12.6.3 Alkaloids from MAPs as antibacterial agents
The structurally diverse class of nitrogen-containing organic compounds known as al­kaloids includes over 20,000 distinct compounds with a basic nitrogen atom that can exist as a primary amine (RNH
), secondary amine (R2NH), or tertiary amine (R3N)
2
[134]. Alkaloids can be categorized into two primary types based on their natural ori­gin or chemical makeup. Alkaloids are classed as either heterocyclic or typical (also called true alkaloids) with nitrogen in the heterocycle or non-heterocyclic or atypical (also called protoalkaloids or biological amines) with nitrogen in the side chain. Be­cause of its structural complexity, the second group can be further divided into 14 subgroups based on the ring structure, as shown in
Figure 12.5 [135].
This natural group of compounds exhibits a variety of pharmacological actions [136–138]. Articles on the antibacterial properties of alkaloids produced from plants have become regular these days. They may be useful in treating resistant microbial strains and may be able to inhibit the growth of bacteria, viruses, protozoa, and fungi in a variety of ways [139]. As efflux pump inhibitors (EPIs), the majority of alkaloids exhibit antibacterial properties. For example, the bacterial and fungal efflux pumps can be competitively inhibited by quinolines, isoquinolines, monoterpene indoles, ste­roidal alkaloids, and protoberberines [140]. When coupled with ciprofloxacin, piper­ine, an alkaloid of the piperidine class, exhibits potent antibacterial activity against a range of bacterial strains and functions as an EPI in
S. aureus [141, 142].
By blocking the synthesis and repair of nucleic acids, some alkaloids, such as ber­berine (an isoquinoline alkaloid), which is a potent DNA intercalator that accumulates

under the influence of cell membrane potential, have antibacterial properties [143]. Additionally, by inhibiting the MexXY-OprM efflux pump system, berberine and the antibiotic carbapenem work together to resensitize imipenem-resistant P. aeruginosa [144, 145]. The isoquinoline alkaloid chelerythrine exhibits strong antibacterial activ­ity against S. aureus, extended-spectrum β-lactamase S. aureus (ESBLs-SA), and MRSA by preventing cellular division and nucleic acid synthesis [146].
Certain alkaloids have an antibacterial effect via changing the permeability of the membrane. 8-hydroxyquinoline, for example, has antimicrobial properties against Streptococcus pneumoniae, Haemophilus influenzae, and Staphylococcus aureus. Its high lipophilicity allows it to penetrate bacterial cell membranes and reach its target site of action [147, 148].
A number of alkaloids have antibacterial qualities via preventing enzyme activity. By inhibiting the enzymatic activities of human DNA polymerases α and β as well as reverse transcriptases from HIV strains 1–2, michellamine B, a substance derived from the tropical plant
Ancistrocladus korupensis, has shown anti-HIV action [149].

ping the growth of microbes. It may disrupt Z-ring formation and stop cytokinesis in both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria by blocking FtsZ binding [150]. By changing how FtsZ protofilaments bind, sanguinarine may also have a bacteriostatic effect [151]. Some significant alkaloids that prevent the growth of the different bacte­rial strains described in the publications are shown in Table 12.3.

12.7 Some medicinal and aromatic plants with
antibacterial activity
12.7.1 Prunus spinosa L.
Prunus spinosa L. is a plant of the Rosaceae family, also referred to as blackthorn or sloe, which grows as a shrub on the slopes of wild, uncultivated terrain. Phenolics, alkaloids, terpenes, and sterols are among the powerful natural bioactive compounds found in this traditional medicinal plant, which has been used to handle a variety of illnesses. Blackthorn extracts have been found to contain the following polyphenolic compounds: kaempferol, quercetin, phenolic acids (caffeine and neochlorogenic de­rivatives), coumarin derivatives (umbelliferone, scopoletin, and esculetin), and antho­cyanins, which are thought to be among the most potent natural antioxidants and an­tibacterial agents [164–166]. Fruits and leaves of blackthorn collected in Bosnia and Herzegovina are presented in Figure 12.6.
Because of their diuretic, spasmolytic, antibacterial, and antioxidant properties, all organ parts of blackthorn have therapeutic uses and are utilized for treating a wide range of disorders [167]. The fruit, for example, is used to manufacture tea, juice, and distillates utilized in the food industry, as well as several kinds of traditional jams and drinks [166]. Although polyphenolic compounds found in fruit extracts can significantly lessen the negative effects of free radicals and encourage the growth of pathogens in the body, extracts from blackthorn flowers are suggested for the treatment of urinary tract disorders, inflammation, and cardiovascular diseases [168].
In their study, Dedić et al. [165] documented the antibacterial property of ethanol ex­tracts of blackthorn flowers, leaves, and fruits was tested against Staphylococcus aureus,
Bacillus subtilis, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Salmonella enterica, and En­terococcus faecalis, and antifungal property against Candida albicans. All investigated ex-

