Synopsis

The antioxidant, cytotoxic, and antimicrobial activities of the essential oils from the leaves and seeds of Cinnamomum camphora and Zingiber officinale were studied. The EOs of leaves and seeds had good antioxidant activity than ginger with DPPH and ABTS, and bacterial activity against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus.  While, Ginger EO exhibited stronger cytotoxicity than camphor (leaf and seed) against A549 and MCF-7 cell lines, with IC50 values of 52.0 and 48.4 µg/ml, respectively. The present results suggested promising antioxidant, cytotoxic and antibacterial properties for Cinnamomum camphora and Zingiber officinale EOs.
