Três óleos essenciais extraídos das folhas, frutos e raízes de Ottonia martiana Miq. (Piperaceae), espécie comum da floresta Atlântica brasileira, e conhecida popularmente por "anestésia", foram analisados por CG-EM e submetidos a um ensaio antibacteriano bioautográfico frente a Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC 25923), Staphylococcus epidermidis (ATCC 12228), Pseudomonas aerogenes (ATCC 27853) e Escherichia coli (ATCC 25922). Setenta e sete compostos foram identificados e submetidos a uma análise comparativa, a qual revelou uma variabilidade no teor dos componentes majoritários desses óleos (espatulenol, óxido de cariofileno, (E)-nerolidol, viridiflorol, β-cariofileno, δ cadineno e aloaromadendreno). A presença de zonas de inibição de crescimento bacteriano nos bioautogramas analisados (Rfs 0,29 e 0,34) revelou o potencial antibacteriano dos óleos analisados frente às bactérias Gram-positivas testadas e permitiu identificar alguns dos componentes bioativos.Three essential oils extracted from leaves, fruits and roots of Ottonia martiana Miq. (Piperaceae), common species in Brazilian Rain Forest, known as "anestésia", were analyzed by GC-MS and tested in an antibacterial assay against Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC 25923), Staphylococcus epidermidis (ATCC 12228), Pseudomonas aerogenes (ATCC 27853) and Escherichia coli (ATCC 25922). Seventy-seven compounds were identified and submitted to a comparative analysis, which revealed variability on the amount of principal components of these oils (spathulenol, caryophyllene oxide, (E)-nerolidol, viridiflorol, β-caryophyllene, δ cadinene and alloaromadendrene). Inhibition zones of bacterial growth in the bioautograms (Rfs 0.29 and 0.34) showed antimicrobial activity of essential oils against tested Gram-positive bacteria and permitted to identify some bioactive components.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
