Abstract:

In order to investigate the differences and similarities between the essential oils (EOs) obtained from Schisandra chinensis fruits pulp and seeds (PEO and SEO), the chemical composition, anti-tumor property, antimicrobial and antioxidant activity were examined. According to the results of GC-MS (gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, GC-MS) analyses, 55 and 45 compounds which represented 94.04% and 93.39% of the oils were identified, respectively. In addition, anti-tumor activity of essential oils was carried out using the Sulforhodamine B (SRB) method. The oils also revealed the highest anti-tumor activity against HeLa and BGC-823 cells, but they had no effect on A549 cells. They presented IC50 values from 39.07 mg/L to 56.43 mg/L. PEO and SEO also exhibited inhibitory activity against four bacterial strains including Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Escherichia coli. MIC of PEO were 245.00-504.33 mg/L, MIC of SEO were 495.00-1 004.68 mg/L. Furthermore, in all assays of antioxidant ability, PEO showed stronger antioxidant properties than SEO. IC50 value of PEO against DPPH and ABTS radical were 3.15 and 2.31 g/L, respectively. IC50 of SEO against DPPH and ABTS radical were 5.43 and 10.11 g/L, respectively. In a word, this study supports the potentials of PEO and SEO as antibacterial and antineoplastic agent.
