes (MTs), the major constituents of plant essential oils, cover a broad spectrum of biological activities through their interaction with biomembranes. MTs are highly hydrophobic substances with a net electrical dipole, but are not clearly amphipathic. As a result, they aggregate at increasing concentrations in aqueous media, and in membrane environments their behavior changes from dynamics modulators to disruptors.

Volatile compounds have a deep influence on the quality and application of the medicinal herb ; however, little is known about the effect of UV-B radiation on volatile metabolites. We herein investigated the effects of UV-B exposure on the volatile compounds and transcriptome of to assess the potential for improving its quality and medicinal characteristics. Out of 733 volatiles obtained, a total of 133 differentially expressed metabolites (DEMs) were identified by metabolome analysis.
