The medicinal potential of plant extracts, especially their antimicrobial, antioxidant, antiviral and cytotoxic properties, has gained significant attention in recent years. This study examined the vitro bioactivities several selected Greek plants, like Eucalyptus globulus L., Thymus vulgaris Salvia rosmarinus L. Ocimum basilicum are well-known for traditional therapeutic use. Minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) assays were used to evaluate antimicrobial activity extracts against pathogenic bacteria. antioxidant was carried out using DPPH method, while cytotoxicity plants determined Alamar Blue method. In addition, efficacy samples tested DENV different cell lines. majority herbs demonstrated action (MIC = 30–3000 μg∙mL−1). showed great activity, extract turned be most effective (IC50 12.89 ± 0.11 contrast, had lowest 71.02 0.42 results method presented with CC50 values, it shown that exhibited highest (CC50 5.94% v/v 0.04). Similarly, expressed as EC50 characterized sample dengue virus infection, values estimated at 2.37% 0.6 (HuhD-2 cells infected DENV-2) 0.36% 0.004 (Huh7.5 DVR2A). These findings provide a foundation further studies order combat infectious diseases promote human health.
