Abstract

The current study describes the chemical compo- sition, antifungal, antibiofilm, antibacterial and molecular docking studies of Syzygium dyerianum growing in Malaysia. The essential oil was obtained through hydrodistillation and characterized using gas chromatography (GC-FID) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The antifungal and antibacterial activities were developed using the broth microdilution assay, whereas the effect on the microbial biofilms was determined using a semi-quantitative static bio- film assay. A total of 31 components were identified, which represent 99.5 % of the essential oil. The results revealed that the essential oil consisted mainly of β-pinene (15.6%), α-terpineol (13.3%), α-pinene (11.1%), caryophyllene oxide (8.8%), limonene (8.1%), borneol (6.0%) and viridiflorol (5.1 %). The results of the microdilution method showed that essential oil exhibited activity against Candida albicans and Streptococcus mutans with minimal inhibitory concentration values of 125 and 250μg/mL, respectively. Furthermore, essential oil decreased the biofilm of C. albicans and S. mutans by 20.11 ± 0.27% and 32.10 ± 4.81% when treated with 250μg/mL. The best docking energy was observed with viridiflorol (−29.7 kJ/mol). This study highlights that essential oil can potentially be a natural antifungal, antibacterial, and antibiofilm agent that could be applied in the pharmaceutical and food industries.
