nol, a phytogenic bioactive component is frequently found in diversified herbal plants possessing well-
defined functional attributes. Prominent sources of eugenol are clove, cinnamon, tulsi and pepper. Various
extraction methods have been practiced globally for the extraction of eugenol and other nutraceutics from
plants. The most extensively employed approaches in this regard include solvent extraction, hydro-
distillation, microwave-assisted extraction, supercritical carbon dioxide extraction and ultrasound-based
extraction. Eugenol has been approved to encompass numerous beneficial aspects against a capacious
spectrum of life threatening indispositions including oxidative stress, inflammation, hyperglycemia,
elevated cholesterol level, neural disorders and cancer. In addition, eugenol has also shown strong
potential as an antimicrobial agent against wide ranges of pathogenic and spoilage causing
microorganisms. Predominantly, the principle mechanistic approaches associated with the therapeutic
potential of eugenol include its free radical scavenging activity, hindrance of reactive oxygen species'
generation, preventing the production of reactive nitrogen species, enhancement of cyto-antioxidant
potential and disruption of microbial DNA & proteins. Consequently, this article is an attempt to elucidate
the general properties, sources, extraction methods, therapeutic role and associated mechanisms of
eugenol.
