Antimicrobial and antileishmanial activity of essential oil from the leaves of Annona foetida (Annonaceae)

Abstract: Recebido em 2/1/08; aceito em 6/8/08; publicado na web em 15/12/08The essential oil from leaves of Annona foetida obtained by hydrodistillation was analyzed by GC/FID and GC/MS. The results showed that the major constituents were bicyclogermacrene (35.12%), (E)-caryophyllene (14.19%) and α-copaene (8.19%). The antimicrobial and antileishmanial activities were investigated. The oil showed potent antimicrobial activity against Candida albicans and Rhodococcus equi. The oil also showed significant antileishmanial… Show more

“…This result was in good agreement with that found in other Annona species as: A. densicoma (0.1% m/m) , A. muricata (0.0002%, 0.01% m/m) (Kossouoh et al, 2007;Fournier et al, 1999), A. squamosa (0.12% m/m) (Garg & Gupta, 2005) and A. foetida (0.01% m/m) (Costa et al, 2009).…”

“…However more investigations are (Table 2). A similar behavior was observed against the same protozoa with the A. foetida oil (IC50 27.2 µg/ mL) (Costa et al, 2009). Meanwhile, against the other two same Leishmania species, the volatile oil from A. foetida was more active than this of A. coriacea.…”
