Activity/Effect Preparation Design & Model Results Reference Antioxidant M. piperita & M. aquatica essential oil In vitro: Ability to reduce the radical generator DPPH (2,2- diphenyl-1- picrylhydrazyl) & inhibit OH radical generation in Fenton reaction Antitumor M. piperita In vitro: Non-12-O- tetradecanoylphorbol- 13-acetate (TPA)-type tumor promoter, okadaic acid (OA), which inhibits protein phosphatase-2A Antitumor Immunomodulatory Antiviral Antiviral M. piperita aqueous extract M. piperita ethanol extract Aqueous extracts of peppermint leaves Aqueous extract of M. piperita & water-soluble polar substances Antimicrobial Essential oils of M. piperita In vitro: 3-amino-1- methyl-5Hpyrido[4,3-b]indole (Trp-P-2), a human carcinogen from cooked meat, in Salmonella typhimurium assay In vitro: Human intestinal epithelial Caco-2 cells In vitro: Influenza A, Newcastle disease virus, Herpes simplex virus & Vaccinia virus in egg & cellculture systems In vitro: human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-1 in MT- 4 cells In vitro: 21 human & plant pathogenic microorganisms; microdilution, agar diffusion & bioautography assays M. piperita IC 50 = 2.53 µg/mL in DPPH model & inhibited OH <strong>for</strong>mation in Fenton reaction by 24%; showed greater activity than M. aquatica Showed potent inhibition of tumor promoter (86- 100%) Strongly inhibited the mutagenicity of this human carcinogen in the Ames test Showed increased secretion of interleukin (IL)-8, probably due to presence of constituent monocyclic sesquiterpene α- humulene Showed significant antiviral activity Showed strong anti- HIV-1 activity; effective dose = 16 µg/mL; hydrophilic polar compounds inhibited HIV-reverse transcriptase Moderately inhibited human pathogens; menthol was identified as the primary antimicrobial constituent Mimica-Dukic et al. 2003 Ohara & Matsuhisa 2002 Natake et al. 1989 Satsu et al. 2004 Herrmann & Kucera 1967 Yamasaki et al. 1998 Işcan et al. 2002 288
Activity/Effect Preparation Design & Model Results Reference Antibacterial Essential oils of M. piperita, M. spicata & M. arvensis & constituents Imai et al. 2001 Antimicrobial M. aquatica, M. longifolia & M. piperita essential oils In vitro: Helicobacter pylori, Salmonella enteritidis, Escherichia coli O157:H7, methicillinresistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) & methicillin sensitive S. aureus (MSSA) In vitro: pathogenic bacterial & fungi species Antifungal Peppermint oil In vitro: 12 pathogenic fungi, including Candida albicans, Trichophyton mentagrophytes, Aspergillus fumigatus & Cryptococcus neo<strong>for</strong>mans Gastrointestinal actions Gastrointestinal effects Aqueous extracts of M. piperita fresh or dried leaf Peppermint oil (78 µg/mL) & menthol Animal model: isolated rabbit duodenum with acetylcholine- & barium chlorideinduced muscle contraction Animal models: isolated muscle & gastrointestinal preparations, including guinea-pig ileum Showed dose-dependent inhibition of bacterial proliferation in each strain; also showed bactericidal activity in phosphate-buffered saline All essential oils showed strong antibacterial activity, especially against Escherichia coli strains, & significant fungistatic & fungicidal activity; M. piperita showed the most potent activity Showed fungicidal activity against 11 of 12 fungi tested with a MIC range of 0.25-10 µL/mL Smooth muscle relaxant effect; exhibited decrease in spontaneous activity; dried leaf extract showed more activity than fresh leaf; results suggest mechanism does not involve cholinergic antagonism or adrenergic agonism Smooth muscle relaxation via calcium channel antagonism; competitively inhibited binding of calcium channel blockers Mimica-Dukić et al. 2003 Pattnaik et al. 1996 Mahmood et al. 2003 Hawthorn et al. 1988 289
