Abstract

Tea tree oil (TTO) is the essential oil steam distilled from leaves of the Australian native plant Melaleuca alternifolia (Myrtaceae), and has been used widely as a topical antiseptic in Australia for almost 80 years . Recent investigations have confirmed that tea tree oil exhibits broad spectrum antimicrobial activity which can be principally attributed to its high content of terpinen-4-ol. Recent clinical trials have shown promise. In the last fifteen years tea tree oil, as a naturally occurring agent, has become increasingly more popular for a wide range of pharmaceutical and cosmetic products. In this review; the identity, sources, composition, pharmacological properties of tea tree oil have been summarized. Also, the general toxicology profile of tea tree oil was discussed

Özet

Tea tree oil (TTO, Çay ağacı yağı), Avusturalya’da doğal olarak yetişen Melaleuca alternifolia (Myrtaceae)’nın yapraklarından buhar distilasyonu ile elde edilen bir uçucu yağdır ve Avusturalya’da 80 yılı aşkın süredir topikal antiseptik olarak kullanılmaktadır. Yapılan araştırmalar yağın yüksek terpinen-4-ol içeriğine atfedilen geniş spektrumlu antimikrobiyal aktiviteye sahip olduğunu doğrulamaktadır. Son yıllarda yapılmış klinik denemeler ümit vericidir. Son onbeş yılda tea tre oil, doğal kaynaklı bir ürün olarak geniş bir grup farmasötik ve kozmetik ürün için artan bir populariteye sahip olmuştur. Bu derlemede tea tree oil’in tanımı, kaynağı, tarihçesi, kimyasal içeriği ve farmakolojik özellikleri hakkında bilgi verilmiştir. Yağın genel toksikolojik özelliklerine de değinilmiştir
