Abstract:

(2E,6E)-3,7,11-Trimethyldodeca-2,6,10-trien-1-ol or farnesol is a natural isoprenoid possessing a range of beneficial biological activities as anti-candidiasis, anti-tumor and anti-hyperglycaemia. The present study, for the first time, isolated and identified farnesol from Euclea crispa leaves’ extract, subsequently, validated its antioxidant and antimicrobial potentials. The isolated compound was confirmed by spectroscopic techniques including ultraviolet-visible (UV/Vis), fourier-transform infrared (FTIR), and 1H and 13C magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopies. By in vitro investigations, farnesol exhibited a considerable antioxidant activity with IC50 values of 113.79, 109.59, and 116.65 µg/mL for 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), hydroxyl, and nitric oxide radical scavenging assays, respectively. Additionally, farnesol performed a potent reducing power capacity which was in line with ascorbic acid, an outstanding antioxidant. By the disc-diffusion assay, farnesol exposed the superior antimicrobial activity against various disease-causing microorganisms. Significantly, at the concentration of 50 µg/mL, the compound effectively inhibited the growth of Escherichia coli and Aspergillus niger with inhibition zones of 12 and 11 mm, respectively. Findings from this research suggest that E. crispa leaf is a potential source of farnesol, a powerful antioxidant and antimicrobial agent.