tracts displayed effective antibacterial activity against those bacterial strains. These find­ings are in accordance with the study by Veličković et al. [168]. Extracts from P. spinosa may be utilized as additional sources of functional additives and may be a promising natural antibacterial agent that may be used to combat microbial resistance.
12.7.2 Clinopodium nepeta (L). Kuntze
Approximately 135 blooming species belong to the genus Clinopodium nepeta L. Kuntze, which is a part of the Lamiaceae family and is widely distributed over the Mediterra nean, southern and southeastern Europe, Latin and North America, and even western Asia. This plant is also called Calamintha, Satureja, and Thymus. Calamintha nepeta (L.) Savi subsp. nepeta is the most frequently used synonym [169]. This genus is frequently abundant in essential oils and phenolic compounds, as well as consisting of flavonoids, alkaloids, terpenes, saponins, sterols, tannins, and glycosides. Due to possessing all these compounds, this aromatic and medicinal plant demonstrates numerous biological activities, including antioxidant, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, antifungal, and anti­viral [170–172]. In tea form, it has long been used to treat gastrointestinal disorders and reduce gas and cramps [173, 174]. While the EOs are used as a spice in Italian homes, they are also utilized as external compresses to treat hip pain [173, 175] and to reduce headaches, sleeplessness, and respiratory ailments [173, 176].
The study by [218] used GC and GC-MS to analyze an oil of C. nepeta (L.) Savi ssp.
glandulosa made by hydrodistillation, where 36 components (98.4%) were identified.

Pulegone (37.5%), menthone (17.6%), piperitenone (15.0%), and piperitone (10.2%) were the EO’s primary ingredients. The EOs antibacterial properties were examined against Bacillus subtilis, Salmonella enteritidis, Aspergillus niger, Staphylococcus au- reus, Escherichia coli, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. It was discovered that the mi­crobes were vulnerable to the oil [177].
Figure 12.7 presents the aromatic plant C. nepeta L. Kuntze collected in the sub­Mediterranean area in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Boškailo et al. [48, 169] reported that C. nepeta EOs collected in four areas in Bosnia and Herzegovina contained 42 compounds, including piperitenone oxide (60.2%), pi­peritenone (48.8%), and pulegone (44.8%) as the major compounds, followed by p­menthone, limonene, cis-piperitone oxide, and dihydrocarvyl acetate. These com­pounds could be a good source of antibacterial agents.
12.7.3 Lavandula officinalis
Lavender is a medicinal and aromatic plant belonging to the Lamiaceae family, which is valued mostly for its pleasing aroma. Lavandula L., which comprises 41 species of flowering plants, has been used for a variety of uses since the times of ancient Greece
Chapter 12 Medicinal and aromatic plants with antibacterial properties 439
and Rome. The flower and essential oil of lavender are used mostly in the toiletry and fragrance industries, aromatherapy, and folk medicine to treat a range of gastrointes­tinal and rheumatic disorders, depression, anxiety, and headaches [178, 179]. Laven­der oil, derived from a number of plant species, is one of the most popular essential oils. The four primary species of lavender are Lavandula latifolia, Lavandula angusti-
folia, Lavandula stoechas, and Lavandula × intermedia, which is a sterile hybrid of L. latifolia and L. angustifolia [180]. L. angustifolia, commonly referred to as true lav-
ender or commercial lavender, is the species that is most frequently grown among them. Monoterpenoids and sesquiterpenoids represent the majority of EO, with linal­ool and linalyl acetate being the most prevalent. Although other less common essen­tial oil constituents (such as terpinen-4-ol, camphor, 1,8-cineole, carvacrol, lavandulyl acetate, and lavandol) have also been assessed and demonstrated synergistic effects alongside the main chemicals, the majority of studies have concentrated on the two primary constituents of most lavender EOs (linalyl acetate and linalool) [181–184]. The chemical composition of EO is extremely complicated and can vary greatly based on a number of variables, including the plant’s morphological traits, processing methods, environmental circumstances, and cultivation area [185]. Furthermore, how EOs ex­hibit their biological function is influenced by their chemical composition [186].
Against both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, lavender oil demon­strated potent antibacterial activity [187, 188]. Linalyl acetate and linalool have been found to be strong antibacterial agents against pathogenic bacteria, including E. coli and E. cloacae [189, 190]. L. angustifolia Mill. and L. latifolia Vill., two lavender species grown in gardens in Sarajevo, were examined by Dudžević-Čančar and colleagues for their ability to fend off the fungus C. albicans and the bacterial strain M. luteus. Ac­cording to the findings, the evaluated EOs exhibited potent antibacterial activity against M. luteus strains [179].
Lavender is now thriving and cultivated in botanical gardens and in private home gardens throughout Europe as well as in Bosnia and Herzegovina (Figure 12.8.).
The Lis-Balchin study presents that EO inhibits the growth of S. enterica, A. hydrophila, and C. freundii strains in disk diffusion tests, while the Danh et al. [194] study showed antibacterial property against P. aeruginosa and E. faecalis [192, 193]. The type of bacterium as well as the amount of active ingredients determines the antibacterial activity of plant EOs. Gram-negative bacteria are more resistant due to the hydrophilic lipopolysaccharides (LPS) in their membrane, which function as a barrier against hydrophobic and macromolecules [193, 194].
12.7.4 Helichrysum italicum
The perennial subshrub Helichrysum italicum, belonging to the genus Helichrysum and the family Asteraceae, has yellow flowers and grows in Mediterranean regions’ alkaline, dry, sandy, and poor soil. Its choleretic, diuretic, and expectorant qualities

