Background

The complex composition of essential oils (EOs) derived from plants offers potential therapeutic approaches for treating various medical conditions, including neurological disorders and infectious diseases. This research aimed to comprehensively analyze the phytochemical composition of Iris haynei EO and evaluate its pharmacological properties, specifically its cytotoxicity, antimicrobial activity, and modulation of AMPA receptors.

Results

The analysis of I. haynei EO, conducted using gas chromatography and mass spectroscopy, identified diethyl phthalate, α-terpineol, and benzyl acetate as the main components. Cytotoxicity experiments on several cancer cell lines revealed a dose-dependent impact. Electrophysiological recordings on HEK293T cells expressing AMPARs showed varying levels of inhibition across different subunits, with receptors encoding GluA2 exhibiting the most significant effects. The EO also demonstrated significant antibacterial activity against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, as well as fungi.

Conclusions

The findings of this study underscore the potential therapeutic benefits of I. haynei EO, particularly in treating neurological conditions associated with AMPA receptor dysfunction and exhibiting antimicrobial activity against infectious agents. The promising results warrant further investigation into the pharmacological effects of the EO, suggesting a novel approach for addressing cerebral ischemia and related neurological diseases.
