Abstract: In recent years, essential oils constituents have attracted interest as alternative approach in the traditional medicine for their therapeutics properties. In this field, carvacrol, since it showed strong antimicrobial activity against a wide range of Gram-positive and -negative bacteria, has emerged as active molecule for therapeutic purpose. This review focuses on the antimicrobial properties of carvacrol and highlights the advantageous impact of the medicinal chemistry and technological-based approaches employed to improve its therapeutic profile.