440 Alema Dedić et al.
have long been recognized in folk medicine [195, 196]. The unique EO composition and aroma of the Helichrysum species have attracted the interest of the pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and fragrance industries, which prompted new research on the topic. The commercial exploitation of wild H. italicum populations increased significantly in the Eastern European Mediterranean countries like Bosnia and Herzegovina and Croatia. Numerous pharmacological properties, including antioxidant, antibacterial, antiathero­sclerotic, antiproliferative, antidiabetic, neuroprotective, and anti-inflammatory proper­ties, are present in EOs and extracts from this plant species [197–199].
Its blossoms and leaves are the parts most often used in Bosnia and Herzegovina (Figure 12.9), Spain, Portugal, and Italy to cure conditions like allergies, colds, coughs, issues of the liver, gallbladder, and skin, as well as inflammation, infections, and in­somnia. A variety of scientific investigations have been carried out in recent decades to confirm some of the traditional uses and to identify additional possible uses for its extracts and isolated components. Also, it has been described as an antibacterial and anti-inflammatory agent in vitro. Its terpenoids, acetophenones, and phloroglucinols showed antifungal efficacy against C. albicans; flavonoids and phloroglucinols sup­pressed HIV and HSV, respectively; and its terpenes and flavonoids were efficient against bacteria such as S. aureus [197, 200–202].

Chapter 12 Medicinal and aromatic plants with antibacterial properties 441
Zheljazkov et al. [204] reported that H. italicum EO included 79 components, while H. arenarium EO contained 75 components. α-pinene (34.64–44.35%) and sabinene
(10.63–11.1%) were the primary constituents of H. arenarium EO, confirming the popu­lation being studied as a novel chemical type. Originating in France, Bosnia and Her­zegovina, and Corsica, the main constituents of H. italicum’s EO were neryl acetate (4.04–14.87%) and β-himachalene (9.9–10.99%). Nonetheless, there were some differ­ences in the EO profiles of H. italicum imported from the three aforementioned na­tions. H. italicum transplanted from France was dominated by neryl acetate, italicene, and α-guaiene (14.87%), D-limonene (5.23%), but plants brought from Bosnia and Her­zegovina were dominated by α-pinene (13.74%), δ-cadinene (5.51%), β-caryophyllene (3.65%), α-cadinene (3.3%), and α-calacorene (1.63%). EOs from all three countries show antibacterial properties against the following bacterial strains: E. faecalis,
S. aureus subs. aureus, P. aeruginosa, S. pneumonia, Y. enterocolitica, S. enterica subsp. enterica, C. krusei, and C. tropicalis [203].
H. italicum extracts also show antibacterial properties against a variety of bacte-
rial strains. Ethanol extracts from H. italicum, H. armenium, Gravolens, and plicatum have been shown in recent research to be effective against S. aureus [204]. A few sci­entists [206–208] noted that gram-positive bacteria were sensitive to dichloromethane

extract from H. stoechas and H. aureonitens. In the recent study on the antibacterial properties of plant extracts, Nostro et al. [209] demonstrated that H. italicum diethyl ether extract exhibited the best antibacterial activity against S. aureus [195, 208].
12.7.5 Mentha piperita
The genus Mentha (often called mint), belonging to the family Lamiaceae, includes a diverse group of 31 species and hybrids that differ widely in their biological character­istics. Mint is a perennial, potently fragrant medicinal herb that grows both wild and under cultivation in many countries across Europe and Asia. It is frequently used as a spice, an aroma component, in cosmetics, in the pharmaceutical industry, as well as in the form of tea, and hot or cold beverages. Because of its antioxidant potential, low toxicity, and high efficacy, the Mentha species has several health-promoting qualities, including antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, antidiabetic, and cardioprotective benefits [209–211]. The plant is aromatic and a stimulant and is used actually as a rub or lini­ment and internally as a tea, tincture, oil, or extract for allaying nausea, headaches, and vomiting. Mint oils are known to contain numerous monoterpenoids, with pule­gone,
D-limonene, piperitone, 1,8-cineole, piperitone oxide, menthone, piperitenone,
menthol, β-caryophyllene, and carvone as predominating compounds. Due to this, it is among the most often used EOs in alcoholic liquors, mouthwash, cosmetics, medi­cines, food goods, and dental preparations. Nonetheless, chemogeographical diversity in the EO composition of the Mentha species has been noted, as well as some differ­ences in the constituents of this oil from other nations [212, 213]. Figure 12.10 presents Mentha species from Türkiye.
According to the chemical composition results of the study by Džudžević-Čančar et al. [180, 212], linalool (35.40%) is the main component, followed by linalyl acetate (28.60%), 1,8-cineole (6.00%), and geranyl acetate (2.60%), which is known as the linal-
